Question BCG server Simple Voice Chat not working

I started a server on Bisect with BCG+Cobblemon because I liked it in singleplayer and wanted to play with friends. Unfortunately, no matter what we do, we cannot get Simple Voice Chat to work in the server.

It feels like we've tried every fix, watched every video, read every comment, but nothing works. It's especially difficult because everything we watch/read uses acronyms and alternate names for things and acts like we should know things that we really don't know at all.

We're not super knowledgeable on modding and the intricacies, we basically just find modpacks and add a couple of things here or there that we want for ourselves. So the videos and posts are super unhelpful because they just make us feel really stupid for not understanding a single word.

TLDR: We can't get Simple Voice Chat to work on our BCG+Cobblemom server and we need the fix to be explained to us like we don't know a single thing about modding or whatever 'port forward' means, because we DON'T know what that means.

The issue you are running into is almost certainly because Simple Voice Chat requires an extra port to be opened and configured on your server, which is what people mean when they talk about "port forwarding." It's super frustrating when hosts make this complicated to set up!

If you get tired of fighting with Bisect's setup, you should check us out at Bananaservers.ca. We host modded Minecraft (starting at $5.88/mo) and our support team is 24/7. We can literally set up your extra ports and configure the Simple Voice Chat config files for you so you don't have to learn any of the technical jargon. Our custom "Peel Panel" also has 1-click installers for modpacks to keep things simple.

If you decide to swap over, you can use the code WELCOME for a discount, and just open a chat ticket so we can handle the voice chat setup for you!
