Radio Traffic Exchange (real-players' radio traffic)

ExFishermanBob · 09-09-15, 03:52 AM

Is there any interest in having a small program which has real radio traffic to / from BdU from other players of SH3, appear in your own radio messages? (Obviously only if you and they had 'signed up' to a server). Basically, when you save, your radio traffic would be uploaded to a central point: when other users update, the messages would be downloaded and placed in the relevant messages_|en|fr|de|.txt file to be displayed next time the game is loaded, at the appropriate time, etc. The messages would be marked in some way so that you could identify them (e.g. [RL] for real-life, or something).

I've been developing this for flotilla use, but it struck me that non-flotilla people might enjoy that sense of immersion in a 'real' world as well, and a more general program might be of interest (perhaps, also, some flotillas might allow access to their traffic being 'public', perhaps encouraging membership).

Messages can have the captain's name and some other information appended.

If anyone is interested, let me know here (or PM me).

An interesting idea.

I would like to see how it works as I am part of the Wolves at War group.
