[REL] Intercontinental Radio Pack

Carotio · 02-19-09, 02:06 PM

I have compiled a huge pack of radio stations, 10 to be exact.
Those who wish to try it out, can join my own forum and download it.

Link to all my SH4 mods:
http://www.silenthuntermods.com/foru...php?board=10.0

INFO
Some of them, you think you know allready, but they have been reworked heavily.
Some are just made to add something not really done yet.

IMHO.

So what's in it?

I have made 3 German radio stations:
****************************
Berlin:
music is mostly only German music and it's a mix of normal music, some national inspired music and military marches. 105 tracks
radio is only German radio broadcasts. 90 tracks

Hamburg:
music is both popular German music and some foreign music. 51 tracks
radio is mostly in English - some propaganda, a few messages, which were not really acceptable in 3rd Reich (defaitive ones) and a few foreign ones (French, Italian). 116 tracks

Wien (Vienna):
music is music from 1910 till 1938. 219 tracks
radio is the music from 1939 till 1945 appearing at the end of the year - november/december - towards Christmas Eve. 130 tracks.

I have also made one French radio station:
********************************
Paris:
music tracks: 58 tracks
radio events: 28 tracks
This French station will represent the official France, and not Vichy France. Thus it will broadcast speeches of De Gaulle from the Free French and resistance encrypted messages, but it maintains its name of the capital of France.

For the American skippers, there's radio additions too:
****************************************
I have added both music and more events to Washington:
music tracks: 25 tracks
radio events: 102 tracks, of which the 16 tracks are music

And finally, from Japan:
******************
I have added one Tokyo channel with:
traditional music: 33 tracks
radio events: 10 tracks

All of the above is made in the ogg format instead of mp3. Old habit from SH3. The ogg seamed to run more smoothly than mp3.
Besides, less chance to have trouble with hosts, when hosting ogg rather than mp3, even packed in rar.

In the pack, there's also the following radio mods:
*************************************
BBC (166 original radio events)
CBS NEWS (version 1+2 mixed) (162 original events)
Hollywood (146 original radio events, no music)
Radio Honolulu (106 original radio music tracks)

If you allready have those, you may want to delete them. But those 4 radio stations are however now converted to ogg and fully reworked. :-)
I have found sources with more radio events, so I have updated all radio stations with more music and radio events:

BBC: +42 more event tracks
CBS NEWS: +114 more event tracks, of which many are from NBC, thus renaming this station to CBS-NBC. Some of the original events were not in the events.ini file. That is fixed. Some original events have been replaced with longer better version. And in overall, the schedule in events.ini has been reworked in order to fit in all the new events.
Hollywood: +3 more music tracks as radio events and +17 music tracks for when there ain't no events (before just silence/noice).

So reworked, it looks like this:
BBC: 67 music tracks + 208 radio events
CBS-NBC: 43 music tracks + 227 radio events
Hollywood: 17 music tracks + 149 music tracks made as radio events
Radio Honolulu: 106 music tracks, no radio events

I have to say that I did not ask all of the above mentioned modders for permission to use "their" files, simply because I very much doubt that any of them OWN the copyright to the sound files. But I mention them as sources nevertheless. Some have provided files to me for this project by request.
Besides for the above mentioned radio mods: BBC and CBS-NBC, I have found a rich source in this site as well:
Golden Age of Radio : World War II News Broadcasts
Which I have used to update the German channels, plus BBC and CBS-NBC.
I have got a lot of the events and music from other sources like CDs and websites, but I don't recall the names or adresses right now.

Hey, sweet. Can I just use the music and tracks you labeled for the American skippers?

Sure, go ahead.
You can remix as you want.

I got downloaded (finally) and it looks good. It contains many of the other radio mods out there, but with added content to build them into more than they were. It has radio for both Atlantic and Pacific Theaters, I simply dropped in the stations of interest to me (in this case I left out the German & French as I've only been playing PTO to date).

Overall appears to be very good, check it out.

cgjimeneza · 03-09-09, 03:44 PM

this is a copy of a post in FFred´s radio station thread, but he says he has no experience with multiple SH4 installs, so here it is (taking advantage of your radio release (so sorry) )...

so here it goes:

I dont know if its has been done.

is it possible to have the radio files in a single directory? and redirect the particular (multi sh4) installs to make use of it?

I have 4 diff installs and in each I have a BIG radio directory, but I figure: if I put the audio files in one place, I can then have all the radio stations there and not have to choose which ones to install....

yes, theres a limit on HDs...

comments?

Carotio · 03-09-09, 04:26 PM

Well, since the radio.ini file is in the folder whereunder all the radio channels are put as subfolders, it reads them like this:

[CHANNEL]
Name=BBC
Folder=BBC
Freq=34
Antenna=01.01.1930-01.01.1946: 51.45,-0.12:100000
MusicVolumeOnNews=0.01

I have no idea if it would work, but maybe if someone keeps the additional radio stations in one place, like C:\Games\SH4\Radiostations, so if one edited the radio.ini file into this:

[CHANNEL]
Name=BBC
Folder=C:\Games\SH4\Radiostations\BBC
Freq=34
Antenna=01.01.1930-01.01.1946: 51.45,-0.12:100000
MusicVolumeOnNews=0.01

Radio Washington would remain where it is as it's a default channel, but all else.
I have no idea if this would work, but if yes, then it would save all of us some HD space. So...

who's up for testing?
