silvergoon Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 I love your mods but not being able to lower the video volume or the radio volume kills all the fun. any lines I can add to change that? And another question is, I would love to activate the billboards, TVs, radios etc via a switch from far away. any chance you can show me how? cheers.

xyth Posted November 28, 2021 Author Share Posted November 28, 2021 This property is commented out on the players: <property name="ActivationDistance" value="5"/> If you want to turn it on/off at greater range, use that property and increase the value. Might still work, but i didnt test it in A19 There is no way to change the volume at this point. maybe in a20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvergoon Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 thx for the response. i would like to ask more questions if you dont mind cause i really love ur mods and play with them 24/7. they really are very immersive. so is there a way to add more videos than just 3? why makes it limit to 3 only? Your radio has 16 mp4s which is very cool. can i change the type of the tv to "poweredlight" in the xml to make it work with a connected powerswitch? thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvergoon Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 and another question would be: the small TVs have lower volume than the billboards or theather. So there must be a way to lower the volume from the core, yes? can you help me with that? the default volume settings is just way too high.

silvergoon Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 can we at least change the radius of the sound? make it smaller so the volume gets lower after 10 blocks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xyth Posted November 29, 2021 Author Share Posted November 29, 2021 All changes to sound volume must be done inside Unity, and then reexported. I set number of movies to 3 instead of higher, as video file sizes are large and I was concerned about folks getting carried away loading dozens of large movies and crashing the game. I do not plan on working on the video mods until after A20 is released, as I am working on other things right now, and also the video component tends to break every alpha.

[email protected] Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 I have a question about the video player. Are there size restrictions? Can I play any MP4 file? Can I play Hentai? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xyth Posted December 5, 2021 Author Share Posted December 5, 2021 there are encoding recommendations somewhere in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK. the A19 version works still (but also unfortunately only has the 3 vids). And i, as a noob, used a free program to convert the videos and remove the sound so it surprised me that your A20 version has issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xyth Posted February 20, 2022 Author Share Posted February 20, 2022 Try running it on a dedicated server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? even with my edited (from wmv to mp4 and remoced sound) videos A19 works without issues. I hope you find the time to make an A20 version. with (many)more tvs/channels, maybe even bigger screens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xyth Posted February 21, 2022 Author Share Posted February 21, 2022 By default, a dedicated server starts up with a Unity start parameter called -nographics. If the server starts with this parameter, then it doesn't load the video decoding components, leading to a full server crash. I just discovered this yesterday, as I had a moment to relook at this mod. My dedicated server has a video card, so by removing that startup param, the mod works as expected. With it left in default, it crashes. I asked some folks to test if a server without a video card or chip will load the game properly with this default param removed. Anyway, while waiting, I updated the mod to have 12 video slots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
