NMC Terminal Flickering

[charman]

I'm using NMC texture pack, but all broken/junk/useless monitors have this weird flickering. It's intentional flickering to make them seem like old run down monitors, but I'm trying to remove it. Places like the Museum of History entrance have a handful of these terminals that don't do anything other than make the area look run down. But the flickering on them is completely synchronized and very off putting. It's weird to see so many terminals on screen all at once with this effect. I've tried removing the texture files and meshes, but apparently the screen is completely separate from the terminal. Maybe because it's animated?... if you can call it that. If anyone knows what causes this, please help.

It's animated, you can't remove it. It was supposed to be that way, the animation was broken and has been fixed. It's supposed to be pretty dark so you can barely see it.

[charman]

fixed for the upcoming ttw patch I'm guessing?

[RoyBatty]

No, it works as intended.

[charman]

is there a way to remove the animation, or break it again? haha. something about a bunch of old monitors flickering in perfect synchronization on screen at the same time is off putting. maybe if they didn't all start their animations at the same time

Is this what you're referring to?

Yeah...it is kind of weird to walk around the front desk and see all the terminals flashing at the same time. One or two on screen isn't a big deal, but six on screen at once was a little jarring

it isn't animated in the picture obviously, but yeah that's where I'm talking about

I know, I will update it a bit later with a longer anim so I can set them to random anim start so they aren't synced. However this animation was intended by Beth, it was just broken and I fixed it... along with about 100 others in the game.

Awesome, looking forward to it, Roy. I’ll never stop being amazed by how much work and attention to detail goes into TTW. But the true wonder comes from when you find time to sleep
