Download Part 1: 1941-42 here

Added 103 more news events, that's 161 in total!(old version 58)

Added some Captain Midnight radio episodes and some more commercials

Removed ALL! music as I think people have different tastes and there is also the copyright issue.

To add your own music to the CBS Radio channel, simply dump your mp3 files in:

Captain Midnights MORE CBS NEWS! MOD v1,2\Data\Sound\Radio\CBS NEWS

This will add a new radio station to your Submarine Radio.

Tune in to Frequency

30.0, Radio news bulletins will be broadcasted live as they happen

and that all through out this bloody war.
The "LIVE" Radio news bulletins are 161 all together
and spans from 1941-12-07 to 14-08-1945
(Mostly CBS, but also some other stuff)
and are broadcasted they day they actually happened

(times during the day may vary)

When there is no "LIVE" news a collection of commercials will play, all from the era.

If you have other stuff you would like to listen to simply go to the
"CBS NEWS" in the mod folder and replace the audio files to whatever you like)
DISSABLE THE MOD in JSGME before you do this!!!

after you have replaced the audio files you can of course enable the mod again.

If you feel that you don't want to wait for the exact date to hear

these news broad casts you can also copy the files over to

C:/ Program Files/Ubisoft/Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the

Pacific/Data/Sound/Radio/Washington

They will just play at random...maybe a bit strange to hear about Hiroshima or Iwo Jima early 42.

Creds to "tedhealy" for the method of writing the "Radio.ini"

and the info on Patch 1.2

Install:

Simply use with JSGME

If you don't have it get it here:

OMG... this is what ive been waitin for THanK YOU!!!!:up::up::up::up:

brilliant!!
many many thanks!

Great job, added to the Main Subsim page.

Modders are at it again! Great Job:up: Its my humble opinion that Ubi should hire you guys to develop SH5 in tandem with the actual devs!

Yes, this is what I call adding to immersion. Thanks CaptainCox and thanks to the devs for adding this feature. I can't wait to start a campaign now.

We should have a thread to request radio frequencies for mods so radio mods won't conflict.

Currently I'm doing an all entertainment radio mod that is going to have 50+ hours of old time radio shows from the war and I'm probably going to use frequency 38.

Freq 22 = Washington
Freq 30 = Captain Midnight CBS Radio Station
Freq 38 = Los Angeles

Splendid mod idea. Let's hope it's great in-game, too.

"Have you gotten Charmichael to go to sleep yet?!"

What about the rest of the features of the media? Will you have an annoying war reporter on board that keeps getting in the way? Will the news keep broadcasting pictures from your sinkings 1000 times? Will you be stalked by paparazzis giving your position away to the enemy?

Thanx a lot - Great work :up:

This is like Christmas everyday with all the wonderful new toys. Thanks so much for the our new radio station.

This is great! Thank you!

Just tried it.. fantastic! Thanks!

What a cool feature the radio is too!

Great job! Can't wait to try this one out.

This is a good addition - thanks!

Let's hope enough Japanese material can be found to make an equivalent.

Also, might worth looking at limiting ranges so that you can only get the stations near to US/Japanese territories.

r.

Your brilliant!!! :up: Will it 'fade' out the farther I get from the USA? I'm sure this is the first of many radio stations to come. Did I tell you, your brilliant??? :up: Thanks for all the hard work! I've got the Guardfish enroute to Guam to drop off some agent, listening to the radio station the whole way...:ping:

GOD! Dont even have game yet and mods are coming out! Damit! Ok Direct2Drive here I come.....

The range of the broad cast can easily be modified in the Radio Folder of the mod its a script called "Radio"(notepad) open that and you will see this

[CHANNEL]
Name=CBS NEWS
Folder=CBS NEWS
Freq=30
Antenna=01.01.1930-01.01.2000:34.05,-118.22:100000

the 100000 is the range of the transmitter, play with that number if you want to reduce the range.

Unload the mod in JSGME, modify that range to what you want, save, and reinstall the mod with JSGME

Have fun and thanks for all the kudos :)

@ Soviet Warlord, I cracked your code it says "ARK ROYAL SIGHTED QUADRANT AF12 BEARING 196 SPEED 20KTS SET COURSE TO INTERCEPT"

Seems easy enough! Any short-wave radio experts out there know the kind of range a stateside radio station would have? I'm sure atmosphereic disturbances are not coded in the game!
