[REL] Radio Stations and Music Mod - Page 19

I've added Radio Vladivostok and a set of Russian songs. See the first post for details.

This particular station almost drove me batty (or rather, battier than I am already

). First off was trying to translate everything from Russian (thank God for that Firefox add-on I found!); then the mp3s for the scripted events refused to play in the station! So I converted them all to OGG, and they would play then. But then..... every time it would leave the scripted file and go back to the music, the music would be messed up!! A couple of times the song was sped up, but all the other times they were very slow. When that song would finally finish, the next one would fine. Until another scripted event played.

So I converted all the music to OGG too, and now everything seems to work fine.

I hope.

I've added a set of French music files. See the first post for details.

Now you don't have to listen to the same songs over and over and over and over and over and over and over again using the Radio Saigon mod.

I doubt that, because Saigon isn't one of my stations. Ziem created it, I'm just mirroring it. Also, including too much music limits where it can be uploaded to. That's why I didn't include the music in my new Russian station.

I've added an add-on for the KHJ Radio mod. See the first post for details.

fred8615 · 06-24-10, 09:59 AM

I've created a second set of PSA's. See the first post for details.

Replied to the PM he sent, but I wanted to post here too.

The file is available at two other sites. See the first post in the thread. Also, FF has always acted wonky from time to time. Eventually it will straighten up. But if you can't wait, just use one of the other sites.

BtS Mods does require registration to view and download, but Silenthunter Mods doesn't, at least for the radio stations.

BTW, I may have found another site to upload to. It's called Mediafire (http://www.mediafire.com). It's ad supported for the free access, but it's unlimited upload and download too, and you can use an accelerator for downloads. And they don't seem to care about what you upload either, based on what I've been downloading from them, so I could upload the music too. The only problem is for a free account you're limited to 200 MB file sizes, and all my stuff is in 256. I'd have to redo them, and that would mean more files to download. But I am seriously considering it.

And finally, someone sent me a PM about torrenting the files. For various reasons that's just not an option.

haz · 07-06-10, 08:55 AM

thank you for your pm,will try other sites as well,yeah i know ff is usually a pain.thanks again

For some reason when I open up the .ini file using notepad and edit the file it will not let me save the file so I can add the station. Is this a Vista issue or did I miss something in the instructions? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Where did you install the game? If it was the default "C:/Program Files/" etc., or the 64 bit default folder, then yeah you have a problem. As part of the security features of Vista (and Win 7), you can't make changes to files inside those folders, especially Windows system files like .ini. If this is what you did, you have three options:

1 - Uninstall the game, then reinstall someplace else. It can be any other place on your C drive, or even better a second hard drive. Wherever you install to, as long as it's not the default "Program Files" folder, you can then edit the file.

2 - Turn off User Account Control. This should fix it, but I'm not positive. It will make your computer less secure though.

3 - Right click on the original file, or the folder it's in, or even the "Ubisoft" folder itself, then click on the "Security" tab. Then click the "Edit" button for the permissions, select each listed "Group or user names" and check the "Full Control" box. After doing all the groups, click "Apply." This should allow the file to be edited.

I really recommend you do #1 if at all possible. It solves all sorts of problems, and doesn't screw anything else up.

As you guessed it is in the default location so in the Program Folder (64bit) and that is giving me the problem.

As soon as I have finished up this patrol I am on I will uninstall and reinstall on a second hard drive that I have attached to the PC.

What if I for the time being just move the SH4 folder out of the Program Folder? Can I drag this to the other hard drive or will I break something if I do that?

Thanks again for you help... looking forward to getting radio workin on my sub.

Bull,
you can drag it to say C:\Program Files (x86)\.. but you will need to either create a shortcut on your desktop or use the one already there to change the start options Just right click the shortcut and select properties then select the shortcuts tab and change the dialogue boxes nest to target and start in: to reflect the drive and folders you moved it to.

Target: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific\sh4.exe"

Start in: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific"

where it was originally D:\Program Files\..\..\ i just changed the D to C and added the (x86) and it works fine

Or just drag the "Ubisoft" folder.

I didn't even think of that method.
