What Do I Add To The Fallout4.ini

Videos of the Wasteland - Oftentimes asked questions (WARNING If yous're averse to reading practice not continue)

This is the near comprehensive FAQ to date for Videos of the Wasteland. If you have a question about the mod, it'southward likely already been asked a number of times, and you'll find the answer in hither. There are quite a few questions/answers, in no particular order, so prepare to do some excavation...

Q: Why practice the holotapes not play audio when I return to one of my settlements?

A: the VotW scripts stop working (by design) when the role player character exits a settlement. Information technology'southward non a bug. We thought this meliorate than having a abiding active script running in the Papyrus VM whilst y'all play the game, when yous're nowhere near the object that the script is linked to. No, we won't be calculation this feature; it's a different kettle of fish than say a Radio mod.

Q: Will you brand .esl version for -insert holotape mod proper noun hither-?

A: .esl's are not the magic catholicon with zero downsides, that some people are led to believe. From my limited cognition, esl'south are loaded into the game in a random fashion, rather than the orderly fashion that .esp's load. Because of that, for certain mods similar VotW that need additional content to load specifically afterward it (rather than before) this could potentially crusade all sorts of problems, and may be the cause of various users complaining that VotW isn't working as intended for them. Likewise, installing using the Vortex mod managing director may be causing bug for users that are likewise not the mistake of the mod itself, merely are either due to unfamiliarity with Vortex, or acquired past the Vortex mod manager itself.

Q: I accept some holotapes that work in the tv but non the projector part. Any way to fix that?

A: Exterior of making sure that VotW and the holotape mod are both installed correctly, you lot'd have to create new .nif'south (using the RSprojector .nif template we provide) then edit the holotapes .esp to include all the projector references. (templates are in the download section)

Q: tin you tell me how to make this work, the queen wont let me put anything in was this mod made properly? or should i wait for information technology to exist finished?

A: VotW was made with magic dust and duct-tape, the proper style to make any modernistic. 99.9% of reputable mod authors surveyed agreed with this assessment. Kinggath (of SimSettlements fame) fifty-fifty called information technology "crazy" one time (he's not incorrect)

Q: Why tin't I make my own holotape mods?

A: Follow the tutorials to the letter (brand sure you view them on Youtube, rather than on Nexusmods, that way you'll have direct links to FFMpeg, and the other programs yous'll need, such as ImageMagick) and become re-lookout man them a bunch of times. Too having them playing whilst working on your custom holotape mods helps! It's insanely easy to forget to do 1 modest, tiny matter that will mess everything else upwardly & issue in a non-working holotape mod.

Q: Has anyone idea of the thought of adding multiple NIF files to a single holotape or movie reel, like a playlist. for those bigger picture sized videos that take ix moving picture reels or holotapes to add together to game?

A: Likely a lot of people, and in one case they've dove in to try, they've soon realized their error. The larger the .nif, the more exponentially complicated it gets. I really wouldn't recommend information technology.

Q: having a lot of bug even though I've followed guide to a t, the Boob tube randomly stops playing, I take to fiddle with information technology in build fashion to get information technology working again, it sometimes has a blank or purple screen and plays random even though I've set to ordered, this is after saving and loading before every plugin.

A: This is the result of corrupted download, or incorrect install caused by older (outdated) versions of NMM screwing up not installing mod assets/files correctly. Download the latest (non official, just community supported) version of NMM via Github - https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/Nexus-Mod-Manager/releases

Q: Is it possible to disable the idle-cam if the actor is sitting inside range of a Television receiver or RS screen?

A: Yep, add these line at the terminate of your Fallout4.ini exactly equally shown below-

[Photographic camera]

bDisableAutoVanityMode=1

Q: My Article of furniture tab in the workshop is missing, how tin I prepare this?

A: You could use the Workshop Card Missing Tabs Fix mod to get it back! https://world wide web.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/22205

Q: Can I merge .esp's from dissimilar holotape mods?

A: Yes, if you want those holotape mods to no longer work.

Q: I cannae repair thae Drive-in screen, wiz gane united nations?

A: For repairing the Drive-In, it tin can exist a little finicky regarding the role player position. Head over to the left of the screen, place yourself a few (in-game) anxiety away from information technology, and very slowly strafe to the right. The option to repair the screen should appear eventually (you have to be out of Workshop mode for this to happen, it won't appear if you're in the Workshop) Nae begga orf nosotros yer darf questions, I'g orf fora wee kip

Q: Can I play holotapes randomly, or do they accept to be played in order?

A: The Radiations Queen/Radiation Star both accept ii playback modes - Random and Ordered; the first randomizes the playback of all the holotapes you've inserted into the role player, whilst the last 1 plays them in the order you lot've inserted them. You merely need to look at the device when you have several holotapes inserted (every bit you would if you were about to remove holotapes) and you'll be presented with the option to select between the two options.

