gaming Anarchy Arcade

[Adachi 772]

Anyone ever hear of this? Basically, it's a hl2 mod that allows players to create their own 3d desktop. Any file on your computer can be spawned into 3d maps as an interactable object. For instance, let's say you have some roms and an emulator. You can create arcade cabinets, Steamboxes, PC kiosks, etc to represent each of the roms, and if available, it will even automatically apply the proper artwork to each cabinet you spawn. And if it can't find the artwork, you can still look it up and apply it to your cabinet, or customize it any way you want. You could also put a Youtube music video on a wall as a wall mounted HDTV, or even as a gigantic IMAX screen (although none of the default maps have walls big enough for it I think). You can also take models from any source game if you are familiar with adding custom objects to Garry's Mod, easiest way is by going to Gamebanana or to the Garry's Mod website (Garry's Mod website downloads require a legal copy of Garry's Mod on Steam though). So your arcade can have pretty much anything you could ever want

 

It also has multiplayer, so I propose that somepony make an official Poniverse arcade for all Bronies to enjoy. The only problem I can forsee is finding a way to keep people from spawning in objects, but I think they might have fixed it by now to make it so only the host can spawn objects. If needed, I can be the hosting pony, although I guess it would be preferable to have one of the actual staff host it (plus, my computer is great, but not all that modern and only 4g ram).

That sounds amazing! I actully thought the kind of the same thing, what if we can use this to host in game bronie mettups. Like people can show their art on the wall and you could have cabinets to check your mlpforums acount. Of course the most cool thing had been to fix so you can whatch mlp episodes on big screens.

Yeah, and can you imagine if we can use custom skins and can play as our OCs? That would be awesome! /)^3^(\

Okay so I did some research on this and everything seemse to work, I was able to stream my own youtube movies and was able to set up a server really easy. I'm thinking about having a test meeting in the weekend. I just most check that others can log in with just a steam acount and the game. The only thing I have not been able to is change my skin,but I'm sure there is some way.
