Post by: treminator on June 10, 2007, 11:39:09 pm: It's the polite reverse sesame street game of pronouncing words out backwards, so you don't actually have to cuss:

IT .......... SH
IT ....... SH
IT ... SH
ITSH!

You can reread Paradox's post and it will all make perfect sense now.

Update: I added instructions for setting it up on Windows with Winamp.

iTunes Script Host, a multiplatform interface for interfacing with itunes, works on windows too.

See here: iTunes COM SDK for windows (http://developer.apple.com/sdk/itunescomsdk.html)

Post by: TinMan on June 11, 2007, 05:33:19 am: If someone wants to make it with that then they can, but imo having to use an SDK to get iTunes to output the text isn't worth it, but also imo you shouldn't be using iTunes unless you're on a Mac and it's the best you got.

Post by: David on June 11, 2007, 12:52:16 pm: Someone needs a server side mod that ban people who use this.

Its a game, a game where sound is very important.
This is worse than those IRC morons who spam what there listening to.

Post by: Taiyo.uk on June 11, 2007, 02:40:55 pm: Whether you listen to music while playing is a personal preference. When I'm in a situation involving a painsaw, a grenade and alien base, the only thing missing is "Destroy All" by StaticX.

But I think that that's rather useless information for most other players. Think of it like this:

Quote from: "server log"
Taiyo.uk: Now Listening To: Destroy All by StaticX

Taiyo.uk: Now Listening To: Destroy All by StaticX

AnotherPlayer1: stfu!

AnotherPlayer2: STOP SPAMMING!
AnotherPlayer3: Nobody cares what crap you're listening to!
AnotherPlayer1: YEah, shut up!

Post by: TinMan on June 11, 2007, 09:05:11 pm: ROFL! You should never do it more than once per song...I do it whenever rawr asks what I'm listening to.

B.T.W.
I got to see Static-X live in NewYork in like 1998, it was so badass...

Post by: Kaleo on June 12, 2007, 01:16:37 am: Put a .wav music file in a "music" folder in the base folder and type /play [song] and listen to music. I the game is running off ioQuake3, then mp3's will work as well.

Post by: Paradox on June 14, 2007, 04:43:06 am: This is how to tell the world what your listening to, kaleo.

I have 1uped you tin, and am posting instructions for a service that lets you post to files from several clients, but update your status in many other things too, like google talk and irc.
Title: How-to: Now Playing Song In Game
Post by: TinMan on June 14, 2007, 05:06:19 am: Good for you, for Windows? XD
In *nix most anything can do that without much barney.

The file “/home/tinman/.tremulous/base/configs/song.cfg” doesn’t exist yet, so I opened a terminal and ran “nano ~/.tremulous/base/configs/song.cfg” which opened a new file in nano, then Ctrl+O will “WriteOut” (save) the file, and Ctrl+X will Exit nano.

Replace this with “touch ~/.tremulous/base/configs/song.cfg”

And, by the way, the file doesn't have to exist anyway.

There is actually an app that works with not only iTunes, but with winamp and foobar2000

Post by: .f0rqu3 on June 14, 2007, 05:55:02 pm: you can change the client and hook winamp window and get the song title
but do you think they care about what you are listening?
this is just more spam

Post by: TinMan on June 14, 2007, 09:32:00 pm: @Para: Very nice. Typo on "recently" and TinMan has a capital M. =P
And I don't use "trackback" links, Wordpress supports automatic pingbacks, it's less prone to spam that way.

Post by: TinMan on June 15, 2007, 05:19:04 am: They're not something that shows, your server pings the wp-site, it gets teh hook-up and wp generates a pingback comment.