Q: How do I connect power to the Starlight Drive-In projector?

A: Timmy once asked me that same question. I said "But attach a thingie to the side of the projector building (close to where the projector is) and so hook a ability line up to it & a generator." Timmy's long expressionless at present, stood on a mine virtually a Raider encampment... simply the projector notwithstanding has power. Good 'ol Timmy.

Q: Who's Timmy?

A: ask Razorwire.

Q: howdy, this mod seems very absurd only information technology'due south not clear to me if the wasteland workshop dlc is needed...

A: You don't demand any of the DLC to be able to use VotW (it's optional in the installer) however if you have the Vault-Tec DLC, you get the added bonus of being able to use the pre-war Radiation King (TV'due south) from it alongside VotW.

Q: Why are a lot of the holotape mods accept different book levels?

A: It's likely that most of the other authors of holotape mods didn't normalize the volume levels on the content before they converted it to .wav/.xwm format.

Q: I call up quite awhile ago this mod was such a neat idea simply the scripting could bloat saves. I see it'due south been redone. I promise that ways this has been stock-still?

A: Yep, the revision to the VotW framework in 2.0 (and onwards) did address a number of issues that the 1.ten versions had, including that pesky delinquent script consequence. This is likewise why we no longer provide or back up version 1.seven or earlier, and recommend users Do NOT USE It.

Q: is there any kind of limit nosotros should put on what type of video we try to covert? Are Hard disk drive music videos, for example, convertible or is that going to brand a file that the players can't play?

A: No limit on the resolution of the source file yous're converting (although it'due south recommended to edit the file via video editing software before running the batch scripts, and so that it'll fit the 4:3 ratio of the Goggle box's) Regarding resolution, it's pretty straightforward. The Tv's use 4k textures which are comprised of 256 seperate images (which are each 256x256 pixels) arranged in a 16x16 sequential 'grid'. The Drive-In uses 8k textures (every bit it's a larger surface) which are as well 256 seperate images (simply these are 512x512 pixels each) bundled in a 16x16 'grid'.Basically, every bit long as the footage you're converting isn't lower resolution than either 256x256 for TV content or 512x512 for Drive-In content, it'll look fine when used with VotW in-game.

Q: Where is VotW category in the workshop?
A: Go to furniture, gyre across all the way to the left.

Q: Ii Questions: 1. When I want to convert videos that exercise non take sound, how would the creation of a custom video pack so differ from the method shown in the tutorial videos? Do I merely leave the sound entries every bit they are in the templates?2. Also, the templates include .esp files with 5 or 10 entries. Is 10 the maximum immune per .esp or could I put more vids in one plugin if I wanted?

A: Yep, you tin get out the sound entries blank if yous're content doesn't have sound. 10 is the maximum number of holotapes immune in one .esp, equally mentioned earlier, calculation more is possible, but fraught with terrors beyond fourth dimension and space.

Q: Tin can you lot get in and then that users can only add any video file/format and it'll piece of work in game?

A: No nosotros cannot, that'due south not how the Creation Engine works. It doesn't allow for streaming video content into the game.

Q: I like to know were is the mod need videomaster.esm - missing ?

A: Videomaster.esm is from an before, buggy/unstable versions of VotW (versions 1.seven and before) Those mods that crave information technology will need to have their .nif files and their .esp be remade (using the new template files for VotW 2.x)

Q: Will there be other holotape mods converted for Xbone users?

A: Doubtful, due to the size limitation of mods on that platform, and the VotW holotapes having admittedly pretty large file sizes.

Q: How to safely uninstall VotW 2.x?

A: Either using the chem crafting workbench or (if you're using the MCM-compatible version of VotW... which you lot really should) use the MCM uninstall option to safely disable the votw scripts earlier uninstalling the modernistic.

Q: I can't find the video tutorials for how to make my own holotape/picture reel mods?

A: Click on the 'video' tab on the mod folio, they're all there - although I'd recommend y'all sentinel them over on Youtube rather than hither on Nexus.

Q: Would you make a holotape/film reel mods for -insert film/Tv series/anime/porn-?

A: No, not taking requests. You tin make them yourself, using Razorwire'due south handy easy-to-follow tutorials.

Q: How practice I safely update from 1.7 to the latest (2.10) version of VotW?

A: Go to the main description page, at that place's an uninstall guide in there.

Q: Is it possible to add new TV'southward?

A: Yes, as long equally they utilise the mesh for the vanilla Radiation King Tv set's screen. This is why Quaz30'southward TV replacer is incompatible with VotW, too with the numerous flat-screen lcd blazon TV replacers.

Q: This mod doesn't work!

A: That'due south not a question. It'due south out in the grapes.

