Permissions and credits
Activable Computer rack and tape machine.

A simple mod for a more interactive Fallout 3 World.

Made in about an hour, it has been initiated, 15 days ago, in this thread, and has processed sub-consciously till today.

Updated June 2023. (Removed a cell name change)

Description
-----------
The computer rack and the tape machine have now an ON and an OFF state and are activable .

Available as replacement or resource.

The replacement version will change all the computer rack and tape machine of the games into activable one.

There are two types of computer rack in the game.
One is named Computer Rack and has On/Off states activable.
The other is named Control Console and will bring you in 3rd person animation for the On activation. (Like the one in Megaton Player house.)
They both look the same.

Both objects have their buzzing looped sounds replaced by a switch sound when activated.
To have the looping sound played when On, would have mean to create and link more than hundred times the sound. Way too much for a little mod.


The resource is intended for modders to include in their own mods only.


Incompatibility
---------------
None known.

Known issues
------------
Bugs reports are greatly appreciated and rewarded with Kudos.

Install Replacement Version

Delete the computerrack01.nif and the tapemachine01.nif in Meshesclutterconsoles
