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:

Meaning: the view your character would have (the 'front'vector). 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:

When using this, it will set the "TV Camera"at the current player's (cameraman's) view (the direction its character is aiming at, again: the 'front vector'). A few options: Quote: Originally Posted by Functions STATIC CAMERA: Camera's that move statically (not from point 'A' to 'B') /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:

Quote:

Originally Posted by Command /director: This command will enable a member of SAN to take the lead in a TV broadcast. It will spawn a status-viewer (TV-watch-counter/modes/etc.). 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:

Quote:

Originally Posted by Command /cameraangle: This allows any SAN member to set the camera angle. 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:

Quote:

Originally Posted by Command / tv: This is used by the TV Host. It will only send client messages to those who are watching the TV (those whom have done /watchtv).

Quote:

Originally Posted by Command /tvshow: This command is used to invite other players to the tv show. It will enable them to talk on the /tv-string (the chat that is viewed by anyone doing /watchtv).

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 )).
