I'm working on a 'radio/CD player' to see if I can. Basically it'd allow you to take a CD, put it in, and play a sound for anyone that can hear it.
This could be broadcasted to radios and such so people can kill the captain who put annoying music in.

It also would be very easy to add a 'CD burner', which would allow players to upload ~100KB max .midi files. (Midi doesn't have voices, so there wouldn't be anything inappropriate. They are also very small.

EDIT: Seperate radios. Not the intercoms. That would cause mass bomb explosions just to end the music.

So, good idea or no?

Work on game balance first. Bring everything together first, before making awesome new features.

[quinnr]

What needs to be balanced?

Also, I don't know if we'd even put this in if I made it. But I am making it for myself, and might as well put it out there.

[garfield751]

well 40 billion dregree plasma i think might be a bug and im not exaggerating about the tempeture

on the up side i think im the only one that knows how to make it

[quinnr]

A bug?

And 4M degrees has been possible...for a while through a bug.

And the edit command can allow admins to make INF strength bombs.

[Sukasa]

That last one isn't a bug, though 

[quinnr]

No. But it is awesome. Very awesome.

Also, there is some awesome stuff pre-built in for sound in BYOND:

Enviroment variable 
I am going to test all of them myself. Especially 'psychotic' mode.

JOB IDEA:
Ok so you all know how in metroid prime for the GBA the ship has sectors that are different environments based on what lives there?
Well why don't we add specific ones to our station, have jobs to go with it and they give different things from it.
Default/green plains: Full of trees and shit, grows some food like corn or something, also provides oxygen.
Snow: provides cool air for the station for cooling and heating
Sand: cactus,heat, yeah!
Swamps/rain forest: Plump helmets grow here, and monkeys roam freely, some swamp shit too.

Also add jobs to go with these.

Good idea?
It's a little un-thought-out but should work alright if we add different things to it.

What's a good filesize limit for my music?
100KB for uploads? It wouldn't make any lag, and that'd be enough for every midi file I have,

[Sukasa]

Not on my server.  That'll take (2 Seconds) * (Number of clients connected) to send on my upload.

[quinnr]

Oh really?
What makes it so slow?
Also, it sends the file to every person connected?

Preset songs only if it gets implemented then. :-P

[Sukasa]

Yes, really.
My upload is 60 Kbytes/second
Okay, so only those who'll hear it.  Still a bad delay where they cannot do anything until the file send has completed

[quinnr]

That's crazy. I never see any lag on your server.
Preset files would work though, correct?

You could include them in the updates.

[Sukasa]

Preset yes, since they don't have to be sent.

And there is lag on my server, especially w/ more people.
