Music @ V17 Options

[seekz]

So I saw some people complaining about music over the PA... I have a half decent & very fun solution ?

How about a live broadcast of DJ'ing scheduled at specific parts of the LAN ? It could be fun and gives people a chance to request song's and all that kind of shiz, and the best part is it's totally optional and can easily run in the background while you're leeching instead of gaming.

I broadcast over vent & through other programs all the time, using programs & proper hardware, & I DJ for a living so am very keen to put this proposal to good use. Happy to bring in the equipment or just do it with the programs.

I was actually going to try it out this LAN (Hence why I was asking you those Q's Squid) but I couldn't figure out how to run two instances of Teamspeak or Mumble so was unsuccessful, but if I can figure out that hitch, it will be a sinch to broadcast through those 2 programs. Although, vent is much easier

So advantages to this:

- Fun, listen to some good music or request your own.
- Optional music
- Properly mixed
- Runs smoothly in the background and does not disturb other's who do not want music
- Easily request the track name and leech it off the DJ (If he's feeling generous )

What do you guys reckon ?

I think to be honest it's something I've suggested that we feed the PA into a shoutcast server. This way people in official games etc, can still hear announcements. SirSquid and his band of merry men wrote the Respawn Announcer tool to try and help out too.

Reading this thread lets summarize:
1. People wont like others music
2. Sillyheads will pre-queue deliberately irritating music (even hanson got mentioned)
3. People will complain its too loud/too soft

Long and the short of it, Respawn is between a rock and a hard place!

With your 3rd point, a Shoutcast server wouldn't have this issue. Normalize the volume going out, then if people have a problem, it's their own fault
