[tv]Fallout 4 Television mod

[MrBrotherBear]

Can someone make a mod that plays youtube videos or a animation of cartoons instead of that stupid screen saver

[firsTraveler]

There's a great FNV mod for a NOVAC apartment that has a Tom & Jerry cartoon. Be great to see it ported to F4.

Would be easier to put the pre-war news anchor on loop. Beats having a stand-by message.

i did just that on my tv.but the file was a picture with a static filter

so i can't put a animated gif the but i shure put a vagina getting penetrated

 

now i'm trying to upload as a mod but can't found the button to do it

i ask if there a tutorial but din't get a answer(about 2 hours ago)

 

the files is in texture/effect/tvanim/PleaseStandByTV01_d.dds

if you got photoshop and the converter it a simple bait and swich

I'd love to embed the stream from my SlingTV service that would be cool then you could watch actual live TV in game!

youtube player is plausible as they exist on many games most specifically gmod

You guys know this is one of the hardest thing to ask for? Trying to make a custom TV channel is 1 thing, but having content streamed into the game engine?

 

The Fallout 4 TV is actually using animated DDS (I believe), which is animated texture. It is cool. Imagine we have animated nude skin, so we can see sweat dripping on the body (that is technically very possible since the game engine supports animated DDS). But receiving stream from an outside source? First, you have to modify the engine to do so, and that means you have to work with not the development tool (used to create content) but the game engine design tool. Then you have to design a video player to playback such video stream, embed it to a TV object in game. The thing is the game engine loads and initialize all resources at the game start up. Now to make it constantly retrieve new resources and recycle old ones, you may have to take it up to Gamebryo developer (the creator of this game engine) because even Bethesda has limited control over this.

All for the ability to watch youtube in game that doesn't want add any real content to the game. Now, if FO4 is one of those Freeium game that relies on ads to drive revenues, then yes, they will pay special care to load ads and play back to you in game, in form of static images or video, in a clever way as if it is part of the game world. But the bad news is... in FO4, the world has been destroyed. And 2nd, they are more likely to make sense to make an ongoing MMORPG (like World of Warcraft kind of game), or an instance based MRPG (Multiplayer RPG) like Diablo.

So while I do fancy having something like a streamed content thru my in game TV .... it will never happen, not unless an FO4 player is an executive member of Gamebryo Inc. But even so, Gamebryo and Bethesda will go through a barrage of legal concerns bringing Youtube into the game.

All good points, I realise streaming into the game is implausible, still a fun idea.

Analog TV is just radio signals and the knowledge to get all the stuff working would likely be available in books and maybe even in the ruins of some old stations. so maybe we could work on a lore friendly wasteland TV station? Maybe it's Diamond City based?

fit a stream in a image......don't know how to do that

but i gave you the path and you can change it to what you want for kitty to titsy all the way trump to the slum

the static is just a filter over the image giving the illusion that it's animate

the only thing animated that i found was that broadcast of the bomb felling (and that is on image spit in the number of frame in the animation(about 16))

Sigh.

 

Okay guys here is something I found on animated .DDS files: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=42664.0

 

You just make a gif-like sequence of stills and play them with an .EFF

 

I've also found forums saying you can batch convert .DDS sequences with existing nvidia or ati tools

 

entirely possible to make animated loops; let the modding begin and the trivial bickering stop
