Entertainer Archive

I was thinking about different ideas for adding some revenue for entertainers that wouldn't be overpowering. How about the ability to record your our music(for musicians) or a small holofilm of your dancing(for dancers. :smileyvery-happy then sell the recordings.

The recordings would have some entertainment healing ability(Not as good as live) but at least you can bring a little piece of entertainment on those long journeys into the unknown wastes. Also depending on whatlevel ofexperince you have you can start creating/recording live band sessions(MasterMusician)and for dancing maybe it starts a small holo of dancing then the holo goes to full size holo of the dancer(Master Dancer).

I'm not sure how tough it would be to program this, but in my mind you just have to track the flourishes and the pauses between them on the standard music/dancing styles and a timelimit on recording (Maybe it's 30 sec snippets?). However, I haven't programmed SWG so I don't know how tough this would be. If it's not possible to do this type of programming, maybe we can just have the entertainers created generic items for entertanment healing(ie A holo recording.. double click and you'll pretend to listen to it).

great idea. Make it so you can only listen to the recording once every x mins so people dont just repeate it over and over again and make it signifigantly less potent. But let it work anywhere for a quick pick-me-up. Maybee even make it one time use.

That's a great idea!

Actually, I don't think it'd be all that difficult either, though it could contribute to client processing overhead. The game would basically record the actions you take for X amount of time. It doesn't need to even do that though is the musician created a long string macro of flourishes (I have eight different ones I use, specific to instrument and song, and need to make more ). That macro could be offloaded to the hologram item and when that item is "/used", it would just show a holo of the player character going through the sequence defined in the macro.

hey, that's a good idea...you should post it a couple more times (jk)

Seriously though, it would be cool. The "recording" is a hologram of you, and it's named after you....it would be like selling an album sort of. Make them degrade (of couse) too. This would not only help you earn credits, but also spread your name around. And brilliant use of flourishes in the recording would make it even that much better... Good ideas.

I must say I really like this idea as well. It makes sense also, as a master musician for instance would be likely to make recordings and sell them to top-name record labels, etc.

/sign cause its a great idea!

I like this idea. However, I think the recording would have to have a significantly lower level of effectiveness than a live show, and be limitted to no more than one use (like a stim pack).

Maybe they could have continuously reduced effectiveness. If you use them too many times in a row, they do nothing. So you could carry a couple with you and it'd get you through those long out-door hauls, but if you go too long with just remote entertainment, eventually that gets "stale" and you have to go back to the cantina to get healed up.

Another idea, combining tailor and entertainer professions...publicity Tshirts. Much like signs outside buildings, allow master tailors the ability to make an advert shirt...they all look the same, designwise (colour can of course be changed), but when you hoer the mouse over it, it displays text....like Nabooty Entertainment, or Swann Sultanova: World Tour, or Jeremiah Shakespeare Slept Here...whatever.
