if you get an overwrite message you're right, something is wrong

Ok but now I'm totally confused...

I downloaded parts 1-4....

Now how do I install the 4 seperate .rar files, exactly?

I was just extracting each rar at a time to the the Honolulu radio station.

If you have all four parts in one folder, you should only need to extract Part 1. It will now contain all the relevant files. A peek at the different parts will confirm this.

What he said.

With any multi-part archive, you only need to open/extract from the first one.

Added a More Hawaiian Music file. See the first post for details.

Fred,

First off, many thanks for your work. Incredible.

Anywho, I was wondering if I'm on target here...

My understanding is this... my first patrol is in '41 out of Pearl, I downloaded the Honolulu station only (just to keep it simple and to learn 'the process'). I noticed quite a few news casts from '42-'45. I guess I need to edit them out and place them in another folder outside of the game and just keep the '41 casts in there... otherwise I will here "future broadcasts" that haven't happened just yet?

Also, I downloaded the hawaiin music... do I just drop the songs in the KGM (or whatever the station's letters are) folder and they will play randomly with the newscasts?

Just making sure.

-many thanks!

No, just leave them alone. In the folder with the programs is a file called "events.ini." This file is used by the game to control when these programs will play. They will ONLY play when a specific date and time is reached in the game. So a program for say March 25th, 1942, won't play until then.

Yes. For most of my other stations the music needs to be in the year folders inside the station folder, but for KGMB it's just that folder.

Awesome, many thanks again, Fred.

Something I did notice and unsure of how to go about resolving this...

I hear a 'stock' song playing in the background at ALL times (stock as in- one of the original songs from the stock game that plays in the background)... even when tuned into KGMB its playing... and I can't for life of me get it to stop. I bet it's coming from the gramophone but I tried turning it off and it still plays?

I can live with it, it just makes hearing the news casts from Honolulu that much harder...(I even went into the sound settings and turned down the 'music' tab.)

Any ideas on how to resolve this?

Best regards,
-Dellinger

Try this: Click "Options\Sound Settings" and then uncheck the "Music Volume" box. That will turn the background music off.

Hey Fred, one more thing...

I had to re-install SH4 because I messed up the modding for a few mods. Anyway, I can't seem to fing the correct radio.ini text for the Washington and the Honolulu stations... can you post it?

(I re-downloaded the Honolulu station files again but I still couldn't find the readme file for editing the radio.ini.)

Thank you sir!

Washington is already in the game, so it doesn't need to be edited. Here's the Honolulu info:

*** Generic Frequency ***

[CHANNEL]
Name=KGMB Honolulu
Folder=KGMB
Freq=18
Antenna=01.01.1941-01.01.1946:21.32,-157.87:100000
MusicVolumeOnNews=0.01

*************************

*** Real AM Frequency ***

[CHANNEL]
Name=KGMB Honolulu
Folder=KGMB
Freq=590
Antenna=01.01.1941-01.01.1946:21.32,-157.87:100000

Oh, and don't worry about the curses...I just cursed it back and it shut up (and we greeks have a pretty extensive cursing vocabulary)!

Fast forward almost 5 years: brand new rig at my disposal, fast internet, loads of storage. Bring on the radio stations!

I'm still exchanging curses with my hard drive, though...bad habits die hard!

I've added a set of V-Disc music. See the first post for details.

fred8615 · 08-26-12, 01:02 PM

Added KPO Add-on. See the first post for details.

Anybody knows a song with Hawaian melody and words:

"Each night as darkess follen,
you'll hear the islands calling.
Will you remember Hawaii?"

I am looking for this song for some years now, but with a no succes. Only 29 sec sample.

fred8615 · 08-28-12, 11:54 AM

I've put the multi-part radio stations in separate sub-folders in my Mediafire account. This should make finding and downloading what you want a little easier.
