umaros Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Currently, all of the televisions just show the Please Stand By message, which makes having a tv in a house rather pointless. I recently saw a mod on Nexus that replaces that screen with other versions of PSB, so changing the picture is possible already. I would love to see mods replace the static image with something more interesting, and eventually include actual video and sound if possible.
Miarc007 Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 I think it is possible because if you remember during the pre-war setting the TV was playing not only advertisements but broadcasted the news of the bombs dropping. The first video was pretty much a real video of the fat-man catapult the second (the news Broadcasted) looked like a CGI clip they made in the game and recorded to be played back. Which means if you can find the format these two videos are in and the method they are called, it would be pretty simple to have fully fledged shows on the TV's.
BoozeJunky Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 I'd love to put a full, or partial, Twilight Zone episode in the game. Time Enough At Last, I'm thinking. Maybe some Three Stooges. Would definitely have to wait until the GECK, but maybe make the TV an activator with a script that remembered how many times you'd activated it so that it can cycle through enabling and disabling multiple TV sets so that you can change channels. Dunno if you could get something like that to work with settlements, but or traditionally built player housing - it should be easy enough.
Z0mBieP00Nani Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Hey, if it is possible to get the TV working again, it could leave open the possibility for other mods, maybe quests for a waste land TV network. A mod that maybe had the player character go on quests to find some X rated holo-tapes, or shoot a porn or something for a new TV network could be a possibility. IF it's not too hard to get something like that working...
Stevierage Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 The Televisions use .dds textures and are small tiled shots repeating over again. I did do something for laugh: Prewar TV was great , Nora found Nate's porn stash (had posted the first GiF here)

PrewarNewsAnchor.jpg I did do something for laugh: Prewar TV was great , Nora found Nate's porn stash (had posted the first GiF here) Thats a shame You could just do.... .GIF animation pictures right? Then just add the audio in some other way? It should be very easily done because gif pictures are somewhat like regular pics, but with a bit of animation to them, so I'd have to believe somebody is capable of doing this, even with the picture frames as well. (not realistic for picture frames, but yeah cool though.) If someone tries this and it actually works, I'd have to say what else would you be able to do if you can make a really advanced gif image and then apply that to unique armor styles? Just speculating is all, but I've seen this before where it's said adding videos would be technically impossible, but then again maybe there could be a small work around. Nothing perfect, but hey it's worth a shot.

PrewarNewsAnchor.jpg I did do something for laugh: Prewar TV was great , Nora found Nate's porn stash (had posted the first GiF here) Well first off didn't realize you already knew about the gif feature, but wow seeing the picture of how the standard tv video was put into the game wow.. I would've hated doing it that way.
NismoMan Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 If previous creation kits / gecks are anything to go by, it could very well be possible to assign a sound emitter to the TV set where it would loop on forever (or mute it upon interaction?), as for the animated videos within, that's a different story all together. I remember back in FNV, there was a home mode that utilized animated images that played in sequence to convey a somewhat gif like videos, it was awesome back then, I did a couple of porno animations and had them loop on screens while everyone was enjoying an orgy... good ol' days (it was an apartment on Freeside if I remember correctly, really nice interactive home mod). Anyhow, another trick you could do is loop the pics while in game and play a video on activation, like you approach a tv and you can interact with it to watch, it'll have to play the video in full screen (ie. most likely the same format the intro's are made with). Knowing Bethesda's creation kits, playing a video in real time would most likely suck the life out of the game's performance, the question would be; is it worth it?.
Z0mBieP00Nani Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 I remember playing the game Darkness (the first one) and in that game they had TVs you could interact with that would actually play full length movies (To Kill a Mocking Bird, as an example), or music videos. Any idea how it was done for that game?
sigiel Posted May 4, 2016 Posted May 4, 2016 hi, just a quick post to resurect this thread and give it a new view point... nexusmods : 11448 (i can't post link sorry) anyway i was just thinking of the use for the driving cinema ( scale the tv set or something... hiding it behind concret ect...) may be create a quest to find different tape .... 5min holo tape.... with sound too... "Videos of the Wasteland"

"Videos of the Wasteland" Videos of the Wasteland There you go. OK. So I guess someone could figure it out and just build on what Razorwire did or come up with their own version. I dunno It's a neat idea.

TheCaptn Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 I'm still quietly hoping that we can eventually get SWF television instead of DDS, but I haven't seen it discussed yet since the CK released... My thinking goes like this (and someone more experienced can correct me if I'm wrong): the pipboy SWF files are played on ingame geometry, you can even move the pipboy around as they play, so they're probably not just a static UI element... I really hope that some clever cookie can figure out how to make the TV screen geometry play them in the same way. And when they've figured that out maybe they can do something with the projectors too...

Kit Kitten Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 Well there is the Videos of the Wasteland mod that adds sort of a framework for switching the TV images. It still uses the vanilla method of displaying the footage though.

"Videos of the Wasteland" Sadly, the VotW modder has moved on after creating only 3 movie reels for the Starlight Drive-in, so it will be up to other modders to create content. I thought I had found something here but can't locate it now. Just to inform, the holo tape versions for TV aren't compatible with the movie reel versions. I believe it's a resolution issue?
eviljanitor Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 NismoMan Has already done 3 adult music videos based off Videos of the wasteland. Its in NismoMan's Adult Texture Replacer Project (Now with PM Videos for your TV! in the download section on this site.
Subboyty Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 Tbh, I would love for someone to animate the stories of herbert daring dashwood and to place it on the tv for us to be able to watch while hearing it! It would be fun if also there can be more characters with a show of their own.
