So, when exactly does it start? You say the shows air between 12am and 12pm and 12pm and 12am, but do they start after a specific timeframe has passed? I started noticing them around Day 1, but does it start on Day 0 (july 9)? But I am not sure what Day they start. Would be really helpful to know

do the radio channels announced in the broadcasts work? if so, could you list the frequencies somewhere? i'm having a really hard time tuning in into them, i only got the frequency for the Mojave and Hoover Dam one

@Skipper Hey! There are two shows per day that air between 00:00 to 12:00 and the other from 12:00 to 00:00 so you can pretty much watch at any time during the day or night as long as you tune in. However, if you encounter a TV that has the channel on then it counts as you watching it like any other TV show in the game. I hope my response helps you :spiffo:

@Cleon XIII I don't plan on continuing updating this mod, maybe porting it or fixing any bugs. But, I have moved onto bigger projects such as Support Corps and its successor mod/update that's coming soon (Support Goods Mega Mod) :spiffo:
Cleon XIII 22 Feb @ 9:28am 
It's a great mod! What are you plans for the next update? :)

Side note: I used this mod for a few (Short) runs already and I found it highly immersive! The Enhanced TV project mod works alongside it fine, with minor bug being last played channel keeps playing visually while the tv is functionally changed to the FEMA channel

@The Review Critic Yep. And it produced work that is far higher quality than I could've produced myself. Currently, AIs are just at their beginning, they hallucinate, they make mistakes, and they are sometimes stupid. But, they can pretty much get most of the grunt work done with it like very simple coding tasks like LUA translations, images, and writing. So, it was of great help.
ComradeWP 19 Feb @ 11:08am 
I really like that you used AI for this, it speeds up the mod making process 10x and I am glad to see people embrace new technology rather than be upset about it!

Great mod for some immersion but it becomes a massive help when you can learn about generators. I had the power go off at the end of week two and I hadn't found enough gear to grind up Electrical skill to Level 1 let alone Level 3. I had a stack of food in fridges and freezers and it was all going to rot because I couldn't get a generator hooked up and the book was nowhere to be found.
That character died by a zombie so I thought I'd do a new game with this mod active. Not only did it help raise Electrical skill, but now that I have a generator, I can actually connect it and not worry about losing my latest stockpile of fresh food. :cozytf2mug: :spiffo:

@Dr.Luke I sent you a friend request. Message me when you accept it and I'll help you.

How did you create this TV station? I've been looking for WordZed and stuff along with VHS's to make something interesting.
Athens111  [author] 27 Jan @ 5:11pm 
@Mitchell Vories Exactly. Pretty much the shows are available for 12 hours since they air. So you can watch one between the hours of 0:00 to 12:000, and another from 12:00 to 00:000. Just turn on the TV whenever you want to watch during the day. Just make sure you don't stumble into any TVs with the channel on otherwise it counts as "watched'

So, one show plays at midnight [12:00 - 0:00] or the other I'm not sure [0:00 - 12:00]. Or does that mean that on show plays between the hours of Noon to Midnight and the other between the hours from Midnight to noon? I guess I don't understand because 0:00 means midnight and 12:00 means noon.

I love this mod. Thank you.

I just finished day 14 and have to admit: Aside of helpful skill gains this really adds in some immersion. Really cool mod, keep up the good work! Should get much more likes in the future imho :-)
jacknotch 20 Jan @ 7:30pm 
Will this still work if i add it mid-save?
Maggie 🧁 14 Jan @ 7:32am 
@Athens111 I returned to the houses that I previously looted/watched tv (and left it on) and the broadcast worked in one. I turned them all off for now, will try to experiment a little bit more.
Athens111  [author] 13 Jan @ 11:26am 
@PKPenguin, @PrincessCrystal. I will look into adding this option. If I can figure out how to do it then I'll add it. Will keep you informed.
Athens111  [author] 13 Jan @ 11:26am 
@Maggie, that's weird. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue? It might be because you stumble onto TVs that have it on then the game considers the broadcast as watched and does not play it again for the rest of the day. That's from base project zomboid. Could this be the issue?
Maggie 🧁 11 Jan @ 8:39pm 
It worked for the first two days, then I could never catch the shows. If another tv is on, does it play it there and then I miss it?
Molten 11 Jan @ 10:40am 
I love this mod, and I am so looking forward to when you expand it even further with more lines of dialogue.
PrincessCrystal<3 10 Jan @ 4:33pm 
Can we have a looping option?
PKPenguin 9 Jan @ 8:24pm 
It would be cool if the automated systems looped the playback after the rest of the TV stations shut down

FEBN

Legendary.
Athens111  [author] 4 Jan @ 7:50am 
@HOODINI ; It has two broadcasts per day. One that runs between 00:00 to 12:00 and one from 12:00 to 00:00. You can watch them anytime between those periods, so if you want you can watch one at morning when you wake up and one before sleeping. It’s different from Life and Living and other broadcasts.
HOODINI 4 Jan @ 1:15am 
Hi, just actually want to confirm. Does it mirror the schedule of Life and Living or is FEBN a once a day broadcast?
Athens111  [author] 3 Jan @ 8:16pm 
Version 2.0 released!

Thank you!!
Athens111  [author] 31 Dec, 2024 @ 7:40pm 
I haven't tested it on B41 or modded it for it. The problem is that several broadcasts teach the new skills. So that may cause a few issues.
Mantismax 31 Dec, 2024 @ 7:37pm 
b42 only?