Q: I'm making my own holotape/film reel mod, but it's not creating the textures?

A: This'll be down to not having either FFMpeg or ImageMagick installed correctly, as per the tutorial instructions. The batch scripts for grid creation need those programs installed or they tin can't do they're affair.

: Are there whatsoever mods that could peradventure conflict with VotW?

A: Any modernistic that alters vanilla workshop records could interfere with how VotW works. For the Starlight Drive-In plugin, sure mods that edit/remove/alter certain aspects of the location might screw things up. Likewise, if you've used a scrapping mod to remove things from the Starlight area, yous're in for a crude fourth dimension.

Q: I've followed the tutorials, only can't go the video/audio to work in-game. Haaaaalp!

A: Y'all need to rewatch the tutorials, and don't skip whatsoever function. Every part is relevant. Then you demand to go through your .esp and .nif files with a fine-tooth comb to isolate the problem. Information technology's likely that your references are all wrong.

Q: Where can I discover non-copyrighted content (that is in the Public Domain/CreativeCommons) to employ as content for a holotape mod?

A: Archive.org's Prelinger Collection is a good place to start for content yous can freely use/distribute. There are probably other trustworthy sites out in that location as well, only yous'll have to get looking yourself.

Q: Whatever future updates for VotW? What almost further updates to the Starlight Drive-In, or support for Eden Meadows in VotW?

A: Sadly, VotW is not being actively adult any further, then for all intents and purposes, the mod is complete. The team had bigger ambitions for the mod (such every bit Eden Meadows support, and also a Republic-broad circulate organisation via VotW that we were planning to impliment) but as of this time, the team is disbanded. I may eventually stop/release additional VotW-related content at some bespeak, though no promises.

Q: Is there a way to run movies at Starlight Bulldoze-in and non fix the screen? I have a modernistic that projects the ads from Far Harbor and I similar how it looks broken. Would the movies still play correctly if information technology wasn't repaired?

A: Short answer, no. Not without remaking all the .nif files for the motion-picture show reels to use the vanilla Bulldoze-In screens mesh.

Q: So I take the starlight bulldoze in esp installed but I want to become rid of it considering I'k not getting much utilise out of it.how do I go most uninstalling it? and what practice I practice if I've already fixed the screen, saved, only want to uninstall it?

A: Uncomplicated, just uninstall the Starlight Drive-In add-on, and the Bulldoze-In screen will revert back to information technology's vanilla country.

Q: What is this annoying quest for a map well-nigh?

A: Information technology's part of the Theatre Pack add-on that Dertspovor created. Feature-creep.

Q: -anyquestionabouttheTheatrePack-

A: I tin can't answer that question, as I've barely used the Theatre Pack myself, and just contributed some textures for some of the posters. I know it's a bit buggy in places, and gaddamit, that encarmine quest.

Q: does the main plugin depend on VotWSpecialVideos.esp? i mean, can i use the master plugin without the plugin for the SPECIAL videos without whatsoever issues?

A: No, all the holotape .esp's rely on the main VotW .esm to part - you don't need to have the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. videos holotapes installed for VotW to part.

Q: Why you didn't include an ESP with the theatre addon?

A: Dertspovor caved in to users request for .esl's for everything nether the sun. Mayhap not the wisest choice, but his to brand.

Q: I fabricated a clip using the YouTube tutorial and it works:) There is a snag I've hitting however. The source prune's height than it'southward broad value: the ingame video is squashed vertically. I am trying to find a guide on the spider web, just if you happen to know any, perhaps a step by step tutorial like that on YouTube so please share!

A: The TV/RS projector use the iv:three aspect ratio, the Drive-In projector uses something that is close to 21:9. You'll demand to manually edit/crop your initial video file using video-editing software, to comply with the aspect ratio you want it to exist displayed at (for the Drive-In, there's an additional article in the VotW article section that covers some of the things you need to be aware of before you create your grid texture files for Drive-In content)

Q: Also is there another site that hosts more Video holotape mods?

A: You'll discover other holotape mods available on LoversLab, though of form they're likely all porn, if that'due south what floats your gunkhole. Information technology's likely that a lot of them won't work with version 2.x of VotW though, unless they've been updated.

Q: -insertanyquestionaboutGoodOldCartoons-

A: Of all the holotape content available, no other mod has acquired so many issues as GOC. Best to consult the original mod author for support.

Q: The actor doesn't work all the time when I insert the holotape. I have to supplant the TV every unmarried fourth dimension I wanted to see the videos. Which is simply a big freaking shameI don't know if its a problems or not but delight fix information technology.

A: Can't gear up something when the issue tin can't be replicated. This is probably either a corrupted or incorrect download/install, or a mod conflict caused past something else y'all've installed.

