Note: It is highly recommended to purchase a quality USB headset when
performing VoIP with other players. As an example, the Plantronics Audio 626 is a
good low cost USB headset, shown in the image to the right. USB headsets
contains their own “sound card”, thus you are able the separate the VoIP and ingame battle actions sounds.
In order to connect to the DigitalThemePark VoIP server we
recommend setting up a TeamSpeak Bookmark. This is
accessed by clicking on Bookmarks, Manage Bookmarks.
Alternatively, you can press shortcut Ctrl+B.
Click on Add Bookmark to create a new entry to add the
pertinent DigitalThemePark TeamSpeak server
information. Notice the created “New Server” entry.
Enter the following information:
•
•
•
Label: DigitalThemePark
Address: ts3.digitalthemepark.com
Nickname: <Your preferred nickname>
Click More to enter additional information.
•
Phonetic Nickname: < See below >
The Phonetic Nickname is used as text-to-speech when
connecting and changing channel. It is not heard by the
user but other Citizens in TeamSpeak.
If you want to test out your phonetic nickname, back at the main menu, select Self, Set Phonetic
Nickname and you will be able to play, hear, and tweak your nickname.

If this is the only TeamSpeak server you connect to,
we recommend clicking Connect on Startup. When
you launch TeamSpeak, DigitalThemePark will be
auto-connected.
Now when you click on Bookmarks you should see
“DigitalThemePark”. Click to connect to the
DigitalThemePark TeamSpeak Server.
Once connected, click once on the Welcome channel. Expand the right-pane in order to see the detailed
channel text and images. You may have to maximize your TeamSpeak window in order to see this. Click
on the “Download Custom Sound Files” link.
Extract and move the downloaded files to:
(x64) C:\Program Files\TeamSpeak 3 Client\sound
(x86) C:\Program Files (x86)\TeamSpeak 3 Client\sound
The Whisper function is used to broadcast to sibling TeamSpeak channels. This is used for the game
commanders and leaders, to relay commands and situation reports, or SITREPS, to all sibling channels.
Back in TeamSpeak, have a Citizen hit their Whisper key
to make sure you hear the new whisper_notify.wav radio
“click” sound instead of the default “Pssst”.
There are a few more application settings that need to be
changed. Select Settings, Options.
Click Whisper.
•
Uncheck: Always show whisper history when
receiving a whisper.
This will stop the annoying popup dialog when you
receive a whisper.
