B42 appearing when only B41 checked...?

I imagine since this one is updated i can swap from Forced Endless Broadcast?

Does this no longer work for B41?

thats normal. all this mod does is loop the stations so that they never stop broadcasting after the 2~ weeks.

I guess this mod doesn't work with the most recent B42 unstable update. TV shows still only come on a couple times a day and have long periods of nothing in between them.

Okay, found a way around it and fixed it. Merged this mod with the media patch mod and it's working. I probably made a syntax error somewhere, but I don't really care anymore at this point .. My head hurts. Going to sleep. Thankyou for helping the research and thankyou for the mod. Be good o7

I'm testing my version of the mod and .. Something's really wrong. I don't understand why, but the B42 radio/tv channels refuse to be displayed .. I copied the syntax exactly .. Triple checked everything ... I don't understand ...

No idea but I imagine its probably a power of two, probably 256 or something like that. I never tested the limits.
You basically did what I did in the original file (which is now the current file). copy and pasted the lines of text before updating the loopmin and loopmax values just to be sure.
What ever works.
I don't care who does what as long as it works for people.

@Chill808 > That's exactly what I ended up doing. Copy pasted over 4500 lines of text ... My head is hurting ... But it's done!

@Krauterz > Thanks for the heads up. Say, do you know what's the maximum value for loopmin/loopmax?

Here's a re-build version of this mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3537923869

I've completely rebuild the B41 file by hand, but the B42 version still uses your files. If you'd like me to, I'll remove B42 files,
keeping my version exclusively for B42. Also you're free to update your mod with the files from my version too, if you want, though
that would probably mean our mods are equivalent? I don't know, my brain isn't working right now and I need sleep.

@Krauterz You're welcome. I use this mod on my b42 and started a hosted server and wanted it for that so I just did a little looking at the logs and saw it wasn't overwriting the game's file. Thank you for the solution to this.

@CFW Magic It does if it's the only mod for the TV you can pair it with Broadcast Voicer or another TV mod which will return the text. However just ensure this gets loaded after what ever TV mod you use. If you want to just have this one you'll have to add in the TV text lines from the official B42 RadioData.xml just make sure to only over write the LineEntry tags in the xml otherwise the TV will stop repeating.

as suspected the file formats are different.
I have updated the b41 version with the original xml file from my previous build. this should bring back the text lines.
Thank you @CFW Magic for helping :)

honestly no idea. i made this so long ago and have only recently tried to update it.
from memory all i did was change the loopmin and loopmax values.
I am almost certain the file format is different between b42 and b41, which means the method of using the b42 version renamed likely caused a bunch of bugs.
let me have another looksee. I will update the mod with the original b41 file.

Yeah, the script lines were removed in RadioData.xml. But I see how the mod was done. LoopMin/LoopMax values are it, aren't they? I'll try and make a version of this which doesn't remove the text.

Well, not removes the files, but rather points to the wrong text IDs and so there's no text during broadcasts. I think? Can anyone using it on B41 confirm, please?

I think, if used in B41, this removes the actual text files from the TV/Radio channels. Not 100% sure.

thanks @Chill808 you're a legend. I have updated the mod. apologies to all this affected.

@Chill808 thankyou so much!! ^^

I found that the RadioData.xml is missing from the media folder in the base file structure. If you copy the 42 version and change it's name to RadioData.xml to the media > radio folder it works for b41

Can anyone confirm this is still working for b41? I have tried every load order and still the TV doesn't loop after the cycle of days.

Can you please reupload the b41 version as a different mod or share the source code with me. I think this is a must have mod and i want have this in my b41 server.

b41 not working, gg

yes.

i see its updated for b42. will it still work with b41?

can confirm it will not work midsave if broadcasts already stopped. just acts as if i never installed. all good, ty for response. definitely will save for when i start a new run though 🫶🏽

no. It will require a new save.
Sorry.

safe to install mid save after the tvs stopped playing already? would this make them start playing again?

I've just updated this for B42.
Please let me know if you experience issues.

aw man :c

Seems this mod no longer works...

hi there i been testing Flint's B42 media patch + B42 media for B41

this mod adds b42 tv channels and radio to b41 i noticed it dont have compatibility

can you make compatible?

please update for build 42. Or if you have a little manual files script guide i can follow i'd be interested.

But This is how you Lived bitch

does tv and radio stations never stop broadcasting or not

5 months in with Survivor Radio and all its added channels and radio frequencies still play. So it does loop that one I guess.

Can't speak for other radio/TV mods.

to address some questions and why I havent answered them, basically its because I really don't know a hell of a lot about how PJZ works with its modding orders etc etc and how this will interact with other mods.
Basically I added a loop in the TV and Music file for each channel that forces it to loop back around on the last day of standard broadcast. thats all I did to make this work.
Im not sure what the limitations are and wether it will work with other mods, you will just have to try it and see. sorry.

If modded additional TV shows are added, will they also loop with this mod or just the default/vanilla ones are affected?

Do you get more skill points when it loops back again if you've already seen that episode?

stopped working about 50 days after start

Works In Multiplayer have tested myself

@Krauterz can i set it to only loop the tv?

Will this work if i add it into a already existing world?

@ecchi shiyou if you do that make it so we can change the settings so it will loop when we want it to as server hosts

Or to make it loop once like every 84 days in-game time

Can I fine-tune this mod so that it would restart radio and TV shows periodically, like every IRL weekend?

Can you add trelai mod map's radio and tv shows?

I doubt weather will be accurate, it simply loops the radio and TV over once the broadcasts stops, so unless weather loops too (which it doesn't due to seasonal change etc) it won't be accurate.

@Kriosiss thanks for the info, seems like it works well enough - tested the weather channel as well and seems to be working.

lol i got an exposure survival at midnight

it seems to not be working all the time? the shows on the life and living dont always play fsr, also it seems the weather is accurate a month in