Q: I am missing VotWPosters.esp Could y'all delight help me locate this file?

A: That file was office of an earlier version of VotW (2.one.1. perhaps?) that was subsequently removed. If the file is still archived in the 'older files' department on the download page, you could manually download & extract the .esp from it.

Q: i accept a question near the starlight templates. Is there a reason (maybe technical) why the nif file templates are limited to 4 and viii grids?

A: The main technical constraint with the Starlight Drive-In module is that the screen uses 8k texture files, which are all loaded at once into retentiveness past the game engine. Those are big files! Increasing the length of the film reels (by the apply of larger template files) naturally results in more than assets being loaded into memory - this could cause serious functioning issues for users (especially those with lower-cease hardware) Ensuring optimal functioning of the mod for as many users as possible is preferable to adding a feature that could stop many players from using information technology, although we are aware that the electric current length is less than ideal when it comes to the Drive-In module. We're non planning on changing it though. We get enough complaints as it is.

Q: Does anyone know if there's a mode to make the drivein reels loop?
A: The reason we don't do this is answered in the previous question.

Q: When I stored the radiation star and projector, the video playing remained floating in the air and is forever stuck on loop. I've looked and oasis't seen anyone having a similar consequence and then does anyone know a fix or practise I take to reinstall?

A: I'd reinstall to be on the safe side, if it happens over again, it's possibly a mod conflict.

Q: What's the furthest you can position the RQ from the TV?

A: It'south all-time to accept the RQ between i-v (in-game) ft away from the TV. Outside of a certain radius, the histrion and TV won't exist able to establish a connection.

Q: What's the optimal placement for the RadiationStar projector from the projector screen?

A: Between x-sixteen (in-game) ft is best. Aforementioned equally the RQ, outside of a certain radius, the RS won't be able to project onto the screen.

Q: assist..i encountered an error which i was unable to store the holotapes into the queen. It says "item cannot be store hither''

A: This could be caused if that holotape mod isn't compatible with VotW version 2.ten (presuming yous're using ii.x) Alternatively, it could exist an install upshot, or by not following the uninstall instructions when updating from 1.7 (or earlier) to 2.x, using the uninstaller we provide.

Q: Why does the sound slowly desync when -insertmodnamehere- is left playing?

A: Information technology's a known issue that holotapes over 8-nine minutes in length volition start to slowly take their audio de-sync with the video. Obviously, the more than information technology goes over that length, the more de-synced it'll become. Skilful Old Cartoons is the worst offender. Can't be fixed, as it's an inherent limitation of the Creation Engine. We attempted to create a ready, just it wasn't very constructive.

Q: I've installed multiple holotape mods and some (or all of them) are not playing the right video. Why?

A: This is an odd one, considering it never used to happen. Non sure if it'due south an issue caused by VotW itself, or if information technology'southward something caused by BGS calculation new functions when they update the Fallout4.exe for Creation Club content. Anywho, the simplest way to avoid this happening is to install each holotape mod seperately, load your game, create the content for that holotape mod via the VotW workbench. Save your game, and so exit the game. Install the next holotape modernistic and repeat the process. Alternatively, for those who have MCM installed, we practice provide the option in MCM to reset the formID's of all the holotape content. Yous could try that.

Q: I accept problemo with -insert holotape mod'due south proper noun here-, whats 'appening?

A: Best to become to the -insert holotape modernistic'south proper noun here- modern page, and read the comments to see if it's happening to other users/is a potential set up .

Q: Will in that location exist a patches to enable motorcar-play/multiple film reels for the Drive-In?

A: Nope, that'll cause performance problems. Discussed in an earlier question.

Q: -Annihilation to exercise with Vortex installation-

A: I don't use Vortex, and so tin't help; best to consult Vortex documentation/forums.

Q: Tin can you convert holotape mods to film reels?

A: Well, I could... but I'm not going to. That'd be a waste of time, for numerous reasons.

Q: Where do I get/discover the holotapes at/from?

A: Via the VotW workbench, that you built via the Workshop menu. You didn't build one did you?!

Q: Will you add the rest of the S.P.E.C.I.A.Fifty. videos equally film reels?

A: Nope, instead I'll swallow this delicious double chocolate fleck cookie.

Q: How do I install FFMpeg?

A: The respond is in the tutorial videos, go watch 'em!

Q: Why can't I use holotape mods with the Starlight projector?

A: Considering reasons (which I just can't be bothered to get into yet once again, equally it'll involve technical jargon and you'll cease up mind-babbled)

Q: I accept a trouble, when I get to craft holotapes the workshop menu is _____

A: Ahhhh , y'all clever so and and then... Expect, deja vu!

Q: Would it be possible to add in a workshop thing to starlight so we can assign a settler to run the projector?

A: perchance... but we've no plans to add this.
