Thanks Fred!

I think things are little bit deeper than I realized at first. For some reason, some of the sound effects and speech files aren't playing either. Like general quarters. The crew shows up, but no bells, and the General Quarters announcement. I think the destroyer and sub pings aren't triggerring either to boot. Just a couple observations so far.

But I am beginning to think the whole sound structure may be porked now.

Ah well, if it is, it is. I hate to have to do a reinstall, but I really need to upgrade jsgme to, but have procrastinating on that one. Hey if ain't broke, don't fix it! Right?!

To avoid that, use Digital Trucker's Radio Station Manager. I think it's in the download section. It will prepare the radio stations for the date you choose from the savegame folders so you don't go through the same events over and over again.

Also, if you get an error message for a missing file, you may have to dig into the radio mod(s) to find the exact file, but you can then add them to their appropriate folders in the SH4 Sound folder. Some of the big files for some reason don't always unload everything, which can cause ctd's or other odd things too.

Thanks for the post there Fred, but it didn't help, so I'm thinking, I will have to get rid of everything, and reload the game. I hope I don't have trouble with the download version of the game with the stupid activation key. It's been almost 3 years since I bought that one.

On a god note, it was only Dec 11 1941! So not much lost there.

Well Fred, I finally figured it out. My uncle's cat chewed through my center speaker, and subwoofer cable.

It just so happenned that I was uploading drivers after plowing snow, and everything went fine on the installs, so I was a little dismayed as to why it all of a sudden stopped working. I tried thinking it was the HD Audio drivers that nvidia install was doing, but obviously not. So I found a new set of adio drivers for the RealTek setup, and loaded them up, and when I went to test the speakers in the 5.1 surround sound, I had no center speaker, and no subwoofer. So first thing I do, is check the back of the rig where the cables plug in, and sure enough, the damn wire to those speakers is chewed through!

My uncle was decent though. He went and replaced the cable the cable for me, but I could toss the cat to the coyotes when they come around. Man, 2 days of fiddlin' around between shovelling and plowing snow. That sucks........

Anyways, I have a clean new shiney install of SH4. Oh, one thing was odd, when I went to use the radio station manager, the JB, I think the numbers are 121144, but the last 3 are .526 file, for some reason won't unpack from the compressed rar file.:hmmm: The radio station manager says it's missing, which it is, so I have to dig it out and manually install it in the proper folder, and all is fine. There are 1 or 2 more files that do that for some odd reason. Even though they are there, they don't get unpacked.

But I run into the same thing with Captain Midnights CBS radio too. AFR loads in just fine though, along with radio Saigon.

Anyways, you can add chewed wires to the list, or at least make sure your cables are plugged in all the way. Especially if there are small pets afoot!

Thanks. I'll try that. :)

Fred just wanted to let you know that part 17 of KPO isn't downloading. I have that part from an older download and was waondering if that will work?

EDIT: Part 28 also not working.

The older version probably won't work with the new version.

I just tried both, and 17 did hang, so I did re-upload it just to be safe. 28 downloaded fine for me.

Mediafire sometimes gets glitches like that. You need to just leave it awhile and try again later. If it keeps doing it consistently, then it's a problem.

17 is working now but I've tried 28 several times today and still cant get it to download. I've tried it at different times but no luck yet.

Okay, I've deleted 28 and uploaded a new copy. See if it works now.

Just tried it and it is working. :up: Thanks Fred, you have a lot to maintain and I cant begin to tell you the enjoyment these radio mods have brought me. The game wouldnt be the same without them. :salute:

hey guys im looking for an english radio mod.. i downloaded many radio stations from SH4 like bbc station or trans-atlantic station but they are not working on my SH5 v.1.2 :damn: i tried everything but only Grossdeutcher Rundfunk is working fine but i want an englsih station ! i need help ! :cry: thank you

All of Fred's stuff will work in Sh5.... But most "Events" are dated for Sh4, ie,, 1940's.
I have several of his stations running in Sh5, and have composed a couple of my own, so I know they will play fine.
If you are having trouble, it is probably with the "Installation".

Try this :

Goto **xxx\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\data\Sound\Radio** Folder.
In there will be the Radio Station Folders and a file named "radio.ini"
For a Quick and Dirty Test, Create a NEW Folder and Name it "My Station".
Copy a few songs, News, radio shows or whatever into your new folder "My Station". ( One Song is enough for our test.... I use MP3, or ogg formats... both seem to work for me.)
Now Open the file "radio.ini" that should be in the fore stated **xxx\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\data\Sound\Radio** Folder. ( Use NotePad to open. )
It will look something like this :

[GENERAL]
RadioRealism=Yes
StartCh=1

[CHANNEL]
Name=Washington
Folder=Washington
Freq=22
Antenna=01.01.1930-01.01.2000:44.16,-35.10:100000
MusicVolumeOnNews=0.01

Now we will add your NEW Test Station by adding this :

[CHANNEL]
Name=My Station
Folder=My Station
Freq=32
Antenna=01.01.1930-01.01.2000:44.16,-35.10:100000
MusicVolumeOnNews=0.01

When finished it should look like this :

[GENERAL]
RadioRealism=Yes
StartCh=1

[CHANNEL]
Name=Washington
Folder=Washington
Freq=22
Antenna=01.01.1930-01.01.2000:44.16,-35.10:100000
MusicVolumeOnNews=0.01

[CHANNEL]
Name=My Station
Folder=My Station
Freq=32
Antenna=01.01.1930-01.01.2000:44.16,-35.10:100000
MusicVolumeOnNews=0.01

Save and close.... then go try it in Game.
Your Station will be on Freq. 32, so dont forget to tune to that Freq.

Any Help ?

I can't help you with SH5 cause I don't play it.

Just looked at this mod for the first time...

...Gonna have to get a new drive just for this mod alone! A sound mod of epic proportions! :o Sounds great, though. Will have to DL when I have the extra storage space.

Thanks for sharing.

I've uploaded an add-on for the AFRS stations. See the first post for details.

Thanks for the comments. Yeah Archive.org is a great resource. Most of the programs and so of the music I use came from them.

Well, I went to download KPO Radio as mine is about 2 to 3 years old, and got parts 1 and 2, but when I clicked on part 3, I got this temporarily unavailable message Fred,

http://www.mediafire.com/?piwmmpt3ayf20zo

Not sure what's up, but thought I would bring it to you attention.

It's because I've run out of my bandwidth allotment for this month. You can either wait a few days when I automatically get a new allotment (after the 25th), or use Silenthuntermods.
