The Shadow v .9
IF YOU DO NOT EDIT YOUR RADIO.INI, THIS MOD WILL NOT WORK.
The Shadow - 63 shows, all approximately 30 minutes in length. Two shows get run every month for the entire war. First broadcast is on the 7th, and the second is on the 22nd (excpet for dec 41 where there is a single broadcast on the 15th. There are several broadcasts from 1942 that get repeated in 1944 and 1945. All broadcasts are made at 21:00. Shows are not scripted to run on their original air dates in game for the most part. Storylines do not carry over from show to show. Attempts were made to have holiday shows scripted during the right months.
It is very easy to edit the events.ini if you want to increase or decrease the number of times a show is played per month. If you can't figure it out, just ask away and I'll get you started on any editing you want to do.
The Shadow consists of crime/detective stories. Sound quality is good on the vast majority of clips. There are a few that are difficult to hear.
It weighs in at 244 MB uncompressed.
The mod will be in JSGME format, but you will have to edit your own radio.ini so you do not break other radio mods you might have. You will need to add the following to your radio.ini found in \data\sound\radio
;THE SHADOW
;=======================
[CHANNEL]
Name=The Shadow
Folder=shadow
Freq=XX
Antenna=01.01.1930-01.01.2000:41.00,-76.00:100000
;==============================
You will have to supply your own number for the Freq=XX line - you will replace XX with a number of your choosing.
You will supply this frequency depending on the other radio mods you have used. The easiest solution is to paste this new channel at the bottom of the list. For the frequency number, look at the frequency of the previous station and add 10 to it to get the freq number for this station. Frequencies go from 1 to 1000.
If you want a different frequency, you can paste this entry in between other stations and select a frequency in between those stations. Make sure to have the stations ordered by frequency in the radio.ini. For example if you make this station's frequency=23, do not paste it before stations lower than 23 nor after stations higher than 23. Remember to space them roughly 10 frequencies apart.
If you don't use JSGME, just drop the shadow folder in \data\sound\radio and make sure to edit the radio.ini as instructed.
You can put music files in \data\sound\radio\shadow if you want (these files will play randomly on the station), but currently that music will overlap with the scripted shows making them hard to hear. The next patch will allow for a fix for this issue. When this issue is fixed, I'll post a new radio.ini entry that will allow for muting the random music anytime a scripted Shadow show is playing.
