"planned" and "being made" are two different things

Some jukebox code is in SDK, but I haven't seen any actual work being done to put it into 2238, not
over the last year at least. It would be hard to find music from the 50s that wouldn't breach copyrights.

Lexx:
There is a lot free 50s music, actually. But I wouldn't put it into the client, because it's going to be growing in size very, very fast then.

then why don't you make them server side?

Lexx:
Because we don't have a jukebox and because it would be even worse.


The only thing I can see working is a jukebox with scripts and such in the game and the music being an optional part, where players can decide if they want to install it or not. But that isn't solving all issues yet. If I remember correct, there were problems with sound / music range back in the days - there just is (or was at that point, no idea if it changed by now) no music range in the engine. That means, if one player starts a song, everyone in the map would hear it. There would be a few workarounds for it, but pretty ugly ones.

Would be cool to have music in bars, but yeah... the above issues need to be adressed first.
