CRT Televisions! (1.18+)

Big chunky CRT televisions, perfect for playing old games on! Handle with caution, extremely heavy!!

If you enjoy it, please consider rating the mod!

This mod includes two CRT video monitors, the Sony PVM 14M4E and the Sony PVM 20M4E. The monitors are fully to scale (It took a very long time to get them the right size) and accurately weighted, detailed below.

• The 14" PVM is around 37.5cm tall in-game, weighing at about 10.0KG (Was 16KG, changed for balance reasons)
  
• The 20" PVM is around 49.0cm tall in-game, weighing a substantial 20.0KG (Was 28KG, changed for balance reasons)

There's also a Sony PlayStation 2 included! For now you can just turn it on and off and see the power lights. But there's plans to get the TV to display something if you connect the PS2 with a wire.

This mod originally started as a test, just to see how easy it was to create something in People Playground. I didn't like how little you could do with the ModAPI, so I started looking through the game files to see what other functions could be used, and how the existing objects worked. So what started as a "I wonder how easy it is to put a TV in this game", turned into 600-700 lines of code!

This mod is nowhere near finished, and there's a lot of stuff I'd like to add. But the files had been sat untouched on my PC for about three months, so I thought I'd clean it up a bit and upload it. That way at least a few people will enjoy it, rather than it never seeing the light of day :)

Note: Don't forget to activate the mod in the 'Mods' section on the main menu.

The TVs can be found in the 'Machinery' section (Cog/Gear icon) near the bottom.
Or search for them in the filter bar:

• PVM 14M4E
  
• PVM 20M4E

• Activate the TV to turn it on
  
• Use the right click context menu to change channels
  
• Buttons light up when turned on
  
• Screen is a light source, and even flickers slightly in the dark!
  
• Short circuits and explodes on contact with water when turned on!
  
• Breaks when dropped from a height
  
• Blows up when overloaded with electricity
  
• Blows up when set on fire
  
• Breaks when shot, hit, ran over, you name it!
  
• Different effects when broken by different things
  
• Different sprites when broken by different things
  
• Exceptionally good at crushing

• Add sound
  
• Add effects when TV is turned on and off
  
• Have it interact with electric wires, and variable power levels (Screen shines brighter with higher voltages etc)
  
• Damage effects (Screen going off and on when damaged etc)
  
• Connect multiple TVs with wires to display the same thing
  
• Add various items that display different things on the screen when connected with a wire (Game consoles etc)
  
• Working screen that can display text or video

If you're interested, I encourage you to look through the source code for the mod (steamapps\workshop\content\1118200) I've tried to keep it as readable as I can, and it's filled with comments to make it easy to understand, so it'd be an excellent learning tool for anyone looking to make a mod of their own.

I've also done a few things in the code that I haven't seen in any other mods I've looked at. For example, every mod I've seen uses Instance.FixColliders() when making a new object. This deletes all of the collision volumes on the original object and makes a new one that's the same size as your new sprite.

I've found that when your new object comes into contact with the Tesla Coil, it completely freezes all of the electricity because Instance.FixColliders() deleted something the electricity needs to function. To fix this, I found a way to dynamically resize the colliders without removing anything, so your new item interacts with everything else just like the original item would have!
