This topic isn't fancy, and it's not supposed to be. It's here purely to showcase any projects I'm doing and to garner feedback/suggestions.



Current Projects

VOX Announcement System

Remember Black Mesa's Announcement System in HL1?
It's pretty much exactly that and is aimed at RP servers.

Features:

* Ability to play VOX sounds to the entire server via a command, if you're an admin. This is logged to the console.
* You can enter an entire sentence e.g. "/vox all personnel report to medical bay" and it'll play as a sentence, word by word.
* Has a brick event which can be used by all players to play VOX sounds at a brick (not server-wide).
* Trouble free sound loading. Add/remove/replace VOX sounds in the folder and the add-on will compile the audio datablocks for you so you don't have to.

Current Issues:

* I haven't been able to measure how long it'd take to download 617 individual sound files from a server. That's 617 audio datablocks taking up space.
* lawsuits? LAWSUITS?

Graffiti

A lag inducing add-on (depends, actually) which developed as a horrifying tumor off of the SMM Blood'n'Bodies mod (original authors: Port, Jack Noir).

Will update with actual information soon + better media (like tomorrow or the day after or something).

Media:


Holy stuff, this is wonderful

aaaaaa

wow.
didn't see that one coming.

literally every add-on I make seems to be either influenced by you as an idea or as code from an add-on you've made previously (SMM). I legitimately thought that for one second, the VOX announcement system was a unique idea in BL and that no one else had made it before.

why'd you never release yours?

why'd you never release yours?

If I remember correctly it was because back then all the audio datablocks it added was a lot compared to the notably lower limit, as well as that I never bothered to make it particularly user friendly (you can see me triggering it with the console in the video).

Oh boy VOX
It's ss13 all over again

yep.
I can already foresee the chimes of "security is ass" being repeated constantly for 5 minutes straight.
