Wiremod input and outputs

This list below will tell you about the functionalities of the Wiremod input and outputs of the radio entity. Keep in mind that it is not a tutorial, so it requires some of knowledge of Wiremod in general. If you are new to Wiremod, you should become familiar with the basic mechanics of Wiremod first. I also recommend to know some stuff about E2 as well.

Wiremod download:

• http://www.wiremod.com/
• GitHub[github.com]
• Workshop

Inputs:

• Play [NORMAL]

  • Plays a stream when on 1 or greater else stop playing.

• Pause [NORMAL]

  • Pauses the stream when on 1 or greater else resume.

• Volume [NORMAL]

  • Set the Volume.
  • Takes 0-1.

• Radius [NORMAL]

  • Sets the maximum distance of being audible.
  • Takes 0-5000.

• Loop [NORMAL]

  • Makes the stream loop on 1 or greater when it's not an endless stream.

• Time [NORMAL]

  • Sets the playback time position to the given value in seconds.

• 3D Sound [NORMAL]

  • Enable 3D sound on 1 or greater. It's on by default.

• Stream URL [STRING]

  • Set's the wire stream, press the wire icon or use the play input to play it.
  • It's an URL. See FAQ for more details.

• Master Radio [ENTITY] (For synchronizing radios)

  • Set the master radio entity to synchronize from.
  • See section "Connecting radios together".

Outputs:

• Play [NORMAL]

  • Returns 1 when in playing mode or 0 when not.

• Pause [NORMAL]

  • Returns 1 when in pause mode or 0 when not.

• Stopped [NORMAL]

  • Returns 1 when in stop mode or 0 when not.

• Volume [NORMAL]

  • Returns its volume, it goes from 0 to 1.

• Radius [NORMAL]

  • Returns its maximum distance of being audible.
  • Gives 0-5000.

• Loop [NORMAL]

  • Returns 1 when the stream is looping.

• Time [NORMAL]

  • Returns the playback time position as seconds.

• Length [NORMAL]

  • Returns the stream length as seconds.
  • A value of -1 means endless stream.

• Ended [NORMAL]

  • Returns 1 when the stream has ended.

• 3D Sound [NORMAL]

  • Returns 1 when the 3D sound is on.

• Stream Name [STRING]

  • Returns the name of the stream.

• Stream URL [STRING]

  • Returns the URL of the stream.

• Stream Error [NORMAL]

  • Returns the error code for the server side stream.
  • Returns 500 if Advanced Outputs are disabled.

• Stream Error Text [STRING]

  • Returns the error as a string.
  • Returns "Advanced outputs are disabled" if Advanced Outputs are disabled.

• This Radio [ENTITY] (For synchronizing radios)

  • Returns the radio entity for synchronizing.
  • See section "Connecting radios together".

• Advanced Outputs [NORMAL]

  • It returns 1 if you can use the outputs below (called "Advanced Outputs"), otherwise returns 0.
  • Only active when enabled via the Streamradio tool.
  • It will be always off when gm_bass3 is not installed on the server.
  • It is off when the count of radios with advanced outputs enabled exceed the ConVar "sv_streamradio_max_spectrums".

Wirelink

The radio entity supports Wirelinks, including the entity:wirelink() function in E2.

Connecting radios together

You can connect radios (and so speakers as well) to other radios/speakers by using the "Master Radio" input.

Usage:

• Connect "Master Radio" to "This Radio", no need for additional connections.
• Connections can be done via a gateway like as an E2 as well. Wiremod mechanics apply.
• While it is synchronizing its states are always set as same as the master states
• While it is synchronizing you can not change the stream nor change its playing state manually or via Wiremod.
• Disconnect this input to disable synchronization again.
• Connecting a non-radio or an invalid entity disables the synchronization.
• Creating a cycle or a connection to itself disables the synchronization for all involved radios.
• The volume, radius and 3D sound are not synchronized by intention and can still be changed.

Gm_bass3:

It is an optional binary module for server (Advanced Wiremod Outputs) and client. https://github.com/Grocel/GMod_Modules/tree/master/gm_bass3
