So it's basically an animated print? Or is it evented so it changes the print on the TV brick?


Good job, must have been fun.

Unfortunately its a dead-end way of doing things. I assume you used setPrint? The event is flawed.

The setPrint addon creates a list of prints in a sort of array. So if anybody wants to use that TV on their own server, the events in your build will still be telling it to set the screen to "print 03" for example. However, this person will have different prints enabled, and "print 03" could be anything.

I think iEvent tried doing a print-based film in Blockoworld a couple years back and it was just too impractical and ridiculous.

Prior to that in 2009, I also had a go at creating computer screen prints to make fake graphical applications for roleplay an whatnot. The design flaw of the setPrint addon ruined it.

I requested that setPrint would be changed to print using filename, but the developer said it would be hard to do and never got back to me.


Alrighty... so you didn't make the music, and you didn't create any custom prints... and that TV brick isn't custom so....

What am I looking at then?  The events you put together?

-truth-
I agree. I remember Icy saying this to me a while back when I suggested printed TVs

then I tried to make my own TVs and PCs using prints.
they failed

But nice job anyway
