PO Midi

Post by NoahKirchner » 15 Dec 2016, 16:15

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Allow the PO to set midis on his flight console.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Can make flights more dramatic/atmospheric without requiring an admin.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Have the pilot officer able to select a midi from a list to play whenever the rasp launches, but ONLY the pilot officer, and it will only play when the rasp launches. Furthermore, have it take 30 minutes to an hour to recharge.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Coding

Would it only affect the Shuttle area? I guess it'd work like a jukebox or instrument.

If that's possible, yes, but I dunno if it is.

That's basically what I was thinking.

That's why I suggested the 30 minute to an hour timer inbetween Midis.

Ah. I didn't see that. Perhaps we could also have (lame I know) pre-selected MIDIs.

Yeah, that's a good idea, that way we can have player songs that aren't just some ear rape file.

This was actually one of the original ideas behind the pilot role. We ultimately decided against it because of file bloat and the community's general dislike of having the same five song being played over and over.

Maybe, instead of having it play as a Midi, it could play like a violin but with pre-selected songs? (would take some work to get them to work in the format) That'd also make it so that you could only hear it on the Rasputin.

I assume you say "god no" because it'd be spammed with no restrictions, but in the suggestion I mentioned either having a time limit on when you could use it, or only having it be able to be used once in a round. That way it either helps the round, or you get a midi in the background to turn off, couldn't really hurt it.

More Midis = More download time and lag.

Denied, for now at least.
