As the title says add a jukebox to the bar!

It will not use youtube links or uploads as that could be too abusable. Instead if will have a set list of songs you can select. Those with bar access can set it to any song and set it to loop through songs. Those without can put in a coin to select any song they want from the selection.

So yes, the songlist will be curated to keep up the right kind of atmosphere and to make sure nothing too OOC and shitty gets played.

For instance I think much of the VA-11 Hall-A OST would be perfect for the bar. It's got the right feel for some nice background music as people sit around and drink.

call me biased I dare you

Biased

In all fairness I was the one who suggested using the Valhalla ost. Also FTL

To repeat what I said on the discord

Ok. Steal Bay's jukebox code, let the bartender have the most control over the machine, and toss in the Valhalla and FTL ost's. If you emag it you get fuck bees, ocean man, and the DK remixes.

maybe have a custom song request that the bartender can use that runs the link by the admins to approve and has a 5 minute cooldown if rejected/approved so it cant be spammed
:shrug:

neat idea.

wont happen.

Only if Cargo gets boomboxes.

Why not? We can just steal Bay's work.

It is a bad idea because licensing issues with music. Unless we use something that uses youtube urls, from a defined list.

if you allow player input there aren't any licensing issues, but the second you curate it which makes it tied to either the codebase or the server you have to take into account whether or not we're legally allowed to host the OSTs you're proposing

i think the best way to make it work would be what somebody else said where you have to run links past admins so you can't just spam NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER or something, which still isn't ideal because admins generally have other things things going on but could work if they're not busy

I don't think you can convert web sounds to playsound_local though which makes it a pain in the dingus since urls/web sounds are played through goonchat.

Also technically keeping a curated list of youtube urls is fine, hosting the actual soundbits would be questionable though.

You could make it where if a admin approves a song, the song can be played as many times as you want for the rest of the round.

Songs that have been accepted more than 10 times are added to a database of accepted songs.

Make it a preference if people hear it or not, and it won't bother anyone.

We don't need to listen to licensing and copyright rules do we? /tg/ is free and we already have literal xenomorphs and riplys.

adding more is still sketchy

I mean I'd be surprised if we got in trouble for the va-11 hall-a soundtrack, the developers are two blokes from venezuela who are pretty chill and only care if you make money off of direct game assets. We aren't making any money here.

could always shoot them an email if you wanted

Or we could just throw up our hands and throw a bunch of royalty free music on the thing.

add a db system for admins to add and del youtube-dl compaitble links for normal/emagged playback, we're not hosting any music, we're linking to it.

do we really trust our admins to add nonshit and setting-appropriate links to the machine

DES
PA
CITO

Have a basic list of non-threatening shit that we won't get wrecked for, lobby music, shit that's already in the game like the disco stuff etc,

Some memes for the memag

Let admins add songs and label them round-by-round. Admins love spamming music and nothing happens in the first ten minutes so it'll probably get plenty of shit.

Let the crew pick what songs they want and suffer punishment if they're playing trash. People getting lynched over their bad taste in music is hilarious.

just make it support music notation like the instruments

the problem with not curating it at all even if it's a funny idea is if some jokester plays a 30 minute straight recording of volume-maxed loud noise
if we could fix that with a code solution (maybe a max volume thing if that's possible? max length should definitely be doable) then this might actually be funny

That's when you mute and go kill whoever started playing trash. Just make the jukebox display who picked this song and make it possible for admins to jukeboxban people who abuse it to grief and bam the system is flawless.

I'd support a box that pulled from YT or Soundcloud as long as there's a ban for it because boy do I love banning people.

only on an atmos sim can you get banned for playing the jukebox wrong.

I dunno. I'm pretty sure anywhere that gave the public access to their speaker system would throw you out for playing a 45hz square wave for 10 minutes.

Some motherfucker would try that too.

Most would just outright ban you under spam instead of creating a jukebox specific ban
