It's been brought to my attention that the Good Old Cartoons mod is the culprit responsible for a huge amount of issues that users seem to have when using VotW, specifically screwing up the formID's of other VotW compatible mods & messing up playback. No one wants that. We long dropped support for GOC due to it being a pain in the ass. As a result, I've made the decision to simply nuke (hide) GOC from orbit, until it's completely rebuilt from scratch. No ETA when (or if) that will happen, so don't get your hopes up.
Anyone figure out how to make holotapes that can't load into the projector or regular player work? So many of the classic cartoons and superman episodes are unplayable.
Starlight Drive-In addon doesn't work for me either, I suspect something has to do with the Scrap Everything mod since it allows the giant screen to be recycled. To be precise I installed the mod on my current save and I didn't try on a fresh new save. VOTW is enabled since it appears in MCM.
Edit: I found a solution (I am using Vortex and MCM)
1. Uninstall of VOTW (don't forget to use the uninstall button inside MCM menu when the game is running before uninstalling with Vortex) 2. Reinstall VOTW with Vortex (you will get the regular installer) but DO NOT check any addon (Starlight Drive-in or Theater) 3. Go to the nexus VOTW mod page, scroll to optional files 4. Install the addon "Starlight Drive-In Module" using Vortex 5. Make sure the mods load in the following order : 1. VOTW Master 2. VOTW SPECIAL Videos 3. VOTW Addons 6. Load your latest save and voilà, you should have movie reels inside the projector building at Starlight Drive-In if this worked
Hope it helps, this should work with manual installs too
I was finally able to complete the repair by first repairing which allowed the film to play with steel patches, then I selected a flap of steel remaining and entered "disable" in console. I attempted 4 times to get it to work without the hack- but screw it!
If anyone wants to share how to convert holotapes into films it would be appreciated.
I cannot. I only respond to include you are not alone. I have all DLC's and have the same issue despite selecting the DLC option during installation of this mod. Literally just figured it out. My issue is that I did not have the plugin enabled in my NNM:
I then had another issue of the tapes not playing! But again I figured it out :) Not sure how this worked but it did: I placed down a vanilla TV next to the mod TV and video player. I turned both TV's off and on which caused the mod TV to start playing the tapes. Hope this helps.
What do mean an outdated version of it? As fas as I can tell the most current version of VotW is 2.6. As for NMM, it still gets community updates which you can find at github.
Doesn't work at all in Next-Gen, player refuses to transmit any tapes including those included, all I get is the default TV standby screen. As there has been no updates since 2019 I think it's safe to say this is now a dead mod.
I just had to rebuild my PC and decided to install the FO4 next gen update. As you noted, VOTW is not working at all for me. Can anyone else confirm on here that it is a dead mod for next gen?
Actually, I was able to get it working by going into MCM and re-initializing this mod. Once I did that the videos started playing again. So it works with the next gen update.
the players and projectors have problems when used in buildings with more than one floor or if the building is to high they wont sync and connect with the tv's and prejector screens
Great mod, thank you very much. I'm trying to put a new video in the mod, but the frame rate is 10, so it's very choppy. Is there any way to increase the frame rate a little bit?
Amazing mod. Thank you. All works fine except the prjector with foldable screen alignment is a problem. I got it to work in one settlement but no luck again... Anyone has a solution?
Projector should work fine as long as it sits at normal ceiling height or slightly below. The foldable screen is a bit awkward to fit into standard single story interiors. Can be done but you might need special parts.
If you click back to page 3, I made a similar post with screenshots illustrating the issue with a potential solution.

Thanks in advance to anyone who know anything :)
