QUESTION regarding Antenna Settings for Radio

SeeFalke · 04-12-07, 07:35 AM

I have been dowloading radio shows left and right and my many thanks for those who have put in the hard work and long hours compiling them. I do however have a question in regards to the radio.ini. What exactly do the numbers in the Antenna line represent? I have figured out that the last set of numbers is the distance you can recieve the transmission from but my problem is with the other stations. I get some but not all until I am at a certain spot in the Pacific. Is there a way to be able to get all radio transmissions all the time no matter where you're at? I know it will take from the realism but I just want to enjoy listening to them as I transit. Can the Antenna line be the same for all stations without causing a conflict as long as the frequencies are 10 apart? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated as I have 7 stations but can only listen to 3 of them.

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

01.01.1930-01.01.2000= the duration of the station
44.16,-35.10= the origin of the transmission in long/lat (or something like that)
100000=the range of the transmission. Set that to 100000 ( i think max) then you should hear all the stations all over

Anntenna range can be set as you want, has nothing to do with interfearing on the frequency

Thanks CaptCox, that is exactly what I was looking for. I'll be keeping an eye on your crew pictures thread. Would be awesome to use it. I just need to learn how to mod now so I can merge them myself as well.

Thanks again for the Radio information.

After Patch 1.2 comes out would somebody please put together an easy to install radio station enhancement package? Something along the lines of Captain Midnight's excellent CBS Broadcast package. It's the one Mod that will dramatically enhance the immersion factor. The radio in SH4 has the scope to be almost indistinguishable from reality, although it would take huge files to simulate that.

Thanks for your time.
