I was somehow able to force this into an active save on accident. TLDR troubleshooting a different mod, deleted cache and unsubbed/resubbed a couple times and the last time I did NOT have this mod. Load game, radio man has all the options, no audio. Download the mod and load it, have audio in a save that was 40+ hours deep, no issues

P sure you can force radio mods into savegames if you
1. Sub/Load mod
2. Load save game
3. Unsub/delete mods
4. Delete caches, data sheets, and mod folders
5. Resub and reload mods
6. Not flight of the valkyries and therefore +4 morale both in and out of game

Thanks for the quick response, many thanks for that -- the Silent Running was the immersion breaker for me, so if it stops playing when running silent that is great, thanks for the edit changes too. I'll see how it goes.

@Harag
This mod disables, that alarm will turn off the radio. Silent Running will still turn off the radio.
If you want that alarms also turn off the radio, like silent running follow this steps:
Open ModifySpeakerSystem.cs in Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\494840\3342143865\Source with text-editor and remove following lines:

[HarmonyPatch(typeof(SpeakerSystem))]
[HarmonyPatch("PlayerShipProxy_AlarmStarted")]
public static class SpeakerSystem_PlayerShipProxy_AlarmStarted_Patch
{
public static bool Prefix()
{
return false; // Überspringe die Originalmethode, damit die Musik nicht ausgeschaltet wird
}
}


Make sure you exactly only remove this 10 lines, with the last } standing. or you will brake the code.

Out of curiosity, I remember last time I played (before release) when I was listening to the radio stations I downloaded and the music, the one thing that I hated is when I went into alarm / silent running it would still be playing, It really broke the immersion and I had to manually go stop it.

I was wondering if this mod will turn it off at those times, and if not, is it possible to mod it into the game ?

Excellent!

Yes everytime I upload an update, steam will replace your edited files. But good news: I don´t plan any updates any time soon. Also: The game only gathers the values when you start a new game. So If you start a new game with your values, you can change the values in the file as mutch as you want and the game will ignore it, till you start a new one again.

@MaGlas,
Hell yeah! Thanks man!
1 question: Would I have to do this every time you updated the Mod?

@Flash Gordon,

you can edit the value in the Strenght column. I think with Strenght 30 you can listen to all stations over the world. There could be a problem, that there are too many radio stations in the dropdown list to select, so they go out of the screen (you need to reduce your UI scale to fix that)
Also for this changes to work ingame, you have to start a new game.

Love it! I just wished it had unlimited range. I don't get to listen to Athens except in the Med. And Cuba is very cool, but dam, range sucks.

Amazing Radio mod. Well done. Great historical stuff here. Thanks for making this.

@Maglasm cool, was thinking same :) looking forward to the new DLC and this.

@Harag,
I think that would be better.

Just found out about this mod, not played the game a long time, and looking to have another playthrough when the DLC comes out -- I already have a few radio station mods, should I uninstall them ?

Wow, im impressed you even found this stuff.

@ Dolqus
I love the song La Mer and would have added it, if it wasnt released 1946, 1 year after the war. I want to keep an realistic approach to it, so keeping post war songs out of it. But you can add it yourself without an problem. Just download an .mp3 file from it and place it in this folder: Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\494840\3342143865\Assets\Radio\France\Music\1941-1944

I love this mod, please consider adding "Charles Trenet - La Mer" to the songs (France, 1941 - 1944)

Hah, thanks for the clarification. The mod is very appreciated though. I do appreciate the immersion.

@BEO2-Raziel, listening to Irish music close to ireland, dressing your crew in green, put on an fake irish accent wont make you any sneakier in the game. You are still in an german uboat. If you play music, you produce noise, so enemy ships might detect you a little sooner, than without. The only advantage you get is an boost in crew moral.

Is it safe for me to assume that despite what station I'm listening to, it has no gameplay advantage of being less likely to be detected? Like say, what I'm doing right now, listening to an Irish station while in Irish waters. So enemy ships will still detect despite what I'm listening to? Even if that's not the function of the mod, I'll still do stuff like that for flavor, lol. But a clarification would be nice. That and perhaps even implementing such a feature.

