A21.1 VideoPlayers Mod

JohnnyKix said:
i was gonna say that but i thought you will realize yourself. I have no problem with breaking the original screen first to place the new one. this looks awesome mate. gimme gimme gimme :)

and please seperate this mod in 3 mods. so i can place like 3 screens, but each screen has their own loop of 3-6 videos. As of now, it always loops all the 12 videos and always starts from the beginning, which can get annoying quickly. i would love to have 1 screen for films only, 1 screen for retrocommercials and 1 screen for cartoons.

Once you get to the movie you want, pressing E locks it.

 
this is not what i meant but anyway. when do you think you are ready with the giant cinema screen? can you upload for me what you have already? i can remove the original screen first, no problem with that.

 
Added a "DriveInScreen" block to the mod.    A couple of issues:   the screen is 21x10x1, but the xml multidim property is set to (10,10,1) because values larger than 15 or so causes "Not a parent" red errors in the console.   The other is because the screen is so big, its very difficult to place, so use helper column of blocks to find the center then remove those after its placed.  Even then, the screen wont actually place unless you get just the right angle.  This game doesn't like huge blocks, so you will need some patience to place this screen.

so the screen is only 10x10x1 ?

i cant switch it on or off with E, no reaction

Incorrect.  The screen is 21x10x1, only the placement outline is 10 by 10 to avoid the error.  Like all videothings, you need to add a wire using the wire tool, then you can remove that wire.  That is required to power up the screen.

 
there is a weird thing with the size. left and right of the screen are only half blocks, which makes it imposible to center. hard to describe. 

nevermind i just build a new high pole, thx buddy, this mod i love so much. 

now please please make a mod 3 times, so i can build tv2, billboard2, driveinscreen2 and so on, so i can have different playlist categorized,please master. lol

 
some additional points if you are interedted

the video and sound are not synch since v20, no matter what i do.

the sound radius of the driveinscreen is to small, it doesnt reach until parking spots in the back. i realized that the billboard has a much bigger radius. 

 
wow people seem to love it, my first post on reddit got a lot of upvotes. 

i tried sth stupid, i copied the videoplayer mod folder and renamed it videoplayer2 and i replaced some lines of code with a 2 at the end. for example when there is line "billboard" i renamed it "billboard2" 

when i start the game, i can see the assets in the building menu but when i try to place it i get an error that a unity3d file is already in use. damn i was so close :)

another thing i realized is that the screen at night becomes very dark and not watchable. all movies go dark and i need to light the screen which only helps a bit, not much. is it possible to make the screen always bright? cheers.

Uploaded new version.  Drive-in screens shader changed for full brightness at night.  Increase sound range to 100M on Drive-in screen, 50M on smaller theater screen.  Increased activation distance in xml on drive-in screen to 30M so you don't have to fly up to the screen to change movies. 

 
if i had work i would donate right now. I will donate to you sometime in future because you are a kind man and a great modder. 

thank you, i will download right now. I wish I was a rich, I would give you a bunch of money and make a huge mod wishlist for you to code. 

How can I learn to do this? I want to start slow of course. For example I would like to change the sounds the zombies make, when they die. Add soundfx so to speak. 

And again, is it somehow possible to use the videoplayer mod multiple times by renaming some codelines? I have several bases and all of them have videoplayers. Everytime I am approaching a base that playlist starts playing and it always starts with the same(the first video.00) video. But i want seperate playlists for the bases, so if I approach base 1 movie1 is played and if I approach base 2 video2 is played. I wanna give every base its different feel by playing the fitting music or video. Oh god, i wanna do so much, i have so many ideas. I envy you brother, modding is a great gift, i hope you are aware of it. Dont take it for granted. Bringt it to the next level, dont stop. 

 
Heya, thanks for this mod! You mentioned in the video that you can assign a URL to the player, sorry if I just plain missed it, but how do you do that? Thanks again, great work!

Unfortunately, that assignment has to be done in Unity then the player reexported.

can we dublicate the videoplayer mod so we have 2 seperate playlists somehow?

Probably not something I will do in the near future.   The NPCCore mod is my priority, and until Summer my modding time is limited.
