What it is?
------------

Let's face it, the Zone is a sausage fest. Girl TV is the newest (and only) channel
broadcast available within the Zone, and it caters to the relaxation of the lonely
stalker.

Free preview access currently available at Bar!



Installation
-------------

1.	Copy/decompress to your STALKER install directory.

2.	Open the file "fsgame.ltx" (in the same directory) with Notepad
3.	Find the line that starts with "$game_data$"
4.	Alter that line to look like the following:

		$game_data$   		= true|	        true|	$fs_root$|		gamedata\

5.	Save your changes and play.



Method to the Madness
----------------------

The screen animation is made up of 30 .dds images, used in a slideshow manner. I used Fraps'
screenshot option (F10) and pressed it every .5 seconds manually thirty times while playing
a fullscreen movie. Simple, lol.

The directory the files reside in is:

	gamedata/textures/fx/

There are 30 images you need to create, "fx_stalker_001.dds" through "fx_stalker_030.dds".

To convert my source images to .dds format I used the nvdxt_tools plugin for Photoshop. Make
sure that when you're saving you choose to generate mipmaps.


I am currently working on a script that will allow you to ask the bartender to change the
channel. I will add more frames per image loop to increase play length and add four more
channels.
