CBS radio mod question

[MarshalLaw]

Hello All,

I have D/L the mod and installed, when I play that freq, I hear either news etc. however in the background I hear music, or news. It would be like crosstalk you would hear on a AM radio station late at night. Is this normal for this mod? Please advise, if so it's a very cool and realistic feature.

thanks

Navigate to your /Data/Sound/Radio folder and open up the radio.ini file. Find the section for the CBS News channel, and paste in this text at the end of the entry: MusicVolumeOnNews=0.1.

To get rid of the music, which is coming from tracks in the station folder, you need to edit your radio.ini as follows:

[CHANNEL]
Name=Music
Folder=music
Freq=25
Antenna=01.01.1930-01.01.2000:60.00,33.00:100000
;MusicVolumeOnNews takes values from 0.01 to 1
MusicVolumeOnNews=0.01

The imporytant line is "MusicVolumeOnNews=0.01". That cuts the random music, and leaves the scripted content from the events.ini file playing out loud and clear. When the news is over, the random tracks will be r4estored.

Thanks for the input Von, and Luke. I was wondering the same thing. One other quick one. Does this need to be done while in port as if I was installing a new mod, or can it be done while at sea without messing things up? TIA

You can do it anytime, in port or at sea. It's a basic setting.

Hello all,

Ok I looked for this ini file but I do not see it. Is it the config file that opens in notepad? Other than that I see nothing else in the radio file other than sound files. Please advise.:hmm:

thanks,

Thats the one
C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific\Data\Sound\Radio

radio.Configuration Settings (.ini)

Sorry to go OT, but does anyone know the cause of the occasional appearance of Alvin and the Chipmunks (high speed music) in my radio?

Thanks

It's random as far as I know. Sometimes you'll get stuff played at a very slowwwww speed too. I had a hunch it might have to do with the encoding/compression on the file, but I couldn't find any pattern to it.

[Von Manteuffel]

Same here and it's often not the same track every time. Sometimes they play fine, at other times at double speed. Odd!!!! For me it doesn't happen too often, so I just switch stations to one that's OK

Hello all,

Did the fix to the config file, works ok now. Thanks for the info Also I'll check on the slow and fast speed deal if I see it as well I'll post.

Thanks again for the info mates.......
