Title: Suggestion.
Post by: Revolver on September 05, 2013, 07:34:29 pm

Hello, i don't really know, it's possible or no, you decide.

So, i'd like to see in the new client's version an ability to have a radio on the server.

How may it work.

You create your own playlist and upload it on your server's database in some folder in the .mp3 format, when it's uploaded, you can turn it off/on any moment you want on the server, using /setradio on <filename> <Radiostation's name> (/setradio on yourmp3name.mp3 SexRadio, there, where stands "Radiostation's name", you have to set its name to allow users to switch on some other radiostation, if they don't like current one, using /radio <Radiostation's name>, to turn off the radio (for admins) - /setradio off), and everything what was recorded in that mp3 file will be being played on the server, also anyone who doesn't want to listen to radio can just do /radio off.

Commands:

For admins:

/setradio on <MP3's file name> <Radiostation's name>
/setradio off
/setradioname <MP3's file name> <Radiostation's name> (if you want to rename it)
/deleteradio <Radiostation's name>

For users:

/radio on
/radio off
/radio <Radiostation's name>
/radiolist - To display a list of available radiostations
/radioinfo - To find out what radiostation is currently being played.

The aim of the suggestion.

To make people's gameplay more colorful and interesting. It'd be great update for 0.4.

Thank you for your attention, if you have any questions, ask here.

nice idea, but I think the commands could be server-side instead client-side.

If this is going to be implemented, it should just expose the functions for the Miles Sound System or BASS (http://www.un4seen.com/) libraries to plugins. Nothing should be hardcoded.

And also the ability to include Live Stream Radio.... Not just only files in a local directory.

Completely feasible if we use BASS instead of trying to hook MSS. The problem with MSS is that the version used by VC is over a decade old and likely does not support live streams.
