## About The Pull Request
You can order a broadcast camera (the thing the curator can get which
lets them livestream to entertainment screens) in cargo for 800 credits
The cargo version has a smaller view range (4 tiles instead of 7 tiles)
and slows you down slightly
## Why It's Good For The Game
There's a lot of opportunities for gimmicks in being able to broadcast
to the station
Like if you're an antag and want to prove you have a hostage, or you
want to make rival news broadcasts, or you're a clown who livestreams
breaking into security, etc
Access to the ability to broadcast is very very limited (to a single
curator kit). If you wanna do any of the above you have to either play
curator and dedicate your entire round to it, ask the curator for
*their* gimmick item, or if there's no curator and you didn't roll it
you just can't do it at all. (And god forbid if someone steals the
camera or you lose it)
I think it's kinda sad so I wanted to add another way to obtain the
ability to broadcast and I figure cargo is a good place. It's lower
quality because I'm very wary of people robbing the curator of their
gimmick - The curator's camera is top of the line and that's what
differentiates it from the pleb's stuff.
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert
add: You can purchase (lower quality) broadcast cameras in cargo for
800cr

## About The Pull Request
On all maps, the captain will find a brand new green screen and camera
set up in their quarters
This is used to cast the captain's (or anyone's who breaks in) face to
all status displays across the station
(It will also relay your voice to them)
NOTE: Some maps have a stunning lack of evac displays
Noticeably **Wawa** has like 10. So these will be less effective on
those maps.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Gives Captains a more personable way of addressing the crew for
impromptu announcements rather than resorting to the announcement
computer.
Also opens up shenanigans.
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert, Wallem
add: Adds recording setups to the Captain's office on all maps, allowing
them to project their face to all status displays on the station
add: Centcom now has a soundstage for broadcasting to the station. It's
besides the Thunderdome.

## About The Pull Request
Moved all the icon_state setting logic of the broadcast camera to
`update_icon_state`, rather than setting it manually on (de)activation,
and resetting it to inactive in `update_icon_state`
## Why It's Good For The Game
Makes things more consistent.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Made the broadcast camera's sprite more consistent, it hopefully
shouldn't reset to the inactive sprite while recording in some weird
scenarios now.

This folder is so disorganized that it's vomit inducing, will make it
easier to find and add new sounds, providng a minor structure to the
sound folder.

## About Pull Request
You don't need two hands to stream with broadcast camera. Insteed you
need just click on camera to start streaming and click again to finish.
## Why It's Good For The Game
It’s very inconvenient when camera takes two hands and to take something
you need to turn off the stream because the stream only works when the
camera is in two hands.
## Changelog
🆑
qol: You don't need two hands to stream with broadcast camera.

## About The Pull Request
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.

</details>
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
🆑 DrDiasyl aka DrTuxedo
add: Curator has received a new BROADCAST CAMERA which can broadcast the
surroundings LIVE on Entertainment Screens/ Alongside with some other
Journalism related gear in his Heroic Beacon
sound: Entertainment screens now play muffled speech when hearing a
message on Entertainment frequency
