Thanks to "tedhealy" for the method of writing the "Radio.ini" and CapnCox for the idea.

Sounds like a great idea! I'll definitely check it out.

There most certainly will not be a shortage of radio stations for people to tune in :rock:

Thanks tedhealy/Sir! It's all your fault :up:

Thought it would be fun to create a micro-location / time-frame station. I think I've got the dates right?..

Here's a Radio.ini I've been tweaking/experimenting ( based on you Mod)
http://www.compuglobalhypermeganet.tv/images/sh4/radio.ini

I've created folders per each station and placed CapnCox's CBS news \events folder in each allied one (date applicable) for news broadcasts.

Pretty soon we're gonna need a SubSim FCC for bandwith seperation and licensing.

Cheers!

Just giving it a quick glance over, the radio.ini looks good to me. You may want to check some of those longer station names out in game if you haven't already though. I'm not sure how well the radio handles long names.

Thanks for taking a look. The longer names seem to be behaving atleast upto 23 characters:
Sisiman Cove xx135.20xx
Tokyo Rose xx56.50xx

Cheers!
