Radio broadcast question

tomoose · 06-22-10, 06:14 PM

I've noticed that I have a subfolder in my Radio folder named Washington which also has a subfolder named Events. I'm not sure how to access/activate this as whenever I open the radio I only get the stock music. Trying to change channels gives me a lot of static etc but I don't find the Washington "channel".
What am I doing wrong or what have I missed?

The events folder is for special new items that come out only on the day it happens. You can't tune it in unless its the right day of the year. The Washington folder is what comes with SH4. Not much is included. There are sever mods under Downloads/Sounds under the forum menu that adds plenty more stations, music and special news broadcast.

Oh, but you should get the Washington channel that plays some war music.

You can download some cool stuff from the era at archive.org and place it it the Washington folder- anything in that folder will play when you tune to the station. This place has old time radio shows, news broadcasts, sports, almost anything you could hope to find. A great resource.

Anything in the events folder will play according to the time and date stamp called for in the events.ini file which you can edit yourself if you want to add events.

You can also download some great radio stations that have already been created by some of our great modders around here. Check out the pinned thread for mods in this forum.

Be aware however that anything you put in "Washington" will play randomly. So you really don't want to put anything in there except music, unless you don't mind hearing about the D-day invasion in 1942.

To the OP:

See the link in my sig for radio stations and music. You can also do a search here for "BBC World" for that station created by another user. And as pointed out earlier, there are a few stations available in the download section here.
