When our friends come to visit our hangar, will they have to download the music we are playing on our jukebox, or will it be stored elsewhere so they can hear it instantly?asked by Furious
TL;DRThe jukebox plays from local drives so visitors probably won't hear your music, it likely isn't synced over the network now or in the first social module version, and he'll check.
That is a very good question. Based on what I know of our jukebox functionality, it basically plays music off of your local hard drive, so unless your friends have the same music you have, they probably obviously aren't going to hear the music you're playing in your hangar. I actually don't know the specific implementation for that, I just know that the idea with it was to search your hard drive and pull out your music and then play it. Potentially, you would have to make sure you all have the same music and then also, I'm not sure if that aspect is being serialized over the network. As in, it may just be a local thing that you play locally and when someone else has entered your hangar they may not know what music is playing in it. I am actually going to check on that one because that's one of those details that probably no one thought of but you do need to sync that over the network if it's going to work properly. My guess is that right now, it won't. It probably won't be in the first version of the social module if it isn't working that way right now, but it would be pretty trivial to do in a further drop.
