Callighan Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Cakester, browsing the wiki while playing is a neat idea. It saves the hassle of alt-tabbing for a lot of players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britanol Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Even if you don't feel up to making it directly access the internet, I know an alternative way of getting it on there, like I suppose you could make another separate Terminal called PipTunes in another branch of Moira's store. You would pay her 500-5000 caps to gain access to the room, and when you activate the terminal you could click on the name of the song, then it would activate a safe on a wall and unlock it. Then you could walk up, activate it, and take the holotape labeled (example) "Viva la Vida" or something. I'm pretty sure this wouldn't be illegal because you need to be on the game. Or you could take songs like from the 50's that are in.. what's it called? Free Space? Free Market? I can't remember it right now, but I know you could take some of the songs from that GNR- More Where that came from mod. Or you could set up small playlists, and there would be a note in the same safe as the Holotape and you could find out what songs were on it. Or you could view it from the PipTunes terminal. Maybe you could make it where the Terminal downloads it to your pipboy, or you could use the things from Mothership Zeta, where you get the Captive recordings, and label the song name. Due to the Fallout 3 wiki, you could make the separate areas on the site separate links on the terminal for example: FALLOUT 3 SURVIVAL GUIDE -> OVERVIEW -> FALLOUT 3 FAQ On the site Fallout 3 Survival Guide is really just the Fallout 3 section. I can't use the GECK for my life, so I hope, no I know you can do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HugePinball Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I would say try to make a terminal that lets you actually surf the internet. I know there was an add-on for WAR that let you open web browsers, and I used the same thing with WoW. It shouldn't be too hard, but then again I'm not much for mods.Ooh! If you try that, look at the Lynx browser. Or better yet, look at the source code of this Lynx emulator. I've allowed that viewer to be used to view any fookunity.com pages, so you can see what pages would look like in Lynx - would be a good starting point if you actually wanted to try to view parts of web pages on an in-game terminal :) BTW, I'm pretty good with perl if you wanna do something similar - perl is perfect for text processing.

Brianide Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 also i got it working in terminals now:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q97qdQtLZ0EIs your external program directly altering the terminal text, or is there some way you're doing that via script? Impressive, either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cakester Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 also i got it working in terminals now:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q97qdQtLZ0EIs your external program directly altering the terminal text, or is there some way you're doing that via script? Impressive, either way. it is directly overwriting the text by writing over where it is stored in memory using writeprocessmemory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made it so i can display my form as part of the game.. well sorta. anyhow i can send messages to irc now.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ypNsXIejTk @Britanol that is an interesting idea... however I am not in the business of making mods at that level. um.. i have even though of an ingame live concert appearing for the first launch of fallout 3 multiplayer. but thats just a dream for now.. lols Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Britanol Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 That's really cool! You've been working hard, and I like how you're using the security terminals for the Netboy. It seems fitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
