[1.2.244] Maple Radio

[Fiel]

Looks like Maplestory is adding a radio of its own. Included in this 78MB patch file was an 85 minute long MP3. I'm uploading the MP3 to rapidshare as I type this. Of course, with it being from KMST, it's all in Korean, so don't bother downloading unless you understand the language!

Also, with the name of the track being "Aran", I'm sure you can understand the subject matter of the radio for the time being.

Boo, so it is a radio to listen to MapleStory music?

I was hoping to listen to Hannah Montana while training in the future. What a let down. :f4:

Not like I can't already

[Combattente]

Looks interesting..

Would be even more interesting if you could choose the music to listen to..

[Fiel]

It's not Maple music. From what I'm hearing, it sounds more like an interview.

[MasPan]

Hopefully this isn't another MapleTV style failure, can be turned off, and doesn't induce lag.

technically, you can turn maple tv off.

and before anyone jumps to conclusions, its not hacking.

I know, but you can't remove the tv itself, which is more annoying.

[Jared]

I'd laugh hysterically if this was some kind of NPR clone based around in-game lore.

Althoug hilarious, it'd be incredibly badass at the same time.

Her music burns my ears. I still like her though.

B> miley cyrus

That would be cool if it was live, so I wonder how you listen to it. I know theres the UI buttons but where are they? In the corner of your screen? Another UI Window?

Most likely a UI Window.
Putting it on the Screen might clutter the screen up.

[HighOnMushrooms]

Someone should try replacing the MP3 with a song or something.

[modular]

this is a terrible idea. i hope it never makes it out of kmst. music files are huge and to have any kind of decent selection they will have to make the game take up at least another 1gb. your download time will double if you ever have to reinstall. why cant they use a streaming media type of website and just make a radio station there? the way they want to do this is just going to muck up their game.

STUPID IDEA

why not just wait and see how it works what its for and if its just a one time thing that will get removed next patch before calling it a stupid idea

it doesnt matter how it works or what its for, they included a useless 78 mb in the patch file that will only hinder the spread of their game. if they had announced it on the website and provided a link to streaming radio or ANYTHING but including it in the game file, it wouldnt be stupid.

Don't mean to spam, but rather than write out my thoughts, I think I'll just quote my thoughts which accidentally came off this guys keyboard instead of mine.

[KatanaKiwi]

who sais the radio is not part of a quest or something, i could think of tons of fun quest scenario's to do with a piece of spoken text..

Even stupider, because it's easier and quicker to do it by text instead of a sound file. Especially when it gets to the point where other versions get it, they have to translate the words and replicate the tone and everything...

[Sarah]

Plus there are probably deaf/hard-of-hearing players who would be left out. Kinda dumb.

Lol, not the best reason against it. xD Games exclude blind kids. Clearly nexon is just trying to help them out! :(

*walks into a mob of skelegons*

HOW AM I DOING DAD??? I'M KICKING ASS RIGHT???


but really, it's a given that games exclude the blind, unfortunately. They don't exclude deaf people and there's no justification to introduce anything that WOULD exclude them.

[bio9205]

They should make a radio where you could listen to all the Maple BGMs :goggle:

[kwaz]

...85 minute long MP3...

Except Maple can't play pieces of a file, it would have to broken up into separate small mp3s instead.

Would be nice. Have an option to play the radio, which disables the map's BGM choice and simply plays something from your in-game playlist.

[Chuey]

Maybe the interview thing's an experiment. A choice to listen to any Maple BGM would be really nice. But honestly, this feature isn't very beneficial content-wise. Oh boy, BGM selector! We can seriously just use YouTube or open any possible media files we already have with Maple music. Already makes the radio useless. Korean Nexon, start working on Past Victoria some more! :f4: I want Boulder Mountain and such, not a silly radio!

Out with Sounds and BGM then.

[Sarah]

??? I play without sounds and BGM, you don't need to hear them. All of this is referring the person talking about voiced quests; which you WOULD need to hear in order to complete the quests.

[MrFry]

My Mistake!

[Saar331]

Actually im with katanakiwi.
It would be nice to do quests with voice needed to hear idk things like that,and sarah is also right,so ill recommend putting subtitles in the middle of the screen when a voice/radio effect comes up.
and also maple can use this for ads.... not a good idea...but moneymakers..
and wud be cool to hear NXJoe talking and saying:Everyone head to orbis gm event... etc.

Sucks to be those damn deaf kids then.
Seriously.

This MR needs to be a jukebox with customizable tunes. :)

[mazefind]

traslatation is... someone will do it:f7:

[iSiCoi]

You know, it would be pretty cool if they had something like a radio. With a GM as a DJ or something. Wouldn't mind things like, "6th whisperer recieves a prize!" :f3:
