Move Media player settings to the F4 menu

[Brian-Limmon]

Name: Brian Limmond

RP Rank: MSG

Suggestion: Move the media player settings to being a set of options always able to be changed in the F4 menu rather than just when looking at a media player, make media players play for everyone once they start instead of people having to press E on wherever it is.

Implementation: This would make setting up music for an event much easier and more accessible to players, often times if a player joins late, isn't familiar with how they work yet, or for any other reason isn't able to interact with the media player, they don't get to experience the music in an event. If it were changed so that media players will be heard regardless of whether or not you press E on them, and that this is toggleable in the F4 menu (along with the volume) more players would get to hear the music in events and it would be easier for GMs to set up on the fly.

Also to be clear, I don't mean all the media player settings should be moved to the F4 menu, just the ones that players in the event have to change (Turning them on/off and changing the volume), the rest that are controled by the GM can stay with the actual media player itself (adding new tracks, skipping tracks, etc.)

Lore: N/A

Workshop content if applicable: Requires development

Huge +1 media player would be 100% more effective and people can adjust it mid event if its too quite or too loud.

+1, however curious how something like the above will effect people not on the 64 bit client. Since we're basically forcing the media player to be on at all times on the event server for all players will players that aren't on the right version be able to connect? just something to think about hopefully it works.

I'd imagine it just wouldn't play still, since that's what happens on other servers with their media player functioning in this way
