I don't know how many of you have seen this feature in DM servers, but I think it's pretty neat and would definitely attract players.

For those who don't know what it is, it's a plugin that lets players browse a song list inside the server and play music in-game (only you can hear the song you pick), but I think it's pretty cool.  All they have to do is type "radio" and a list appears (kind of like "admin" for mani), and they select a song.  I found that this is a neat way to make players stay longer, since rather than dying and quitting out of anger, they at least wait until the song finishes ;)


So, would this be possible perhaps?

here is an idea, just run your own music player while you are playing your game.  then your playlist is likely to have more songs and only the ones you want to hear. 

don't mean to shoot down your idea, i just think we can use our resources a little better.

Tell that to the people who linger in those DM servers.  The whole point would be that people don't always have the songs they like to listen to in-game on their own MP3 player.

I know this will probably use more bandwidth and whatnot, but I haven't exactly seen any other ideas so far.  I love the eventscripts idea so much on Nite's server that I would find it just as fun on the crypt too.

this would cause lag to escalate to never before seen proportions in the crypt i reckon. similar things have been suggested before and all shot down for reasons of lag. (and for llenta's reason too... why would you wan't to listen to some other schmuks music?)
yeah, i'm a cranky 'oul fucker. deal with it.

Then we need bigger and better ideas.  Are evenscripts possible and would they be popular here?

Dont mean to help shot down your idea but there is not eoungh banddwith for the servers now. until we get the bigger bandwidth pack next month it wont work. right now we are using more bandwidth than we are suppose to, and that leads to paying extra every month, untill next month anyways.

I'd personally find this idea useless... I always listen to I-tunes.
