Emmanuel_Lorras Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) Short description: TV system Detailed description: Basically, you know that cinema thing that we got? Allowing people to /add/ streaming links and broadcast to people in-game? That's what we should get for the TV's in the houses. Good thing is, GTA V has few flat-screen TV's, they are pretty large in size and would be perfect fit for a in-door roleplay , watching TV and such, or doing bookies -- betting shop and what-not. We can limit to certain "flat-screens" only, so developers would have to focus the "video" motion on that "flat-screen" object ID and then people could spawn it with furniture system and get a notification saying "Did you know, you can do /tv and add streaming links " Commands to add: /tv [link] [pause] [remove] [on] [off] [volume] [channel 1-100] - /tv link www.youtube.com/video/random_streaming123213f Items to add: For flat screen (s) only. How would your suggestion improve the server? It'd improve the indoor factor , would bring people enjoyment to do bookies, betting shops or just watch some stuff in the house, people spend a lot of time rping indoors. Additional information: You get the idea... hehe. But yeah, why not? Using same cinema set-up expect just downscale it. News usage? Who knows, maybe news department could get a helicopter with a zooming camera (similar to what LSPD has) and follow through some police car chases or whatever, and announce via phone app / ad - that's its being broadcasted on TV and people could just watch the live-youtube chase. And plus it can also give news to be unique. Imagine news announcing its broadcast and you see a reporter standing in front of a crime scene and the dude that'd be "recording" it - he could have an access to a "Breaking news" UI, so the live-video would look like an actual news. Simple as that!! Example: Edited January 31, 2021 by Emmanuel_Lorras 6 Link to comment
Emmanuel_Lorras Posted January 31, 2021 Author Share Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) This thing would be a great addition for Weazle News - at least for once, news department could be taken bit more seriously and it'd actually be fun, because lets be honest. Reading the news chat is just boring. People wanna see it in-action, so to speak. We could have a system where, when the dude is recording a..crime scene or whatever, or when its candidates - the news staff would give them "microphones" /givemic or something and those who have that mic-access, people would be able to read their "news" texts like before, but seeing some activity on TV so to speak, would be dope. Imagine a cop chase, and you got news helicopter with co-pilot following the scene. They make the announcement about breaking news, it'd pop an icon in phone / ad or something , afterwards the co-pilot would just comment on situation and people could watch him zoom the camera in and read the green-text like before.... that simple, soooo to speak. In my opinion, this is the only thing that GTA W is missing and nobody really have ever done this before, but its possible..we got the tech, guys!! Let's make a dead and boring thing..into something useful and progressive, when was the last time anyone showed news some attention? So this is a 2 for one suggestion 🙂 Edited January 31, 2021 by Emmanuel_Lorras Link to comment
Emmanuel_Lorras Posted January 31, 2021 Author Share Posted January 31, 2021 Imagine, we could have live-streams of the "soccer" games , or some competition by Hang Ten or whatever..how much cool stuff could come out of it. For all I care, those who wanna have a "channel" should be donators to access to this perk, similar to how donators can add music on UCP, expect this would be the same for TV channels 🙂 Link to comment
ThomasNoman Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Sounds cool, but all the TV shows or whatever streaming would have narrations in voice, but it's a text server, so how? Link to comment

WatchingEye Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 This would be a lovely addition to the server, I remember sitting there and just reading the news chat and boring myself almost to the point I considered just going to sleep instead. Link to comment
Emmanuel_Lorras Posted January 31, 2021 Author Share Posted January 31, 2021 Imagine the political debates, or live in courts and etc..how sexy it'd be and how much it'd promote the social-aspect of the community. Plus they could announce wanted suspects and etc.. all that stuff, and news doesn't have to be on side-lines, but actually impact peoples lively hood and things to be taken seriously and not just skipped ahead. If you ask me, having this kind of feature would improve the community over-all, because in reality.. news is highly urgent to people, despite people disliking whats on it, it still delivers that interest. And here, it'd just make people stay on their toes and be careful with their criminal act, and it goes same way for law enforcement agencies. Link to comment
ThomasNoman Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Yeah, the feature itself will be cool, but I, for one, wouldn't really watch TV OOCly because it's going to take forever for the broadcaster or whoever that narrates or talk to type in chat. Link to comment
