Beam Pip-Boy Info to others...

<< < (2/2)

runboy93:
There is also different players than PvP players (I'm just PK we all know that, but..)
Some peoples like roleplaying on this server and PVE with friends, most of peoples are on PvP so yeah it can sound little useless for them, but not those other guys.

Marko:
It sounds like nobody is actually against my idea since my idea is good way to "share information". So when you say you don't like the idea, maybe explain why, because you then proceed to share a way to share info which is the purpose of my idea in the first place.

So repeating for clarity: use holotapes to upload info to your PBA, then easily pass that info directly to other players without having to copy tapes over and over (unless you want to).

Downloading info to a tape is also a good idea though. I say yes to that, though it's not nearly as valuable if you keep taped info in a txt file in "My Documents". Tape info can be copied to a blank tape easily already this way.

That was my point, yeah.

I do like the idea, I just think it'd be good to add the step of downloading info from Pip-Boy to holotape, instead of being able to send info from Pip-Boy to Pip-Boy.

Wait, what do you mean? Is it already possible to download info from your Pip-Boy "Archives" to a holotape or did you just mean copypasting data from notepad to holotape?

Marko:
I mean copy/pasting from a text file (created in Notepad for example) to a holotape. The tapes hold 2000 characters and the edit window does not allow you to see most of it. So for a full tape, you cannot really see what you're typing in-game. Instead, we have to write a tape outside of the game, and paste the info into a tape. Also the width limit in the Pip-Boy Archives screen is apparently about 55 characters, so if you want to write a tape that lists thing neatly, the info needs to be edited to 55 chars per line or else it looks messy. Here's an example; this tape contains all of the vehicle info along with the train schedule. Get a blank tape in-game, copy this below (in purple) and paste it:
