DESCRIPTION:
Television has come to fallout, video that plays on an actual TV Screen.
It uses a key framed UV method, but what Ive done here is on a mass scale, in an attempt
to standardize it. Hopefully the modding community will be able to expanded upon the video content,
since its highly modular.

Version 1.0 of the Video Creation Tutorial is in the files section, includes template files.
Make SURE your '.Net Framework' is up to date. Grab it Here:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/0/e/20e90413-712f-438c-988e-fdaa79a8ac3d/dotnetfx35.exe

THE SPECS:
-0 to 5 minutes of video playback using 4k image sizes, cycling through 6440 keyframes.
-8k is possible for 2x Res but adds 4x the Filesize. 8k is Not viable for longer play time.
-Completely Modular, supports user made add-ons.

DISCLAIMER:
Ive decided to see about letting select modders use this, however I still reserve the right say No,
or to ask to have it removed if proper credits are not given/forgotten about/mysteriously disappear after a while.

REQUIRES:
FOSE 1.2

HOW IT WORKS:
If your familiar with any of my prior portable mods, then you'll be right as rain.
Buy a TV (comes with a tape player)
-Drop the TV
-Activate the TV to set it up
-Activate the TV to turn on OR activate the tape player and drop in a tape, then activate the TV
-Activate the TV to turn it Off
-Grab+Activate the TV at any time to pick it up, including whatever tape you have loaded.


LOAD ORDER: Load the esm high, the esp low.


UPDATES:
Version 1.4
-Many Tweaks, Split the Core & Video Content into different files.
-Silent Video Collection, I like some of the old classics, most are set to stock music.


BUGS:
None that I know of. Lower end machines may not show the overlay alpha Correctly?


THANKS GO OUT TO:
-Bethesda for making such a highly inspirational, highly moddable product.
-The creators of Fose.
-The people who made the Civ4 Exporter Plugin.
-Every one who's shared information that helped me work out the nifskope quirks on all the various forums and
documentation sites, this stuff is invaluable.

Looks interesting, what animations are included with it currently?

Currently just the Ron Pearlman intro speech split into 2 parts.
Might do the B.O.S portion later as part of the tutorial.

Edit: file just finished uploading.

I'd love to see the Fallout 2 leaving the Vault video in this! ^_^ It'd be an awesome tape to find!

This looks amazing! You've got some really sweet gadget mods out there, and this one is the top layer, frosting, and cherry all in one. Wicked good!

Ive thought about doing some old FO vids
maybe under a diff psudonym so i dont get in trouble... (should have probably kept that to myself....)

I run Fallout 3 on "low" quality textures, due to my laptop having problems if I go higher, does this effect the quality of the video?

Nice. Reminds me of the proof of concept mod someone made for Doom 3, where you could play classic doom on a computer in Doom3.

Now you need to expand Galaxy News Radio to also broadcast 50's comedy series

It's actually very smooth! It plays well, the sound stays in sync, and I like how it'll loop the video until you change it. Now all it needs is more videos to watch and we'd be set.

This is sure as hell cool!

Love the Idea and love the mod. Can already see all the cool tapes that can be found or collected. Ohh all the sweet stuff!

Kudos mate!

Great idea

@ razorwire:
Just thought you should know that in testing the mod, I keep getting misc items collecting in my inventory called "video static" when turning off the tv with no tape inserted.

This is exellent :goodjob:

Now to get some vintage popeye, little rascals and howdy doody showing on the tube

Thanks, found this one earlier. Should be fixed up now. New versions on the way up. I'll get to work on a Tut next.

Edit: i dont think it would no

I know this is probably an odd request, but can anyone please upload the file to a mirror for me? My school ISP blocks the Nexus, and I'll have no other chance to get it, since I have dialup at home. I'd really appreciate it!

Sorry to hear that mate, unfortunately im in australia on regular dsl, my upload speeds are beyond horrendous. Otherwise id do it.

somehow i see my character watching a big plasma in his hideout ... lol ..movie time

Just letting you guys know Ive smashed the 1 minute time limit.
Its now up to 4:10 (something). Thanks to the old Civ4 exporter plugin i managed to easily
do what otherwise wouldnt have been so easily possible in nifskope or through dissecting
the nif code somehow. just tested it and it runs fine and dandy for me. This is however the
upper limit in my professional opinion.
Now the only thing that I worry about is the sub pixel stuttering, but that is
unfortunately nearly impossible to get rid of with something like this since
nifskope only supports 4 decimal places. I know the frustrations of sub pixel accuracy
from past employment. ANYWAY, It wont be available until the tutorial though, probably
early next week. Cheers guys! Im going to take the weekend off, hope you have a good one.

Edit: also fixed most of the start lag as well as the one frame jitter at the start of each vid.

Good enough for vintage popeye :celebration:

Have fun, you earned it
I'm probably just going to hang in front of the tv all weekend

looking forward to some music clips lol

Cheers guys! Im back with a fresh new version, a tutorial (still in early stages), and some old timer Silent Film clips.

Im a bit iffy about doing anything music related since music is one of those highly personal areas.
Can't please everyone, please one, you gotta please em all type scenarios.

If i could find something that's on the Fo3 soundtrack list though...

i'm sure that when you'll release the tutorial ... many people including me will produce their own stuff in order to satisfy their own needs ... i just want that big plasma in my hideout playing some music video clips ..lol

thanks for all of your hard work .. can't wait

Alex

Could become a reality since I just decided to change my initial merging policy.
A big screen would require going to 8k in my opinion,
since it may look too pixelated with anything above the current size.
8k also increases loading times though.

yes i've noticed that when i opened your dds files .... still a small flat sceen is still possible

i'll make some music video's using your tutorial
