I didn't particularly want to do this, but here it goes. The song/show files are easy to download, the hard work and time put in comes from scripting these shows in files called event.ini.
====================
His adventure station and event.ini is significantly different enough from my adventure station. They do combine the same programs (Terry and the Pirates, Ellory Queen, World Adventure Club), but they are played at different times, the file strucutre is different, and there appears to be a significant number of different files. No qualms there.
=====================
His AFRS Command Performance station is the same as Von Manteuffel's. As Von Manteuffel laid out, it is the exact same file naming structure VM came up with.

As you can see, the exact same. The whole file is like this. BL has simply compressed VM's mp3 files, copied VM's event.ini and passed it off as his.

===============================
BL's BBC station has 96 files, 95 sound files and 1 event.ini. The exact same number as my BBC station. BL's audio files are renamed to the only the date, whereas mine contain the date and a description for the most part. Looking at a small sample from the files, they are from the same dates and times. A coincidence? Perhaps, but looking at the event.ini

The same files (with different names) are played at the same times on the same dates. And it goes on like this for all 95 sound events the whole war. You may say, "hey tedhealy, those files are meant to played on thoses dates, this proves nothing!"
Ok sure, if you want to disregard that the days and times are the exact same, go ahead. But he also has the same syntax error in this file that I did from an earlier verstion.

Notice the StartDate line with the "026" as the date the sound plays. This is a syntax error and this file will not play on this date and may cause a CTD.
He also has files that have no exact broadcast date played the exact date and time I selected to play them. See the december 16 EVENT above. That sound file only had a december date, we both somehow choose the 16th to play it, fancy that.

Moving on.
===========================
BL has a CBS news station, hollywood station, and los angeles station. I did not examine these closely, but a quick glance reveals some similarity to my earlier hollywood mod with both a hollywood and los angeles station, but they are significantly different enough that I make no claims here. I am unsure if BL's CBS station is similar to CaptainCox's CBS mod.
BL has a 'Nip_Island folder, I have a jmusic folder serving the same purpose - random music. I make no claim here other than the similarity in file/folder structure.
===========================
BL has a russian random music station with 49 songs. I have a random russian music station with 49 songs. Every song is exactly the same. I downloaded these songs from
http://www.sovmusic.ru/english/alphabet.php?letter=D
Go through the site, there are probably 1000 songs on there from 20th century russia. Not all are world war 2 songs and I did not download all ww2 songs. I hand picked some 200 songs from various parts of the alphabet to download. I then weeded out some 150 songs to come up with the 49 I used. I tried to get a wide variety of musical styles rather than hearing a variation of the same song over and over.
I find it impossible that BL would have picked the same songs I did. I doubt he even knew where those russian songs came from (as he indicated in an earlier post).
There is no event.ini with this russian station as it is just random music, I only claim this as further evidence that he is using my mod as his own. It very well could be a coincidence that he sifted through hundreds of songs and got the same ones I did, but I sincerely doubt that.
At least hat tip tedhealy as these are identical, I spent hours downloading and weeding out these songs, BL did not.
=======================
BL has a superman station
He has 87 files, I have 88. Interesting, let's look at the event.ini

As you notice the same files are played on the same dates at the same time. Not only that, these super man files are not played on their original air dates as indicated in the file names. Yet BL has chosen the exact same dates as I did play these files.
And it goes on like this for all 86 sound files. The exact same. BL's one missing file comes at the end of the war. I played a final superman show in august of 1945, BL does not have this file. I guess he got tired of copying and pasting.
Credit tedhealy
=============================
BL has a Shadow station. I have a Shadow station. This one is different enough that I have no complaint here. Some of the same files are played on the same dates, but he has about double the number of files I have. There are some odd coincidences here and there like a files from pre-war years that are played in in the same month and year between our mods, but it is changed enough that I make no claim. I would only guess he used my mod as a base and added to it and edited it, but that is just a guess.
==========================
BL has a Tokyo station. I have a Tokyo Station. He has a few more files than me and the Japanese audio files that are out there are few and far between. It comes down to the event.ini's again.
Because there were so few tokyo rose sign on/sign off clips out there, I decided to rotate them on a weekly basis. A sign on one week, a sign off the next. There are only about 5 or six of these. He has the exact same random rotation of sign on/sign off's that I do, once again on the same days and times

And it goes on like this the whole war. I used a different sign and sign off randomly, sometimes sign on/sign off 01, sometimes 02, sometimes 03. He has the same order.
I say that is my old tokyo event.ini because there is a sound event that is called that is not in my mod. This produces a CTD when the file is supposed to be played. I fixed this in later versions. BL has the same problem. At this point I'm not going to point out the file, he can find it on his own if he wishes.
Oh, and for some reason he scripts sound events to november of 1945, not sure why on that.
BL did add some of his own work on this, but my mod is the base, credit tedhealy (except when you get a CTD, then curse BL)
===============================
BL has a us_island station/folder. I used to have one in my early version of multistation washington. I abandoned this setup for several reasons. No real complaints here other than further evidence of the similarities of the mods.
==============================
BL has added to the default washington radio station, as have I. He has added some text messages that go along with the radio messages. Some are similar to mine, some are not.
Some examples, BL's at the top, mine at the bottom

And they go on like that. Basically BL just hacked a 7th grade plagarism attempt for many of the text messages. He did add his own it would appear, but many are edited versions of mine. You could aruge that he is summing up the radio broadcast as am I, fine, but it is a nice coincidence considering the body of evidence of his past swipings.

Notice the same as before, different file names(but same files) played on the same dates and times. Also notice per the file names, not all files are played on their original air dates, yet BL has managed to play his files on the same day I did. Imagine that?
Again, the whole file is like this. He has missed a few files I had, but I'd guesstimate a 95 to 99% match. Perhaps these were files I added in a later version, I'm not sure on that.

He got sneaky on this one. Some of the stations names are different, but he left the frequencies the same (not to mention the format of xx 111.11 xx), and many of the latitude/longitude/station power are the same. The lat and longitude are not necessarily at the correct location on the map, BL has copied them straight from me.
EDIT I provided the latest example of my radio.ini where I dropped the values after the decimal places in latitude/longitude, but many are the same. BL HAS edited some of the lats/longs himself for some new locations.
He did change MusicVolumeOnNews.
See
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=109256
for the work I put in on this.
Granted, the station names and frequencies do differ between our radio.inis, but it is pretty obvious he copied mine, then edited it as his own.
This one I dont' mind too much, but at the very least a hat tip to me would be nice. One, for coming up with the "magic slahses" for sound events for different stations pulled from the same folder would be nice. I doubt BL stumbled on this himself. And two, for the general format he used of dividing up the stations
See
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...=108863&page=2
for explanation of magic slash
At least a hey thanks tedhealy for the work you put in on the radio.ini would be nice.
