Gramophone ??

[scopehead]

[GoldenRivet]

someone will have an answer soon.

this is another one of those "guess and see" mysteries which none of the documentation addresses.

:nope:

[Jimbuna]

Put a vinyl on the turntable and crank the handle a few times :DL

[Seeadler]

The functionality is there, but once again delivered unfinished, it lacks of the assignment to the keys. This can be done by editing the commands.cfg.

My Gramophone keys are.

[Cmd466]
Name=Gramophone_play
Contexts=1
Key0=0x47,s,""
MnID=0x3F210002
;shift+g

[Cmd467]
Name=Gramophone_stop
Contexts=1
Key0=0x4B,s,""
MnID=0x3F210004
;shift+k

[Cmd468]
Name=Gramophone_prev
Contexts=1
Key0=0x48,s,""

WOW....................


It really makes me wonder what the heck the Devs were doing for 3+ years of Development...


Hmmmm....Let's spend three years removing that PREVIOUS Feature of the previous game..... :damn:

[Heretic]

You can add keys to the file and make it functional. I suspect it was to be accessed thru the radio operators dialog, but like many things, they ran out of time.

[Michal788]

Charlie901 can you make a zipfile what i can use.
Or tell what i must do for using that keys?

Thanks a lot. :yeah:

Navigate to the sh5 /data/cfg folder and open commands.cfg with a text editor; navigate to the gramophone entries and replace them with the ones listed above.

[Seeadler]

It can be added to this dialog, but it's a bit more of work, some of the aix files must be edited for such a mod.

[Michal788]

Ok thnks.

But there is something strange with the sound man.
Look at this movie this (http://ubitv.de.ubi.com/index.php?vid=951&listsort=1&theme_id=0&pid=0&games_id=0&side=2&looking4=ubisoft-tv) at 06:08.
And now look at your own game by him.

See the differents.:o

[DedEye]

as an FYI, if you add a keystroke to:

[Cmd561]
Name=Toggle_Activate_UserRadio
Contexts=1

you can get the user-radio back!!! :rock:

[etheberge]

Fantastic news.

We'll make something decent out of that game yet!

[Highbury]

[Cmd561]

How exactly would I do this? I have about 12gb of Radio mods I would love to have back. It looks a little different then the gramophone entries above.

[simsurfer]

My guy is lazy and wont stand up. Instead he slouches in his chair. :zzz:

[fallenyggdrasil]

Ok now just a silly question:
As I dind´t play SH IV....what is this radio thing? what´s the difference to grammophone? Is it like randomly playing music/messages? DIdn´t they say it was in the game?

[etheberge]

I used this for both my radio and gramophone and they both work fine:


[Cmd561]
Name=Toggle_Activate_UserRadio
Contexts=1
Key0=0x54,,"T"

[Cmd562]
Name=Toggle_Activate_Gramophone
Contexts=1
Key0=0x47,,"G"
Just make sure that the keys I used are not in use somewhere else in you commands.cfg file.

The radio play files randomly from a folder (typically music) but also plays certain files (typically news broadcasts) at a predetermined date and time. People have made entire "Radio Stations" available for download that give you the feeling of listening to a radio station of the era throughout the whole war.

They are a must have IMHO. Check them out in the SH4 Mods forum, these are especially good: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=119668&highlight=radio

[FIREWALL]

It will probably only play " Anchors Aweigh " :-?

Yeah, that is what my many GBs are made of lol. I have British and German stations for early in the war. US ones that will play music and kick into news casts in '41. Not sure how the news stuff will go.

Thanks for the heads up. BTW, the new UI mod has also added the radio back at the click of a button :up:

I tested it with one scripted event from the BBC radio and it worked, seems that nothing has changed on that front. I wonder if Radio Station Manager will work?

And yes I'm really excited about that new UI mod but I didn't have time to check it out yet, that's next on my list. Glad to hear the radio button works!

You have a radio and a grammophone at home ?
So what s the difference?
its the same in the game, music from that time and from the radio ,broudcast and news of the war

[B_O_L_T]

I used to sit in real time for hours listening to the radio broadcast mods in shiv, was fascinating to hear how the same events were relayed at the time in different countries.:rock:

I tried it out and it seems to work. It can use the save games in SH5. I haven't reached a "news" event date yet so don't know if this apsect works.

I tried this and mapped these functions on unused keys,b ut it did not work. I press these keys in the game and nothing happens. I did install the Mod "Grossdeutscher Rundfunk" before, but I do not hear a thing.

Any ideas, please??

Hello!

I managed to enable gramophone but how do I start Userradio playback? Can anyone help he?

I enabled it in the command.cfg like this:

[Cmd561]
Name=Toggle_Activate_UserRadio
Contexts=1
Key0=0x54,,"T"

I installed the "Grossdeutscher Rundfunk" Radio mod, but I do not know how to play it or change channels.

cheers

gramophone isn't going to do what you want to do. You have to show the user radio for this.

How do I "show" the user radio? I really don't know how that works or what you mean by "showing" it. Sorry :cry:

[TheDarkWraith]

look for this command in the commands.cfg file:
Toggle_Activate_UserRadio

[GertFroebe_neu]

look for this command in the commands.cfg file:
Toggle_Activate_UserRadio

Ok, this is how it looks in my command.cfg now:

[Cmd561]
Name=Toggle_Activate_UserRadio
Contexts=1
Key0=0x54,,"T"

Isn't UserRadio supposed to "show" when pushing T then?

[TheDarkWraith]

yes by all rights it should :hmmm:

I'm not much help with stock stuff. I use my UIs mod where everything is simple and just a click away. Getting the gramophone and user radio to show is very simple in my UIs mod.

Maybe the T is being used by another command in the commands.cfg file :06:

[GertFroebe_neu]

Thanks, I will try the mod!

cheers
Marc

[GertFroebe_neu]

Installed your Mod. Everything is working fine now. Great Mod, made SH5 much better! Thanks!
