ADDING MUSIC TO RADIO MOD TUTORIAL // BUB // V1.0 // 190923


- This is just a workspace where you can organize and rename your sound files
- Sound file must be named correctly or it won't play in the game
- Place sound file in one of the channel folders and rename it. Correct filenames are listed end of this document
- Currently '4 - Radio New Atlantis' is sending only radio interference, so you probably want to make that your personal channel.



_________________________________________________
BASICS:

All radio channels have only certain amount of tracks. However, you can combine multiple tracks into one in Audacity or other program. There is no known file size or track length limit.

Galaxy Music Radio - 6 tracks
Todd Talk - 4 tracks
Pilgrim FM - 6 tracks
Radio New Atlantis (Empty template channel) - 6 tracks
NEON FM - 5 tracks

CONVERTING SOUND FILES TO CORRECT FORMAT (WEM):

Before you start renaming files, I recommend converting audios to .wem.

- Conversion is done with Audiokinetic Wwise. It is available for free here (you dont need those extra wwise plugins): https://www.audiokinetic.com/en/download/
- Tutorial how to convert files with Wwise: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39Oeb4GvxEc&ab_channel=HpXro
- (Optional) If you want play .wems later, use VGMGUI: https://github.com/BENICHN/VGMGUI/releases/tag/1.3.0
- (Optional) Wwise accepts only wavs and handful of other formats. Convert mp3 files to wav in Audacity or other program.



_________________________________________________
RENAMING FILES:

1. Open one of the workspace folders (e.g. 4 - Radio New Atlantis)
2. Place WEM's in folder and rename them 1, 2, 3, 4 ... and so on. Number in batch name indicates how many tracks there can be.
3. Run .bat

Batch file will give audios correct names, for example:
1.wem -> 0032c88d.wem

DOUBLE CHECK NAMES AFTER AFTER RUNNING BATCH FILE: ITS IS UNREALIABLE AF AND WAS MADE QUICKLY JUST FOR MY OWN USE

PRO TIP: If you don't have enough tracks, add empty/static noise audio files to fill the quota. Otherwise vanilla dialog will play.






You can also rename files manually. All audio names in order:

LAST STEPS:

Afer all files have been renamed, copy paste them to mod folder:

Start the game and spawn radio items:

player.additem 10CB4B 1
player.additem 10CB4A 1
