[NM] Prop Pack

Getting the screen to sync with the media player is harder than it should
Hi, I installed both addons, NM prop pack and the Media player thing. Though when playing songs on the media player the speakers do nothing and the NM screen keeps saying ''No Signal''. What am I doing wrong? Or could you possibly provide a tutorial?

You need the Monitor from Entities > MediaPlayer or another TV from Mediaplayer. ? It's all in the description. Also, you need the updated version of Media Player from Sam: https://github.com/pixeltailgames/gm-mediaplayer

For some reason he didn't update the workshop version yet.

You don't need the monitor, only if you wish to use it as the Media Player entity.

Also, did you provided the necessary inputs with Wiremod ? You need to provide a value greater than "0" for the inputs "On" "Sync" "SyncMode" and a value of your preference to the input "Frequency".

someone could explain to me how is it used?

So 'On' needs a value from 0 to 1. If you want to turn on the speakers then wire 'On' to a wire entity that outputs the value 1.

'Sync' has to be a value from 0 to 1 too. If you want your speakers to sync with music from the Media Player then wire 'Sync' to a wire entity that outputs the value 1.

'SyncMode' needs a value from 0>1>2. You have 2 modes. If you wire SyncMode to a value that is 1, it will sync with the Bass. If you wire it to a value that is 2, it will sync with the regular sounds. (So you can chose what you want yourself)

'Frequency' needs a value too in order to make everything work. the values 100,000 to 1,000,000 seems to work best for me. (I have not yet played with this enough though this will definetly make your speakers work.)

Hope this helped you

Also, Rocket Bunny, I recommend using a frequency range of min 50 to max 100, more than that you can't tell the difference.

Thanks for your post!

They would have to make a video tutorial about it

It is an amazing addon, but difficult to use, since I'm a bit new, and I do not understand the field

Alright i'll make a youtube tutorial. Give me a few hours.

Sorry to resurrect this thread but I still cannot get mine to work even with all this help.

Workshop Media Player unsubscribed.
Github repository downloaded.
Linked nm amp to media player and speaker.
On: 1
Sync: 1
Sync mode: 1
Freq: 100

When I sync is 0, I can see the speaker moving. When sync is on and media player is playing music, no movement.

I'm stuck :[

I have gotten it to work and here's what happened:

First, I was using youtube and I don't know if that matters. So I tried a soundcloud url instead.

The soundcloud url still did nothing. So I pressed R on the amp to unlink everything and then relinked the media player and speakers. It now works.

Glad to see it worked, the sync option only works with soundcloud or local mp3s. nice name btw !

Ha, same to you. Nice addon, btw. Cheers!
