Inspired by the thread "Voice stuff", why not allow wiremodders to stream a video feed and display it on a wire screen?
Ideas for the supported stream sources include:
for clients:
* Your our webcam
* Some pre-recorded stream, e.g. a .wmv .mpg off your harddisk
Practicality says that this will almost not work due to the bandwidth requirements, but i can dream damn it!
for server-side:
* Some feed that is distributed from the server, this will probably have the same issues as the "client-side" stuff
And now for the mild ingeniousnesses:
* Stream crap from places like YouTube; this way the stream is independent of the server and mostly of the client. In theory this would just be like a "plugin" for a browser.
Of course the only practical application i can currently see for this is turning the multi-coloured room in gm_construct in to peep show booths for streaming stuff off pr0ntube.com, but surely this is justification alone to have some write the addon/DLL/get garry to completely re-code GM10?
