[WIP] New Radio stations: 5SC Glascow, PCPT Moscow, + more.

[Bramtyr]

I am considering doing additional US stations - a New Orleans/Baton Rouge-based station with ragtime, blues, and zydeco would be sweet. I have a pretty decent library of that stuff. Consider it added to the shortlist, Mobucks!

Here's that catch- my pc is on the fritz and I don't have a copy of SH5 yet, and wont for at least another few weeks. So I'm not able to actually test the mods, and I'll need some outside help with a few things:

-I still need someone to confirm whether vbr (variable bit-rate) mp3s will play properly in the SH5 engine.

-All radio stations have an accompanying text file, which lists the map location & range of the station, preceeded by the air-dates
for example this is Ziem's Paris station mod:
"Antenna=01.01.1930-01.01.2000:44.16,-35.10:100000"

I'll need the locations for Glasgow, Amsterdam, Le Harve, Rome, Berlin, Moscow, oh and New Orleans

Might I suggest including Radio Luxemburg? It's one of the earliest commercial stations in Europe.

It would also open up some interesting possibilities. Until the German occupation it broadcast in French and in English. During the occupation it hosted the infamous Lord Haw Haw. And then after the Liberation it continued broadcasts in German to spread allied propaganda (Radio 1212)

Another interesting station was Kurzwellensender Atlantik, another allied station that was specifically intended for U-boat crews.

There is currently a 'Radio Paris' mod which should contain some MP3's that will give you an idea about what will work in SH5.

I'll be more than happy to volunteer to test your radio stations. Just upload your stuff and email/message me a download link. I'll let you know if/what works and what doesn't.

This sounds fantastic. Can't wait for the release!

If you can, find broadcasts from "Radio Königsberg". It was a nazi station sending propaganda in Swedish directed towards Sweden (obviously) .

On the English side I found this website featuring MP3 with "Lord Haw Haw"

Here below is a website featuring information on radio transmissions during the war with a few snippets:

Good luck!
