Mod «[B42] Functional TV Movies & Series - Framework» for Project Zomboid

Functional TV Movies & Series — Framework
This mod turns televisions in Project Zomboid into fully functional devices. Characters can watch real movies and TV episodes using custom VHS tapes.
Features

• Functional Control Panel: Includes Pause, Fast-Forward, and Rewind buttons to control media like a real VCR.
• Moodle Reduction: Sitting down to watch a movie actively lowers Boredom and Unhappiness over time.
• Immersive Experience: Features a custom VHS user interface and dynamic 3D sound.

Performance Logic To enable pause and skip features, audio is processed in 2-minute blocks.

• Micro-Stuttering: A brief stutter (approximately 0.5 seconds) may occur every 2 minutes while the game loads the next audio chunk.
• Resuming: When pausing and resuming, audio restarts from the beginning of the current 2-minute block to maintain synchronization.

Addon Compatibility Existing addons continue to work in «Classic Mode» with smooth playback but without pause or skip features. Creators can upgrade addons to the new functional system using the M&S Updater tool.
Important Notes

• File Sizes: Addon files are larger than original video files due to the required conversion process for video playback.
• Desync: Slight audio and video desynchronization may occur if the game is paused via the ESC key or if the «Pause on focus loss» setting is enabled.
• Repacking: Repacking the core framework files is not permitted. Creating and sharing new movie or series addons is allowed.
