.KeLFOuTO!r. Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I was thinking about something to encourage/increase donations and reach 2015 goal.For any donation of XX$ and above (amount to be determined by upper++), the donator/player can choose a song (or among a list of available songs).And everytime he connects to his fav server, the beginning of the song would be playing as a welcome song for a few seconds.Maybe technically complicated, I don't know. But back a few years ago, our leader in .BE clan did this and it was very successfull and enjoyed by everyone. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leader RedBaird Posted November 3, 2015 Leader Share Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) DD was working on this for the VIP-program (Gold & Platinum) here, but those of us helping him to extract the audio from YouTube, etc, and edit them down to "time allotted" kind of drifted away from it, like me. I think that the VIPs were limited to personal entrance sound on their favorite server. Pinoy's on Jay3 used to startle me each time that he joined. I think that DD would have to stop the server, upload the new VIP-soundpak to the server file-set and restart the server on a regular basis. He would also have to remove the sounds for the ex-VIPs who didn't renew. I also think that he would like to have the problem of having so many VIPs that the sound-pak got too big. I wonder if he could have two VIP sound-paks, a stable one for the long-term VIPs and a more volatile one for the new VIPs and those who have only renewed once. If you look here: Downloads → Sounds , it seems that several of us worked on that project just over two years ago. In "Fearless Assassins → PC Gaming - Discussion → Enemy Territory Discussion → ET Sounds" DD pinned a topic : Welcome to new section of ET Sound pack!! People post a link to an outside sound source and whoever works on extracting and optimizing the sound file uploads it to the Downloads→Sounds section and puts a link the downloadable file back into the source-post.This whole thing is also a service to the Readers of the FA site. They can download whatever files that they want to. Hmmm, I think that I will download some of the files and hook my doorbell up to a sound system and play sounds for the Trick-or-treaters next Halloween.

I remember Pinoy connecting on jay3 with such a thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aniky Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Loooove the idea. Dunno how complicated would it be though! Not at all, u attach a sound wav file to specific level, lets say that those donors would have specific level and at that level u would simply add that wav file to play when they connect at server. We used that back at past on our jaymod server when leader or co-leader connected on server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.KeLFOuTO!r. Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 Ok, there are similar things already existing. Maybe a "repackaging into a new and sexy package" could enable a booster in donations... Just saying... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
