SA News - Full Faction Script (+Rep for release!) - Jingles - 24.08.2013




+REP FOR RELEASE!

Video Presentation:
Dear SA-MP Community,

Hereby I present you a full faction re-haul of SA News. It is the FIRST full-featured release of this faction, so I am really proud to be about to release it.

The essential function which have been fully updated to 2013-SA:MP standards:
- /broadcast (Used to broadcast a TV Show).
- /live (Used to host live-interviews with).
- /nr (Used to host the news).
- /cameraangle (Used to switch cameras within /broadcast).
- /watchtv (Used to view the (/)broadcast).


So, what has been re-scripted:

PLAYER Features:
DYNAMIC TV SYSTEM:

The "TV" text draw:



SAN Features:

BROADCAST FUNCTION:

After enabling the system, people are able to do '/watchtv', and members of SAN are able to talk in '/TV', and use the camera/director functions (declared later on).
DYNAMIC CAMERAMAN FEATURE:

A few options:

/cameraman set: This will preview the camera angle you'll be broadcasting on the TV (anyone doing /watchtv).

/cameraman broadcast: This will broadcast the set cameraangle to the TV.

/cameraman aircraft: This will enable the cameraman to broadcast from his aircraft (using nifty 'spectating'-functions). For example: Broadcast from up the air on a gang/faction fight, war, chases, etc.

/cameraman car: This will enable the cameraman to broadcast from his car. It works like the 'aircraft' function, but is used on the ground only. Example: Chase scenes.

DYNAMIC CAMERA: Camera's that move smoothly (from point 'A' to 'B').
/cameraman interpolate: This will display the 'interpolate' help menu.

Defined: This is a camera that moves smoothly/fluently from a set point 'A' to 'B'. I translated this function to an application within the role of the cameraman:

/cameraman setinterpolateA: This will set "Point A" of the camera: the 'start' of the moving camera.

/cameraman setinterpolateB: This will set "Point B" of the camera: the 'destination' of the moving camera.

/cameraman previewinterpolate: This will allow the cameraman to p preview his custom-made interpolate-camera. He is still able to change the A/B values.

/cameraman finishinterpolate: This will broadcast the interpolate camera.
DIRECTOR FEATURE:

The "director" directs the show: he sets the cameraangles (with either /director or /cameraangle).
/director stopcameras: This will set a "Technical difficulties"-message, allowing SAN to fix possible faulty cameraangles/cameraman, etc.

CAMERA ANGLE FUNCTION:

Available camera angles:[INDENT=4]- Default (the first /broadcast camera position).
- Cameraman (if there's a cameraman broadcasting, it'll be his camera angle).
- Overview (A "Bird's Eye"-perspective of the scene).
- Interpolate (This will enable the "interpolate" camera function (see 'Cameraman')).
- Aircraft/Car (This will broadcast from the vehicle a cameraman would be in, if there is any).
MISC. FUNCTIONS:

Some more functions will come. I'll keep you updated in this post.
Feel free to post any suggestions. I'm currently working on the TV studios and on a few bug fixes (but those are minor, luckely (for me )).


Cheers,
