I am a big fan of this mod and the fact that this mod is not updating has been bugging me for a long time. Recently I just started learning C++ and SFSE development, so I thought it’d be nice to take updating this mod as a small practice. Fortunately, I successfully compiled the project and updated it to work with the latest (1.8.88) game version. I asked in the original mod posts section if I could reupload without permission issues. The answer I got is yes and no problem, so here this mod is. But still, if you think there is a permission issue, please let me know. I would still suggest all of the users go to the original mod page, download that outdated file, and endorse the original mod author since it’s all his work. I’m still learning C++ and SFSE development so probably not capable of adding new functions or fixing bugs yet, the future updates will mainly be recompiling to fit the new SFSE and new game version. If someone else is more experienced in C++ and would like to take on this project, please do, the mod will be better on your hand.
Ver 1.5.0 Update: Now have a fully functional radio system! All channels will start at a random time spot (not at the beginning as in the previous versions) when the game starts and they will play in the background. That means the time will also run for those channels that are not currently playing!
Starfield Galactic Radio 1.0.4+ requires Address Library for SFSE Plugins! Get it here or in the requirements drop down.
NEW STATION FROM STARFIELDRADIO.COM “RADIO ACTIVE” INCLUDED (1.0.4+)
NEW STATION FROM STARFIELDRADIO.COM “THE DUST” INCLUDED
Windows Only (Untested on Steam Deck)
DESCRIPTION
Starfield Galactic Radio adds a personal radio and podcast player to Starfield, with customizable controls and playlist. Play local files or supply URLs to streaming radio.
The default playlist features FIVE stations from starfieldradio.com (NOTE: I am not the author of starfieldradio.com, and this mod does not contain any files from the site, all credit for the default stations goes to starfieldradio.com).
Example configuration, fully commented, including a key code map for gamepad and keyboard is included, see GameRoot\Data\SFSE\Plugins\StarfieldGalacticRadio.toml. Gamepad key codes are untested.
Starfield Galactic Radio’s player plays independently of the game audio, allowing it to continue through menus, loading screens, and even ALT+TAB. Pausing/play via keyboard media keys is untested but should also work. Keyboard media volume controls work but are independent of the plugin’s volume tracking and so will cause it to become out of sync (volume up/down or toggle radio to reset internal volume tracking).
COMPATIBLE MODS (STATIONS)
Make sure to read the description for configuring your .toml!

PLAYLIST
Included StarfieldRadio.com Playlist
Playlist = [
"StarfieldRadio.com - The Black Box With Willy Kino|https://audio.jukehost.co.uk/j1lLpnqe9unGq2ejot557wgdISvdjoyr",
"StarfieldRadio.com - Sol Train: Music from the 3rd Rock|https://audio.jukehost.co.uk/1uJEVLDZQkXH7vruCl1Ar7y9oCVlIdBd",
"StarfieldRadio.com - Nocturna - Music of the Ancients|https://audio.jukehost.co.uk/I0AABbN0djCvXxPmIGqZZ884Sd8VlJkx",
"StarfieldRadio.com - The Dust|https://audio.jukehost.co.uk/9dXuUtOqDhk9YQ5sxEtRS0S0Lh14egLH"
]
The playlist is contained in the StarfieldGalacticRadio.toml file in GameRoot\Data\SFSE\Plugins. List local files (ensure they are in the tracks folder in StarfieldGalacticRadio folder) or URLs to mp3s or streams.
KNOWN ISSUE: There may be a bug in the handling of file names listed without the optional name. For now, make sure to give your tracks an optional name, like this:
Playlist = [
"My Track Name|filename.mp3",
]
URLs are supported instead of local files, though not all media is supported (YouTube videos, for instance, do not work).
KEYBINDS (DEFAULT)
A visual example of the default key map is included in this mod’s images.
Toggle Radio On/Off – Numpad 0
Switch Mode (Radio/Podcast) – Numpad –
Volume Up – Numpad 9
Volume Down – Numpad 6
Next Station – Numpad 8
Previous Station – Numpad 7
Seek Forward (1s) – Numpad *
Seed Back (1s) – Numpad /
CUSTOMIZING KEYBINDS
See the .toml for a list of key code values. Defaults and what each does is listed in the .toml. So if you want to change toggle to Numpad 5, look for VK_NUMPAD5 and replace ToggleRadioKey=0x60 with the code from VK_NUMPAD5, which is 0x65.
MODES
There are two modes of operation in Starfield Galactic Radio: Radio and Podcast.
Podcast functions like any media player, audio is only started when the radio is toggled on.
Radio can (optionally, disabled by default, change AutoStart to true in .toml to enable) start when the game starts, in addition to being able to start at a random time in the track (disabled by default, change RandomizeStartTime to true in .toml to enable).
INSTALLATION
Install manually or via mod manager (StarfieldRadio.dll, StarfieldGalacticRadio folder and .toml go inside Data\Plugins\SFSE). Local station or podcast files should be placed inside the StarfieldGalacticRadio\tracks folder in the SFSE\Plugins folder. Formats other than MP3 are untested but should work.
SFSE REQUIRED
