How to show the player one or more pictures?

[TheNonsenseFactory]

Hi all,

 

I know that you can show a picture as a menu option in a temrinal, but the terminal format has lots of limitations.

 

Is there any other way of showing the player a number of pictures?

 

Thanks,

I'm not sure where you're going with this but the terminal can do several pictures, for instance; the terminal in the VR pod for Tranquility Lane actually shows 4 images displayed to simulate a video, top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right. Posters also use a similar 4-image texture as well as the facial expressions for securitrons in FNV.

Or...you can do pictures the way the ending binks do.

Or...you can simply select a number of pictures from a terminal menu as you suggested.

 

It would help if you explained what you're trying to accomplish.

Hi DizzasterJuice, thanks for stepping up!

 

Yes, I was horribly vague. I apologize, let me fill in some more information.

 

My idea was to create a product catalogue for player house furniture, so the player can see the change before he or she hands over the caps.

 

The more house items you want to have, the more of a hassle the terminal solution becomes. And ideally the solution should be open ended, so that I or someone else can add more items.

 

When you mentioned the ending binks I thought of the G.O.A.T. (which is at the very beginning, funny how the brain works). I wonder how the GOAT is coded - it is both a fullscreen image and dialogue options. Being fullscreen you could put several pictures into one slide, and cut down on total number of slides that way.

Perhaps this might work for your purposes of a catalogue
