Music that has a location

Most music scripts play a track to everyone in range at the same volume. In the Spatial Speaker System from Rahe Development, sound behaves as it does in the real world. Players hear the same track differently depending on whether they are close to the speakers, far from them or have their back turned.

Four events it was made for

A house party. One boombox in the living room, loud inside and faint from the street.

A beach festival or a wedding. Speakers synced into a group. Bass heavy ones at the front of the stage, balanced ones around the crowd.

A car meet. Speakers synced across every vehicle in the convoy, so everyone hears the same song at the same moment.

A cruise with friends. A speaker attached to the car, hidden or shown as a visible model placed with the gizmo. The music goes where the car goes.

Speakers

• Carry one on your character or attach one to a vehicle.
• Queue songs and browse the music history.
• Place permanent and public speakers, with logging switched on.
• Move permanent speakers with the gizmo.

Speaker types

Add new models in the config or create new types in game. Each has its own maximum range, filters and volume. A basic boombox carries a short distance. A large club speaker can cover a plaza. A built in shop lets players buy them.

Filters

Each speaker can have filters applied, such as lowpass, highshelf and bandpass. Push the bass for a concert or sharpen the treble for vocals.

Tested in production

The creator runs this script on their own roleplay server. Tens of thousands of unique songs have been played through it, and every release is tested by hundreds of players for weeks before it is published.
