I cannot find a way around this.

Here's a way around it - on the same frequency list another channel - as long as the two channels have different dates of operation there should be no conflict. After Manila falls, the radio should tune to the later-dated channel instead of the earlier one. On this new channel place propaganda broadcasts - Tokyo Rose etc. If there can't be two channels on the same frequency, make the second channel just one frequency higher (i.e. 52 before Manila falls, 53 after) - the radio will tune to 52 but you'll hear 53 fairly clearly, then you click again and it goes to 53, then click again and it tunes to 62, etc. There should be no reason for players to hear static - if we can get some Japanese broadcasts (I already found a few 'Orphan Ann' music show intros and sign-offs) it should be fairly simple to get it all working seamlessly (assuming the SH4 coding has been done rationally - which was not always the case with SH3).
Also, when areas fall to opposing nations it might be fun to leave a gap of a few days so that we just hear static until the new authority gets radio broadcasts back on the air again. |
I'll play around with your suggestion on stations with the same freq, but different dates. Have you tested this? Sounds like it should work, but quite a few things with this radio don't work the way you might think they should.
It's not where I originally was going, but I like your idea of having the stations be in Japanese hands before they turn over to USA stations.
I have 8 zero hour broadacasts from Rose, each is 30 to 50 minutes long, plus the sign off/on short clips.
