[Videos of the Wasteland] How does the Projector work

[Zorkaz]

In "Videos of the Wasteland" I saw people using the projector at theoutdoor cinema settlement (Forgot the name) to show real movies.

 

But does VOTW support building your custom projector at any settlement or does there need to be something preinstalled in a mod?

 

Reason:

I thought about creating a custom cinema in the downtown area but without requiring VOTW as a base

in the nif of the screen, meshes of the plane, of which 5 reproduce texture animation with uv displacement from 5 textures 2k, 4k, 8k with frames of 128, 256, 512 pixels. For your animation, you need to manually fill in these frames, in Photoshop, or another editor, like animation of a cartoon.

As South8028 said, it is sprite animations using UVs

 

The author of Videos of the Wasteland author made a tutorial about the workflow here

I tried to follow it, but I experienced some problems with FFmpeg or something back then. It was not important so I never completed the tutorial :wink: I guess there are other encoder tools that can be used too.

@Zorkaz Look into GIF2NIF.

Thx. Though I wasn't planning on adding videos. Rather if it's possible for other users to install a projector themselves using workshop mode

with my knowledge of English, these YouTube tutorials could be in Chinese just as well.

I installed ffmpeg, imagemagic, but got to votw batch scripts, and did not understand where to download it from.

I don't know of any other similar solutions. Even in other games with dds animation this is a problem. Everyone is hammering these texture animations manually into Photoshop, which is why I hate texture animation. If this method works for me with ffmpeg I will be happy.
