YAR

[pagroove]

Don't know if its possible to have a YAR (Your Ad Reader). Sometimes its difficult to read the Your ad boards. The only thing this equipment would do is to show the add if you lock on onto a Your ad Here board. Either in a mission screen or in a mini screen.

The local yobs nicked them all and sold them for scrap so my Ooniverse is ad-free now.
I do remember you had to get very close to read them though, although it was worth doing

Perhaps if they were on the walls inside the station, one could walk right up and take a good look.

That's why I've always tried to make all my Ads, big, single theme logo based ones.

I'm wondering if Thargoid's Welcome Mat could be tweaked (along with YAH) to transmit the Ad into the Comms System as you approach... (checking which of the random ads has been selected might be the trick, then having a corresponding line of text then read from a file and sent to the players console...)

Good idea though - note: the original pizza box Pi-42s from YAH had six ads clearly visible in the docking port. (So, Dr. Nil thought of that!)

[Thargoid]

Should be do-able. If YAH can have a suitable text string available (as a mission variable or whatever) that the WM script can hook into, then we'd be on a winner.

If you can prepare the YAH end of it I'm happy to make a variant of WM that talks to it.

Busy weekend planned (Mrs DaddyHoggy's birthday, 10yr old daughter with a grumbling appendix [not a great combo]), but I will endeavour to investigate soonest!

(It'll be a nice excuse to download Welcome Mat too!)
