Please provide an alternative download link

See mkrco's post above - quote:
EDIT: Ahh, I see Carotio decided to only allow access to people who post or contribute..Can't blame him..

Maybe this is why you do not have authorisiation

[Targor Avelany]

It seems like one of the main problems was SPAM, so you have to post in the anti-spam forum to gain access first.

i still couldt download it

The author of this mod has made wonderful mods taking a lot of work for SH over the years, i feel he has every right to decide how to share his content. And i would rather have the mod AND the music ...deleting the music file seems to defeat the purpose. He says there is info on the DL site for how to make the adjustments. Thank you very much C.

[Admiral Von Gerlach]

OK, I have learned from the mod maker best way to install this is JGSME, and it will also adjust the theme music so it is not playing all the time. Just be sure to use the edited CFG for the music cfg to prevent CDTs. great project, a excellent addition to the game!

First I did like "Nervouspete" wrote earlier:

"If you want this wonderful mod to work in Silent Hunter 5, simply delete the music folder and its music.cfg file - found at ...data\sound\music in the mod directory. Otherwise you get CTD's upon loading the sub-pen."

Then I used jsgme to activate it. Some of the songs I also like to have on my gramophone, so the wanted melodies can easilybe copied, and put into the gramophone folder, like data/sound/gramophone.

Actually I didn't delete the music folder, removed and stored it outside the game folder (where ever u prefer).

[Admiral Von Gerlach]

ah thanks ..

i went in to try it out but could not get the radio to tune to any of the staions...just got static.....all the options i had were upper or lower stations, and Washington was coming in but that was just the default file.

is there a trick to getting the radio to work once the mod is installed? I am still working to figure it out and did not want to bother Lars about it until i had tried.

I have the same problem. Does anyone know why this happens?

[Newinger]

To prevent Spam bots, after registering you have only access to the Spam board. There you have to create an introductory posting (simply saying hello to the others). Once an admin recognizes your posting, he'll grant you access to the rest of the forum.

It seems they are not very active anymore ... would be a shame if this mod is lost

[sparrs]

I agree, it was a great pack. Some of the radio stations are on subsim downloads, but not all, and I forget which ones. CBS is here, BBC etc, but there were several others that were exclusive to this pack IIRC.

Yep. I have that radio pack on my HD, but uploading in anywhere else would be a real PITA: it is composed by 57 rar files, for a total of more than 5 GB of music ...not to mention the fact the we should ask Carotio for permission to re-distribute his pack

On a side note, for a test I have logged in Carotio's website with my old username/password and tried redownloading the mod. Login works, but when I click on the download link, it says:

"The topic or board you are looking for appears to be either missing or off limits to you."

So either this download has been restricted to contributors / active members, or that radio pack isn't available any longer...

Last Carotio's subsim activity was on july:

Nonetheless, the radio pack download page says:

Without my permission.

So re-uploading the mod shouldn't be an issue. Do you know any file hosting service which gives more than 5.37 GB of free space, allowing an uploaded file size of up to 95.3 MB, not limiting daily downloads, and not removing the files after an inactivity of a few weeks?
