Speaking of technology that isn’t implemented in cataclysm yet. Where the hell are the portable DVD players. It could show up on the text like this [glow=yellow,2,300] you watch a zombie movie you find it ironic[/glow]. Then similar to books you can find helpful DVD’s that level up a skill faster than books aka: Cooking DVD’s, Medical training CD’s, and maybe a season of some kind of Man vs. Wild DVD’s. Also they would have to be super rare and finding a portable DVD player in mint condition is hard to come by.

There is something like this in the works.

Not a portable DVD player exactly, but something similar.

Cool are survivors are slowly getting the comforts of home.

[quote=“Justice, post:1, topic:1717”]Ideally, it would function identical to the mp3 player already in the game. However, it wouldn’t require batteries. Of course, it would be controlled via the vehicle controls menu:

Enable cruise control
Turn on headlights
Turn on the radio
Exit vehicle
Do nothing

Anyhow, I’ll be adding this feature to my fork and submitting a pull request to the main branch in the next couple of days. I just wanted to get some feedback on the idea, first.[/quote]

or maybe you should just be able to install your MP3 into the car and then turn that on.

kind of blows my mind the number of things that should easily run off the car engine.

I love the smell of napalm in the morning, and Zombie Grunt FM.

This. If we can weld a flashlight to the front bumper and call it a headlight, it makes sense to do this.

Radio Bear.

Oh god, why did you say this? This has to be the worst best idea I have ever heard in my entire life.

Well, duh. How else did you think this would work? However, for the tuner you’ll also need a Radio.

Exactly, no reason to make it complicated.

I can imagine my character doing 110mph blasting “what a wonderful world” run over the hellish abominations of this game.

Vehicle stereo should be an installable part you can stick in any vehicle. Maybe even have multiple stereos installed in a cheaply made expendable pedal vehicle to draw the zombies while you loot!
