I was lookin for a way to add streaming audio (simlar to shoutcast) to my tfc server so that when people connect to the server it starts streaming audio to the client (online server radio) , i suppose a plugin would have to be written since the halflife engine dosent recongize websites but im not sure becase in the wonncomm they have IPs so i thought it ask the questin here ...

Is there a way for my tfc server to stream audio to the servers clients with something simlar to http://67.85.148.54:6969/listen.pls ?without having to connect to the site b4 joining???

Thought I would bump this up. There are probably new ways to do this with Steam. And now that I have a server, I thought I would use a plugin like this to stream The Ville Radio. Of course I would need the music to be optional, so people with 56k don't get all screwed up.

Osiris, here is a thought (try it but i dont think itll work lol like many things i think of dont)

I think that steam uses mp3 support, by this u have the client send the command to the console and it will execute that mp3, well if you find a way to send that string and make the client use it then id be somethin like

Ex.

onconnect (who knows how i dont lol mabe u do cuz u run server)
send the string to em playmp3 "ip/*.pls" (or whatever command is)

do i make ne sence? well if i do that should theoritacly play the mp3. But thats me and my goofy thinking

Osiris get on AIM soemtime and mabe i can elaborate more on the topic.

That's a good idea! But not everyone is on Cable. Won't it contribute more lag for those with 56k ?

Yes, it will. So if he does do this he should have a choose number to set which stream to go to and have like 1 for dsl/cable users (good quality) then 56k users to a shitty 1, but who knows.
