Panda Labs - Streamer Job | Live Streaming Career for DarkRP

Every DarkRP money addon ends up as the same thing: a box in a locked room that pays you for

owning it. The player makes one decision, buy it, and nothing happens after that.

This one pays for being watchable. A player builds a studio out of physical parts, points a

camera at the world and goes live on Bamboo, the streaming platform inside the game. Only what

happens in front of the lens counts. Someone walking through shot builds an audience, a gunfight

builds a bigger one, and a locked basement builds nothing at all.

That is the point: an income that asks the player to go where things happen. Everyone else gets a

phone that is a real streaming site, and a streamer who keeps them watching earns more than one

who does not.

🎥 A Studio You Build

1. Eight custom models: desk, tower, monitor, webcam, boom mic, ring light, the Bamboo Phone and a sponsor prop.
2. Gear physguns onto the desk and snaps into its socket.
3. Three tiers on the camera, tower, light and mic, plus a capture card that raises the audience ceiling.
4. The monitor is a live screen: the channel name, the count, chat and alerts, for anyone walking past.

📡 The Camera Actually Sees

1. A real cone from the lens, with line of sight. Every payout is gated behind it.
2. Fights, deaths, arrests, police and people in shot each have a value you set.
3. Viewers approach a target rather than piling up. Stop being interesting and the audience drains away while you watch.
4. Income arrives as donations: discrete events with an alert and a sound, not a trickle. Subs accrue from lifetime watch time and pay whether or not you are live.
5. The streamer's overlay shows viewers, money a minute, excitement and strike risk.

📱 Everyone Else Has A Phone

1. Browse who is live with live thumbnails, a featured banner and category rows.
2. Open a channel and watch their camera rendered in real time. Up to 24 live channels server-wide.
3. Type in their chat and it appears on the monitor on their desk.
4. Donate and it lands as an alert mid-stream. Follow a channel and get told when it goes live.
5. Ambient chat that scales with the audience, reacts to what happens on camera, and reads in each viewer's own language.

🎬 Clips Are Real Replays

1. Anything big on camera is clipped automatically, and the streamer can clip by hand.
2. A clip records the actual people in the actual positions from the actual camera path, and plays back through clientside models. It is not a screenshot.
3. Three seconds of follow-through after the moment, so the clip contains the thing and not just the run-up.
4. Other players find them on the front page and on the channel page.

🤳 Take It Outside

1. The phone is the streamer's camera too. Cut between desk, phone and crew cameras live, like a switcher.
2. Selfie mode for vlogging with the city behind you, chat still in your hand.
3. Hire up to three players as cameramen. Each earns a cut of every donation, paid only while their camera is the live one. Cameraman is a proper F4 job, but any player can be hired.
4. Two streamers filming each other are collaborating: detected, never negotiated, and both channels get a bigger ceiling for as long as it holds.
5. Raid another channel and hand them your whole audience.

🏆 Follows, Goals and Milestones

1. Set a donation goal and watch it fill on the monitor, the overlay and the channel page.
2. Viewer and sub milestones celebrate on the picture with a burst of chat.
3. Sponsor contracts for channels with enough subs, with a sponsor prop to hold on camera.

🚨 Strikes

1. Anything on your banned list visible on camera while live fills the strike meter.
2. Fill it and the platform cuts the stream and suspends the channel. Three strikes wipes it.
3. Four anti-farming systems keep it honest. On the shipped defaults a basement explosion loop settles at about 0.3% of face value, while a varied street stream keeps around 80%.

🧑 A Streamer Players Make Their Own

1. An included playermodel with six hairstyles in four colours, four eye and skin tones, three outfits, a headset and glasses.
2. `/appearance` opens a turntable menu. The look is saved to the account and comes back every spawn.
3. Server owners set the default look, can lock it, or point the job at their own model instead.

🛡️ Staff Tools

1. `plabs_stream_admin` lists, stops, suspends, renames, mutes and wipes channels, and works on offline SteamIDs, because channels persist and people log off the moment they are reported.
2. Every action is written to the server log with the staff member's name.
3. CAMI-registered, so ULX, ServerGuard and SAM can grant it per rank.

⚙️ Configuration

1. Everything lives in one commented file: `lua/plabs/stream/sh_config.lua`, over 240 settings.
2. One number caps the whole income curve: set `Money.MaxPerMinute` to what your best printer earns and nothing else needs re-deriving.
3. Prices and tiers, viewer ceilings, every excitement event and its value, the anti-farming systems, payout mode, strike rates and your banned list, sponsors, subs, clips, crew cuts, collab bonuses, follows, goals, milestones, chat rates, render resolution and draw distances, both jobs, and every colour the addon draws.
4. Twenty-eight developer hooks.
5. A written setup guide and a full settings reference ship in the folder.

🌍 Eleven Languages

1. English, German, French, Dutch, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Polish, Turkish and Simplified Chinese.
2. Language is per player, not per server. Chat and notifications travel as phrase keys, so a Russian viewer of an English streamer's channel reads the whole thing in Russian.
3. Anything untranslated falls back to English, so a partial translation is safe.
4. Adding your own is a single file.

🧩 DarkRP and Sandbox

1. Two jobs, Content Creator and Cameraman, and every item register themselves into the F4 menu on startup, under a category you name.
2. Also spawnable in sandbox, admin only by default.
3. Works on any map.
4. Runs without DarkRP if you implement two money hooks.
5. No Workshop content packs to subscribe to and no external dependencies. Models, materials and sounds are all in the addon.
