The first Curator now spawns with a Broadcast Camera, a normal-sized item that can be wielded to start a live broadcast to all entertainment screens across the Station! It also broadcasts sound through a new Entertainment radio channel that can be spoken into by the Curator. The broadcast name can be changed by right-clicking the camera.
Also adds a new clothing set to the Heroic Beacon of the Curator themed around Journalists containing some unique clothing, a microphone, a Press badge used for shoving into people's faces and crafting more clothes (like Press armor and helmet), and also a set of 1 TV and 1 entertainment radio in-case station does not have places to watch Curator's brilliant broadcasts.
Why It's Good For The Game
The job of Curator has 3 things it can do:
Curate Library (lol)
Explore Space
Create News!
Although the Curator does have extended access to the Newscaster - that's not enough of content. Inspired by the Combat Correspondent from the Colonial Marines server - Curator now has a Broadcast Camera! Using it they can show the station what the most important matters that are going on without lifting the butts of their comfortable chairs.
No matter what Curator will report: Security raiding Medbay? Interviews of Cargo Techs complaining about Command? Maybe even shows produced in a studio? Anything really!
Also, entertainment screens will get more use, as right now they only sometimes broadcast Bitrunning avatars and nothing else unless admins mess with them.
Changelog
