[VIVΛ HH] KЯΛVΛTIΞ Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Suggestion Name: TFM Requests Suggestion Description: Seen as TFM is popular with MP there should be a way to request music from ingame or do traffic reports and put like a timer on so it doesnt get spammed Any example images: Why should it be added?: it makes sense and people currently have to alt tab if they want a certain song on i dunno it was just a good idea No electrons were harmed during the creation, transmission or reading of this posting. However, many were excited and some may have enjoyed the experience https://discord.gg/jgJ326p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingaJord Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 That's why we have a request button on the app @Kravatie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Barto Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 You can also Shift+Tab and use steam overlay to make a request on TFM. Retired Team Member // Report // Ban appeal // Ingame rules // Support // Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I personally would reject this... As it is un-official and no needed. People like to complain when new things are added... and there are other stations in the community that would want added to the game. That then will end in hostility. -1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Technically, it's very possible, tfm already have an "API" available to take in requests from external sources, but it would more then likely just end in spam. Although I like the idea, realistically it's probably not a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aestrial Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 And what about all the other community radios? Its just going to cause arguments and unnecessary hostility between radios and the team. You allow one radio this, others will want the same thing. Plus, you have the Shift+Tab overlay, you have the app. And alt-tabbing will take you less than a minute. This will appeal to 'lazy' people, who don't want to spend less than a minute alt-tabbing to send in a request. I'm sure its possible, but its not really needed in my opinion, so a -1 from me. 1 Aestrial | Former Game and Community Manager Are you banned? - Report a player - Help - Global rules - Staff recruitment - Complaints/feedback No existe gran talento sin gran voluntad.

krypto_one Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 whats the point -1 truckers.fm people that do the requests arent even in game mostly been here for 1 year+ creator of would you rather owner of ats and ets2 RANK: VETERAN II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Truckers.FM Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 It's a fun idea, and it would be cool if it could be a command via the text chat. e.g /r tfm sam smith money on my mind for james although not essential, it is a handy idea. this is a 100% unbiased post. kappa. 1 Community Manager at SCS Software & Truckers.FM Founder.

Guest Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I don't think traffic reports would work as the mp is so dynamic. It's hard to drive and type at the same time as you can lose control so you'd need to request the song by stopping regardless. So it won't be hard to shift tab to the overlay and request from there or to alt tab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sko0923 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I would rather see an integrated method of traffic reports in the app, sort of like in the real world, where you would get a map and all of the sightings plotted on the map. Vehicle on shoulder, traffic, accident, admin, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I Actually agree with krav on this one, i remember back when TSR Used to be quite popular, and that had adverts ingame etc, but now none of the readios have that and it might be better because it might be noticed more by people in other countries.

StuartD Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Why just TFM?, it's just one of the many different radios, I don't think this should be added. STVTC Founder & Management / TruckNet Developer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caricature Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 nice idea. but I'll go with what some others said on this one.. many other ways to request a song. the usage of my phone makes things very user-friendly as well. plus if this is added, i'm sure many users who listen to other stations that give them the opportunity to request songs will be wanting this feature for their own station as well.

Fezz Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I think adding this into the game would be uneeded, best sticking with a phone or using the overlay to request songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fidget3306 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 I think that there is no need, for another way to do requests. However I like the idea of traffic reports. I would suggest this to TFM, however it would mean that they would have to have someone using free cam. As a side note can I please ask that people read other user comments. The person who made the suggestion do not need to be told the same thing over and over again.
