MasterGunner124 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Is there a mod out yet that willlet you add more then one real to the Projector at the Starlight Drive-in? Since the reals can not be longer then 8 Grids = 03:24.8. The TV and Projector have can be made 24 Grids = 10:14.4Or is anyone working on a nif file for the Drive - In projector that will do 24 Grids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGreatWeight Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 I've never come across a mod that attempts to increase the film reel length to match the holotape length, one reason likely being the tedium involved in creating the additional .nif files it would require. However, the main reason why Videos of the Wasteland doesn't allow film reels to be longer than 3-ish minutes (or for the film reels to loop) are due to severe performance issues (due to game engine limitations) it would cause by loading all the 4k textures that are used; VotW loads all the texture files (for the film reel) into memory all at the same time - having more than the default loaded in had the potential to cause a major impact on in-game performance, especially for users of lower-specced hardware. This would end up with the video and audio desyncing relatively fast. Similarly, we found that looping the film reel playing also caused performance issues due to the way all textures are loaded at the same time by VotW, and the way that the game engine handles textures in memory. Reducing the texture size from 4k to 2k for the film reels wasn't a solution either, as they'd end up looking reallly bad on such a large display (4k already looks blurry as it is, and 8k was always out of the question) For the sake of maximum stability for the largest number of users, we dropped any plans to ever add this function. Also, we didn't want to include it as it would obviously bring with it a flurry of bug-reports and comments complaining about the impact on game performance. Why knowingly add a function that could screw the game up for many users? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
