Radio system

[Steel]

I don't fully understand how the loudspeakers and radios on vehicles work. Firstly it instructs to add .wavs to the music folder, I assumed it meant in the games files but didn't find any there, so then I tried my music folder which also did not work. I gave up and downloaded workshop mod.

But the workshop mod is also not playing? I will try the others before clarifying on this point, but I'm just very curious about the system. The idea of playing stuff over a loudspeaker is immersive, especially if it's like the messages about detaining infected. Or is it just replacing the in-games music and I've misunderstood what the system is?

There is a bug that breaks this we are working on it at the moment. It allows you to play music from your vehicles and speakers you build that you can put into a certain folider for them to play

Oh I didn't know about that bug, guess that's why it wasn't working. Where is that folder though? The games directory?

The Music System has been fixed and expanded to support FLAC ,MP3's and WAV files. It will be packaged in the next build for public beta and public build!

Why not have the radio function actually have an active mechanic for the game like buffing/debuffing or even informing future civilians in the game?

At the moment it's purely for fun. In polish your music/sounds you play will draw attention to you

Playing Red March and watching a horde flooding nice.

Ride of the Valkyrie on your army of little birds maybe?

If they could napalm or gun down an area it would be interesting. Idea for napalm and A-10 Warthog/Thunderbolt.

I love the radio system, this is exactly what I wanted thank you!

Playing Kane's Speech in the middle of the base while your troops get buffed up and ready to kick some Zombie ass. Before playing Hells March [Version 2 for RA2] and blasting enemies away. The Speaker System is a fantastic idea, I am glad the Devs put that in.
