Adds a scan line effect to the screen.
Media Players
Media players are screens that can play media from YouTube and SoundCloud, as well as .webm links. They can be found in the Plaza and purchased for Condos.
Features
Media Queue
When a media player is turned on:
- Hold Q to open up the queue.
- Click Add Media and paste a video link into the input bar
- The video will be added to the end of the queue
Players can upvote and downvote videos to push them up or down in the queue, report links using the flag button, and vote skip videos. Reported links, if banned, cannot be played in the Plaza.
Save Playlists
The condo owner can save playlists on individual media players. Playlists save the current video queue, then play it on loop. Playlists persist to future play sessions and are saved in snapshots.
Media Player Admin
Condo owners have the Media Player Admin permission and can give this permission to other players. Media admins can skip and delete videos from the queue, save playlists, and add any link from the internet. Websites cannot be interacted with on media players and most other sites don't sync between visitors, so this functionality is limited.

- The Great Outdoors (beach houses, Oasis)
- Bowling alleys
- Project 12 rooftop bar
