📋 About This Mod
DESCRIPTION
This mod adds a functional cinema to FONV that will project movies in real time. The films are complex and long animated controlled sequences. Feel free to test it and share your comments. Read description, watch video and pics.
The cinema is located at North Freeside. The cinema is managed by a ghoul named Cecil with the help of his robot Lumiere. To access the cinema you have to talk to Lumiere and pay 20 caps. Two films are projected daily: "The Great Train Robbery" at 6:00 PM and "Frankenstein" at 12:00 AM. I had to edit both films to fit the format of my animated sequences, still the animated sequences files are huge.
HOW IT WORKS
To enter the cinema, you have to talk to Lumiere, the protectron outside the cinema, and pay 20 caps. Functions start at 6:00 PM and 12:00 AM respectively. If the function starts and you are outside, Lumiere will not let you enter, until the current function is over. So, watch the schedule if you want to watch the films. If you are inside the cinema during a function and you leave, you wont be able to enter again until the current function is over. You cannot wait inside the cinema. This feature was set to avoid mismatch between the film, the film sound and the timing of the NPCs and the owner actions.
Inside the cinema there is also a cafeteria managed by Cecil, the owner and proyectionist, where you can buy food supplies.

INSTALLATION
Extract the NVxCinemaFanstastique.rar in your Fallout New Vegas data folder.
Extract the TrainGreatRobbery.rar in your Fallout New Vegas data folder.
Extract the Frankenstein.rar in your Fallout New Vegas data folder.
I uploaded the films folders separated because the files are too big and it wont suffer any more change. Only the NV Cinema Fantastique file will be modified to correct bugs or add new features.
COMPATIBLITY
This mod can be incompatible with mods that modify the game time. the film and NPCs schedule was setup for the current game time.
So far, none. Report any bug. I will try to fix it ASAP.
