The server will be up tomorrow, Sunday, at around 7 or PM EST! I might drop off for a bit after this week though.

>How did GTA IV-V do the Theatre stuff?
Do those have YouTube/internet cinemas? I've not played the multiplayer modules for either, so I couldn't say. What the server uses though is CEF, which creates a unique localized browser instance drawn every second on the client for each player when they enter the cinema. If the way I've described it makes sense, you might notice something wrong with that sentence. If each player has a unique local instance of a certain website drawn on their own individual client, how is it synced to everyone? The answer is, it isn't. Rather it's actually some trickery to create the illusion of sync. YouTube has the convenient ability for a URL to be made to link to any point in a video. Every time a video is linked in the cinema, a timer is started on the server. When you enter the cinema interior, the time kept by the server is appended to the YouTube URL pulled by your client, which creates the illusion of a synchronized video playing for everyone. This is why when an ad plays it'll fall out of time, but reentering fixes it. You can jury rig methods for other websites to create this illusion as well, though.

There's also the issue of pop-ups and other intrusions that need to be clicked to remove them, or actually even see the video as you can't do so manually due to the way the video is rendered. These issues are only present for some. Sadly as each rendered instance is unique it's very difficult for me to probe potential solutions as I can't test it myself. All in all it's not an easy challenge to tackle, most things relating to CEF aren't. It's probably my least favorite thing to work with due to the inherent nature of it.

Nope. He's gone for good.
