Extend chat muting functionality
mbutcher
S3 licensed
In a future version I would like to be able to disable chat in replays (without hiding the UI as well) and for the online functionality to persist into the lobby screen:

Use cases:
  • While broadcasting, sometimes a session changes from the lobby to track and vice-versa and chat messages are re-enabled, and require muting again. This is a problem for several reasons:
    • Sometimes with few cars on track, it is difficult to mute the chat and bring the game scene up before the lights go out.
    • Choreographing chat muting between sessions is a pain sometimes, often leading to profane chat messages being shown to the audience.
    • If a session ends, the chat sound plays because chat is unblocked automatically and that can sometimes end up being broadcasted also.
  • A more general use-case might be for people who make LFS videos. Muting chat in replays would make that easier I'd expect (Without having to hide the UI too with SHIFT+F).
Feature requests:
  • Disable chat in both single and multi-player replays (without hiding the UI).
  • Allow chat mute in the online lobby screen and let it persist between the lobby and track sessions and vice versa.
Possible implementation:

Add a third 'blocked messages' mode to persist chat muting between track<->lobby screens.

I would appreciate it if you would consider adding this to a future version. Thank you.

LOGO PACK

If you would like to use the Sim Broadcasts logo on your skin or promotional material, you can download them from our media pack. Please follow the usage guide when placing logos.


DRIVER INTERVIEWS

If you are competing, you are welcome to join our Teamspeak server to participate in mid or post-race interviews.

Once connected, please join the waiting room channel where voice is disabled. This ensures that you are not disturbed by others during your race. You may wish to disable other Teamspeak notifications by deactivating the default Teamspeak sound pack (Settings > Options > Notifications > Sound Pack > Sounds Deactivated) or by setting up a hotkey to mute/unmute your Teamspeak audio.

Please note: Being in the waiting room channel means that you are prepared to be interviewed at any time. You will only be moved into the commentary booth if your speakers and microphone are unmuted.

Once you have Teamspeak installed, you can connect to our server at: ts.simbroadcasts.tv


DISCLAIMERS

Use of our Teamspeak server comes with a couple of disclaimers. Please make sure you are aware of them.
  • Members of the Sim Broadcasts team should not be disturbed at any time on our Teamspeak server so please refrain from messaging or poking them. Doing so will result in your immediate removal from the server.
  • We will try to interview as many drivers as possible post-race and will prioritise those with the best results in each session. We will only interview drivers mid-race if it fits with the race narrative.
  • Please try to act professionally during your interview and avoid any profanities. We reserve the right to deny you future interviews if you violate these terms.

You can try the following:

Options -> Misc -> Analogue Steer Smooth: 0.95
Options -> Controls -> Wheel turn: 90 degrees
Options -> Controls -> Wheel turn compensation: 1.00

This should give you a very smooth steering input and no jerkiness or full-lock problems with small inputs.

Let me know how you get on.

This is a bit of a plea. I'd appreciate it if more drivers uploaded hi-res skins for this series, for the sake of the broadcast in future rounds.

Thanks!

Quote from Lucariwhoa :Sick broadcast today fellas! I noticed yall have trouble with my name (don't blame me, blame my mother lmao) so for future reference, Stryxnine is just like Strychnine but instead of a CH you use an X. If you need to, you can shorten it to Strix so it isn't as unwieldy lmao

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! Also noted the shortening for future rounds. That's an original name if ever I saw one. Smile

Quote from meuhmeuh :snip

Onboards no longer work in a predictable way in LFS TV Director. You should be able to get one onboard angle to work, but I'm afraid multiple onboard views aren't possible unless LFSTVD gets an update, which seems unlikely.
