[REL] Radio Stations and Music Mod

[kylesplanet]

Just tried it and it is working. Thanks Fred, you have a lot to maintain and I cant begin to tell you the enjoyment these radio mods have brought me. The game wouldnt be the same without them.

hey guys im looking for an english radio mod.. i downloaded many radio stations from SH4 like bbc station or trans-atlantic station but they are not working on my SH5 v.1.2 i tried everything but only Grossdeutcher Rundfunk is working fine but i want an englsih station ! i need help ! thank you

All of Fred's stuff will work in Sh5.... But most "Events" are dated for Sh4, ie,, 1940's.
I have several of his stations running in Sh5, and have composed a couple of my own, so I know they will play fine.
If you are having trouble, it is probably with the "Installation".

Try this :

Goto **xxx\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\data\Sound\Radio** Folder.
In there will be the Radio Station Folders and a file named "radio.ini"
For a Quick and Dirty Test, Create a NEW Folder and Name it "My Station".
Copy a few songs, News, radio shows or whatever into your new folder "My Station". ( One Song is enough for our test.... I use MP3, or ogg formats... both seem to work for me.)
Now Open the file "radio.ini" that should be in the fore stated **xxx\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\data\Sound\Radio** Folder. ( Use NotePad to open. )
It will look something like this :

[GENERAL]
RadioRealism=Yes
StartCh=1

[CHANNEL]
Name=Washington
Folder=Washington
Freq=22
Antenna=01.01.1930-01.01.2000:44.16,-35.10:100000
MusicVolumeOnNews=0.01

Now we will add your NEW Test Station by adding this :

[CHANNEL]
Name=My Station
Folder=My Station
Freq=32
Antenna=01.01.1930-01.01.2000:44.16,-35.10:100000
MusicVolumeOnNews=0.01

When finished it should look like this :

[GENERAL]
RadioRealism=Yes
StartCh=1

[CHANNEL]
Name=Washington
Folder=Washington
Freq=22
Antenna=01.01.1930-01.01.2000:44.16,-35.10:100000
MusicVolumeOnNews=0.01

[CHANNEL]
Name=My Station
Folder=My Station
Freq=32
Antenna=01.01.1930-01.01.2000:44.16,-35.10:100000
MusicVolumeOnNews=0.01

Save and close.... then go try it in Game.
Your Station will be on Freq. 32, so dont forget to tune to that Freq.

Any Help ?

I can't help you with SH5 cause I don't play it.

Just looked at this mod for the first time...

...Gonna have to get a new drive just for this mod alone! A sound mod of epic proportions! Sounds great, though. Will have to DL when I have the extra storage space.

Thanks for sharing.

I've uploaded an add-on for the AFRS stations. See the first post for details.

Thanks for the comments. Yeah Archive.org is a great resource. Most of the programs and so of the music I use came from them.

Well, I went to download KPO Radio as mine is about 2 to 3 years old, and got parts 1 and 2, but when I clicked on part 3, I got this temporarily unavailable message Fred,

Not sure what's up, but thought I would bring it to you attention.

It's because I've run out of my bandwidth allotment for this month. You can either wait a few days when I automatically get a new allotment (after the 25th), or use Silenthuntermods.

[Hylander_1314]

Ahhhhhhhhhhh, okay Fred. Wasn't sure what was up.

I figured after all this time, I should probably update the radio stations. Just wish I had a better internet service. No highspeed cable out in the boonies.

[Loudspeaker]

Good to see tou are still with us, fred. Right now I am downloading your 1910's music. I intend to install it in grammophone. I believe your instructions will help me just as well, as they did radio.

Thankyou

Honolulu Stations: on Download .rar Parts 1-3 are exactly identical when unzipped and overwrite the same exact files...???

yes, when you split archive into parts, archive is a single file, so all parts will contain entire structure of source, only in smaller parts. that's why you get error when you try extract archive without having all it's parts. files will not be overwrited, but completed
if you get an overwrite message you're right, something is wrong

Added KGMB and KNX Add-ons. See the first post for details.
