Thanks. You`re a plus to the community

Hmmm, tried some different scripts and stuff and NADA!...for now I will just drop the Music in the "Gramophone" and leave the "NEWS" files in the Radio. At least you can switch off the Gramophone when you hear the news coming on.

You can do this manually by first creating a file called "Gramophone" in the "Sound" folder in the "Captain Midnights CBS NEWS Sound Mod" and then copy pasting the mp3 files from:

Data/Sound/Radio/CBS NEWS

to

Data/Sound/Gramophone (the one you just created)

Don't forget to delete the mp3's in the "CBS NEWS" folder after you copied and pasted the stuff.

I will tinker with this on and off, could also be that we will see a fix for this in patch 1.2...lets hope so.

The random music overlapping while playing scripted news events should get resolved in a future patch Or so a little birdie told me.

[CaptainCox]

WOW u seem pretty connected :p let me on on the news man!

This probably isn't the right place to ask this question, but...

I'd really like to use the CBS News mod, but problem is, both my radio and gramophone are MIA. When I first installed SH4 and the 1.1 patch, both worked. But now when I click the icons, nothing No radio interface, no gramophone interface. So I can't use the mod.

Anybody here have a clue how I can get 'em back? Only mods I've put on are the 360 degree bearing plotter and the green toolbar icons. Also made a few new key bindings in Commands.cfg for use with Shoot! Voice Recog program. Don't think any of that would have messed up radio and gramophone.

Thanks for any help!

Really a great radio station, but I've got a problem while using RFB 1.12 at the same time. Starting a campaign early (Dec 1st, 1941) and tuning in works well until Dec 8th. In the evening of the day (close to midnight) SH4 crashes to desktop. It doesn't crash if I simply leave the radio off and/or tune in to another station.

I suggest changing it by copying the Gramophone noise.wav in the \data\sound directory and pasting it there and then renaming it to Radio_track.wav. It's just loud enough to hear the static to know you've tuned something in and have the radio on, but it won't be so loud that you can hear it during broadcasts.

Hi there, new around here and would appreciate some help. First let me say, great mod really adds to the immersion, but i'm having the same problem as Rykaird. I tried searching for the Radio_track.wav file like tedhealy suggested but cannot find it, eaven did a search of my whole hd to no avail.

P.S. running SH4 with the 1.2 patch, any help would be most appreciated

Patch 1.2 introduced a fix. Add

;MusicVolumeOnNews takes values from 0.01 to 1
MusicVolumeOnNews=0.01

to your [CHANNEL] entry in your radio.ini.

[CHANNEL]
Name=xxxx
Folder=xxx
Freq=xxx
Antenna=01.01.1930-01.01.2000:41.00,-76.00:100000
;MusicVolumeOnNews takes values from 0.01 to 1
MusicVolumeOnNews=0.01

Cheers "tedhealy" been to busy at work this week to even start looking at this. You made it so much simpler now

[Q3ark]

Thanks for the pointer. Was looking at that last night but didn't have time to check it out. I guess great minds do think alike

Seem to have had it a couple times as well. Patrolling off Luzon from Dec 5th, 1941 and really want to listen to it.

I have had the same issue with a crash to desktop during a patrol off Luzon on Dec 8, 41. It was a shame really. I had just torpedoed a fine freighter.
