I got a 500GB for Christmas. It was $100. Just last week I saw a 1 terabyte for $250. :D

Hi Fred,
i've got the same problem as gclarkso mentioned:

I installed the AFRS Soundmod but don't hear a thing when I tune to the stations.
I've added the required lines to my radio.ini and filled the year's folder with music. Yet nothing playes.:damn:
I also have installed the Captain Midnight's CBS mod which just works fine. So I wonder what I've made wrong:hmm:.

Can anyone help me please?:cry:

Does your radio stop at the assigned frequency or just go on by?

It stops at the right frequencies and displays the stations name. But still it plays the "noise.ogg" file only.:huh:

*EDIT*

Don't ask me why but all off a sudden it seems to work. I haven't touched a thing since I tried it last time but now it's working. Realy odd....
Well, I startet a new career maybe thats why.

What was the date you tried to play it first? AFRS didn't begin programing until 1942, so I set the station to not play until then. So if you were still in 1941 you won't hear anything.

can some one make 1 or 2 complete file sets or a suggestion i made in past was to host real time music side no news , on like live 365.

What do you mean by "complete file sets?" As for "real time" music, there's just no way to stream music in the game itself. The only way to do it is run the streaming program in the background, and the game in the foreground.

Now if you want a station of just music, absolutely no news playing or showing up on the clipboard, the easiest solution is to delete or move the Events folder inside the Washington folder. Moving it would let you restore it later if you want. Then put your music files in Washington, and they'll play randomly, unlike the other option, the gramophone.

If you want a separate station of just music, let me know and I'll help you out that way.

Fred rules
 

While I enjoy many of the mods that I've found here on subsim, I have to single out Fred for special recognition. All of your radio mods add so much to the atmosphere of the game, I can't imagine playing without them. Thanks tons for all of your work on these.

Thank you. FYI, I still have some more add-ons to do. I hope to start work on them in a couple of weeks.

Fred, you have wasted more of my hard drive space than any modder or game itself! I'm so addicted I have an RSS feed of your FileFront files running at all times. I am a sick puppy and my hard drive is suffering.:nope:

WHATTA YA MEAN WASTED!! :hulk:

On a more serious note, it looks like I'll be getting to those add-ons sooner than I thought. I just got sunk in my current career, so I may as well get them done before starting a new one.
:gulp:

So your hard drive will suffering even more soon!:eek:

I'm evil I tells ya!! EVIL!!!:yep: :yep:

Fred, by any chance do you have Volume 2 of the Radio Saigon mod? I haven't had any luck at an any of the existing links.

Thank you in advance.

Sorry, no. I've never been able to find it myself.

hi i just downloaded,all 17 nbc radio files to try this out which took me like 3 to 4 days to finish,leaving my computer on all day and night-Geee-Whizzz! lol,when i was done i went to unzip the files,i got an error message or something,and then i checked my hard drive and it was jam packed full up{i have a 120 Gb hard drive}.I really want these radio stations fred posted, any ideas what to do now?

Normally I'd be a smart a55 and tell you to get a bigger hard drive, but this time I'll suggest something else.:rotfl: (but you really should get a bigger drive, or, better yet, another large hard drive)

If you have a DVD burner, you could burn the zipped files you downloaded to DVDs (make sure and use a burning program that will verify the accuracy of the data on the DVD after burning, such as Nero) and then delete the zipped files from your hard drive, then unzip them onto your hard drive from the DVDs. You could accomplish the same thing if you have another computer on your network with some free hard drive space. Basically, anything you can do to get the zipped files off of your crammed hard drive and then unzip them back to your system will help. You may find that you still don't have enough room, though.

You might, also, want to take the opportunity to clean up your hard drive and defrag it (after you get the zipped files off of it).

If all you have is the 120GB, then I echo DT's suggestion of getting a second drive if at all possible. Modern software, and games especially, will eat that up in nothing flat! I have a 160GB that came with my computer, and got a 500GB for Christmas that I use just for games. At the moment both are about half full.

If you can't get a second or bigger drive, but manage to make enough space for the NBC mod, DO NOT use JSGME to install it!! JSGME copies the files from it's Mods folder to the destination, thus requiring at least double the drive space. You can either extract the KPO folder directly in the Radio folder if your program does that, or extract everything to a temp folder and just "move" the KPO folder.

I am sorry for your problems. The NBC station is so large because they had the overwhemlingly vast majority of the most popular programs from that era. And as I mention earlier in this thread, I couldn't decide what to leave out.

And now for what could be either good news, or bad news, depending upon your POV: I'm planning at least one, maybe two more add-ons for the NBC station. Thus asking for even more hard drive space, should you choose to use it. :o Right now I'm working on a CBS add-on, then I have to do a KGMB version. So it'll be a couple of weeks before I start the NBC one. So consider yourselves warned!!:stare: :stare:

Thanks for the help,as soon as i can get some money together,im gonna buy another hard drive,or better yet i need to build another machine,with all the bells and whistles,dual core SLI etc....I was able to take call of duty 2 off my hard drive to make some space,and did some defragging to make room for the time being.Once i unzip the first nbc file, I dont have to unzip the rest{Right} because when i try too it wants me to overwrite.

Correct. Just pick one part. And it can be any of them.

Dear Fred:

Again, thanks for share this wonderful and nice music with us:up: !

Download Order?
 

Hey, Fred!

Thanks so much for the great station mods! I do have a two questions though:

1. Do I have to download these in order or just extract them in order? I think I may have downloaded some in reverse order (given that I was up so late trying to get them all!) I've already installed them and I reread your first post again and I'm starting to think I may have screwed up cause I'm hearing Roosevelt's speech on the affiliate stations as well as the first one (is that normal?).

2. I copied the station and music files to DVD to free up HD space so if I recopy them to my HD in order will that be the same as downloading them in order? Or should I just start all over and go back to filefront?

I'm currently in a new career in 1941 so maybe it's just not enough time has passed but I'm not sure. Sorry for the long post. Thanks again.

P.S. I'm using JSGE for enabling only BTW.
