Custom level music on dedicated server?

<< < (2/3) > >>

kraid:
So you're talking about a server intro thing, not about replacing the music completly.

I guess there are possibilities for that e.g. with a admin tool like sourcemod.
The most common usage is having quake sounds played at certain events like a kill or death of a player.

Most ppl are annoyed of these things and i'd prefer to play on a server that doesn't force me to download a whole lot of additional files wasting minutes of my time i'd rather spent playing. (beside that i disable these sounds as soon as possibly anyway)

If you wanna create an enjoyable experience for the players, i'd rather think about Features like map and gameplay voting.


I guess an intro sound of let's say 10-15 seconds would be ok though.

No, I meant replacing the music entirely. :P

kraid:
This is impossible. Also i cannot think of any reason why anyone would want to replace them.

Don't get me wrong, the soundtrack is epic, but I was thinking of putting custom music on my server to match the custom sort of gamemodes I mostly run on it. Set the right atmosphere for them.

kraid:
The decission on the music is always up to the client, at least the ones that know how to edit the music scripts.
All you might be able to do is offfering alternatives.
Back in beta 1.1 days we had a webmusic stream thing on the WNx server as well.
It featured several classic bond themes as well as some other stuff.

I guess it was an admin tool feature/plugin since you called it with !radio.
But i'm not sure if it's still possible.
Also note that an additional stream might worsen the players game experience by increasing latency.
