Gtatari Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 I have an Idea that would probably be pretty easy to implement in all GTA's. It's simple: when GTA starts up, it randomizes the position in each radio file, so you don't always hear the radio's from the begining each time.. All mta has to do, is reset the file positions when you connect in the mta client.. the server can keep track of each radio, and only one packet has to be sent to NEW clients only.. which means there will be virtually no bandwith lost. So when lazlow cracks a joke, everyone can give their two-cents. A simple idea, that would make it pretty cool. Also, when you ride with someone, when you first enter the car, that player should ping you the radio station they are on, (very very low bandwidth, virtually none) and when they change in as well, so you listen to the drivers preference. This would be cool, because you'd be hearing the same thing as the driver of the car. Mp3 stations would not be synced. Link to comment
darkdreamingdan Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 i think this has been mentioned before, with eai replying 'blue, blue, blue'. it was a topic by slothman. synced radio times would be easy enuff to do, which would be cool, i dont think the 'pinging' the passenger is necessary, there wudnt be much point putting effort into keeping the same radio station in the car with little outcome Link to comment
Slothman Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 yeah, I cant wait till the fights start over which radio station everyone has to listen to in the car "I'll turn this infurnus around an no one will get to visit grandma!" Link to comment
happyrock Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 I don't even use the radio so meh. Link to comment
Slothman Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 I turned it off, cause every time I hear that crocodile hunter knockoff talk aout raping dolpins Every time I spawn it gets less funny. Link to comment
Vicer/Spitfire Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 My radio wont play in VC so I cant listen to anything but the Random MP3 Player in the game. Meh. Link to comment
Oli Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 ive mentioned this before too... but this particular idea doesnt take into account that ppl listen to diff radie st's.. would be funny if ure a passenger in a car and the driver changes the station ure listening to and it took effect for the passengers too.. although it would be annoying in a way i guess. I guess this stuff will be syncable in blue Link to comment
{FKU}Warfire Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 lol.. ya i often thought it would be cool to hear a car go by with the music blastin' and the bass poundin'. Hear it get louder as it approaches and fade out as it passes. Especially if MP3's are synched too. Now that's entertainment Link to comment
ULK!Nick Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 lol, maybe when everyone has 20meg connections mp3s'll be synched Link to comment
TreeChop Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 lol, maybe when everyone has 20meg connections mp3s'll be synched rofl, that will be a few years Link to comment