@NoFede_NoParty,
I build into an old 1930s radio (Minerva S2W) an micro-computer and printed all the radio stations from "World War Radio" to the selection dial. It plays after every 8 music tracks news and with an dial at the back I can select between early war/ middle war/ late war/ christmas.
Helps me to play "World War Radio" without opening the game and switching the stations with an real dial is quite "immersive" ^^ (with an radio tuning sound effect when switching stations)

First time ever i leave a comment on steam. As an Italian who likes WWII military history i say to you that i'm lunching the game with this mod just to listen to the radio station as background music. Excellent work bro

@millnate,
if you want the record scratching sound back, open this file:
RadioRangeChecker.cs
and remove this line:

// Überprüfen und Verhindern des Abspielens von "record needle scratch"
foreach (AudioSource audioSource in FindObjectsOfType<AudioSource>())
{
if (audioSource.isPlaying)
{
var clip = audioSource.clip;
if (clip != null && clip.name == "record needle scratch")
{
audioSource.Stop();
PlayTurnOffSoundEffect();
}
}
}
}

@MaGlas, I really love this mod. Back in the day, it used to play a record scratching sound and stop the radio when the alarm was sounded. I’d love to buy you a coffee if you brought that back. You told me how to stop the music automatically when the alarm sounded, but I miss the record scratching sound. Haven’t figured out how to do that myself. Thanks!

Thank you so much for this mod! works well! brings the vibe

@luridiryx
When it downloads, it should show up, in you steam download tab, just like a gameupdate.
Maybe try restarting steam/ or your computer?
When the mod is downloaded, you should find a folder called: 3342143865 in this file path:
\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\494840

What does it mean if I dont see this populating the Mods section of my launcher after subscribing? I have also started the game several times. Is it because its 10GB? It doesnt download with any kind of feedback download bar (nor any mod do that) right? So is it possible it just is downloading silently for multiple game cycles and still has more GB to go?

Thanks!

Is it possible to activate the mod without starting a new game?

good~

Agreed. It's been working better lately, and I love it. Maybe it takes a couple of times loading for things to "fall into place" or something. I hope they keep up the great work, hands down an amazing mod! Strongly recommended.

this is the biggest mod there is

this needs some time

maybe the mod needs updated like mines

Sometimes it works, and crashes the game. Sometimes it doesn't work at all and no crash. Started a new campaign each time to attempt solving the crashes but it's too inconsistent.

Leider nein. Vielleicht hilft aber diese Mod bei deinem Problem:
"Radio in 3D view"

MaGlas ....sehr schöne Mod...Kann man die Lautstärke der Mod erhöhen,sodass man die Musik und die Nachrichten lauter hören kann?ich empfinde die als zu leise wenn ich auserhalb des BOOTes bin auf See.

It's a great mod and quite well done but I wish the news was a bit more common... hearing a news broadcast is like winning the lottery with this mod

hey thank you for the idea, I'll try that. I had another one that could solve my issue but it's outside the scope of this mod, it will be a playlist button that appear on the interface with the fonction to switch channel to track quickly the one we want to hear.

@Darbund
in: Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\494840\3342143865\Assets\Radio you will find all the audio files. They are named after author, songname and year of release.

@JazzMano
There isn´t an real value you can change, to change the posibility of news. The only way to increase the chance for more news, is to create copys of the news files, so they are more of them in the folder. This way the chance gets higher, that one of them will play. You will find the files in the path I posted above. Search all countrys for a folder called "Broadcast". Copy/past all .ogg files to create a copy.

Can you see the song names anywhere? Maybe in the files or a playlist? I'm really into this type of music and would love to listen it on my headphones when I'm not playing Uboat

Excelent mod, still working well.
If you are still around, is it possible on the user side to change something to have less music and more feed news/commentating ?
Or having a in-game notification when there is news feed on one of the channel ? Thank you !

Hej. I subscribed to the mod, but it doesn_t show up in my launcher's modlist. Tried un- and resubbing but didn't help sadly.

please dont raise the volume, vanilla radio is unusable due to its eardrum shattering volume when using First Person

Great Mod!

can you make a streamer safe copyright free version?

loving this mod. Is there any way to increase the radio volume such that it can be heard from outside the boat? The only way to enjoy it at its fullest seems to be in the cabin views only...

would it be possible to automate the channel switch when beyond the range of certain nations radio channels, so on example if i were to leave germany with german radio playing, once i get to northern UK, itd switch to UK radio channel instead of just stopping

Luv this mod, it's a must have.

great mod!

Well, I'm installing this one!
