First of all, great mod! But... I have a problem that occurs not only with this “Main Menu Replacer”, but with all of them! Short description of what happens. If I deactivate any mod and then load my save game, I get a hint or warning dialog that the mod is no longer available, etc. pp. Quite normal when you uninstall a mod. But... I have the problem with all (!!!) “Main Menu Replacer” that the video overlays the dialog and you can't close the dialog. It is invisible, but apparently there. I have tested this with several “Main Menu Replacers” and with each one the video remains active when I try to start a save game where some other mod was previously uninstalled. Strangely, this does not happen with the original main menu video.
Any idea why this could be? Can anyone test if this also happens with others? Or is it perhaps due to my system or another mod?
I would like to point out that I do not consider this to be a fault of the mod. But for some reason the video overlays the dialog and I'm trying to figure out why.
Thanks for any help!
Edit: Just for your information, if someone have the same problem! I'm using "FallUI" incl. "FallUI Confirm Boxes" and for some reason the warning dialogs are not visible when loading a save game (or are overlaid by the main menu video) if a “Main-Menu Replacer” is installed. So the problem is caused by “FallUI”. When I deactivate “FallUI”, the standard dialog of FO4 appears above the main menu video, but I still cannot close it because no key input is accepted. I'm still trying to figure out why I can't close the default dialog either (neither by mouse nor keyboard).
Edit 2: Just for info... I find out... the input block comes from the replaced video (not only by this replacer mod). Don't know why, but the FO4 input (mouse and keyboard) is blocked, if the video is loaded and if there is a FO4 warning dialog, you can't do anything. I've tested it, renamed the video extension, it did not load and the dialog just works fine. Maybe someone has an idea why the mouse and keyboard input is blocked in a dialog if the original main menu video is not loaded. Could it be that FO4 expects a Bink 2.x video and the replacer videos are all Bink 1? Does anyone have any ideas?
This is an awesome mod with a great amount of potential, you wanted some suggestions and ideas so here they are: - See if the original creator of the video would be interested in recording the same or similar video with higher quality (Mods that beautify Fallout 4 would help too) - More immersive music, I appreciate the variety of music provided with this title screen however I think electronic music and very serious classical music doesn't quite fit into the Fallout universe, any 50's American song like the one you hear on the in-game radio or already included in the game music will go brilliantly (Even the original music goes really well) - Due to the "Not so great animations" in-game, the trees don't look realistic in the way they move, and speeding the animation up makes it more apparent, not sure what speed would work best but I think it would help massively if it was slowed down, alternatively I believe there are mods that also help with this. - Upload a video with the different songs to make it easier for users to choose which one they wanna use
That's about it, hope my suggestions help, thanks for an awesome mod, I'll definitely be using this as my main menu intro for a long time and look forward to updates :)
Greetings Patomagikzz and thank you for your suggestions. I briefly spoke to the author of the video to find out if he was planning to make more videos, but I didn't get a concrete answer. I don't know if he's still active in the field. As for the speed, yes, I've already been told that it's far too fast, but as I'm not the author, I don't want to modify the video and change the author's original intention. And finally, I'd love to integrate songs that are more in keeping with the game's vanilla songs, e.g. 60', maybe 70" but the problem is that most of these are copyrighted. The Nexus rules are clear on this point and even if some don't respect these rules, I don't really want to see this mod suddenly disappear from the Nexus for breaking these rules. Finally, I've got a few video ideas for this mod, but even videos are subject to this rule. Anyway, I'm thinking of adding a few things to this mod, but for the moment it's under consideration. Take care and again, thx ;)
