I do like how you chose to allow jackie to live. she never was confirmed dead, we just assume it because of franks death. but her being baracaded in some tower or nearby building would make sense. also it would be cool If maybe you made it so ham radios could pick up QZ news. Maybe it could be about life in the qz, which cities got protected, and maybe we could even get some insight on how jackie is doing. Maybe she could brodcast from some nearby city like Dayton OH, Akron OH, Columbus OH, Lexington KY, Frankfort KY, Evansville KY, Nashville TN, Memphis TN, Knoxville TN, or even ST. Louis MO. Personally I hope that she made it to the Akron QZ bc if she did that means my mom in this universe could have survived.

can ı add ths to an existing game?

And if you want them to last for even longer, 141 is the maximum you can set the scheduler duration to while still keeping it accurate.

The same also applies to military and raider events among others, as you'll have a higher chance of witnessing the progression and variations in those events (though I would still recommend turning up the frequency for military events especially as it has a lot of progression and variations).

Pro tip: Set your Expanded Helicopter Events scheduler duration to 135 instead of 90. By default, according to their start and cutoff day factors, police and news helicopters will start appearing on day 5 (not counting day 0) when the exclusion zone breaks down. Setting the scheduler duration to 135 will make them start appearing on day 8, which is more accurate to the lore of this mod as the exclusion zone doesn't break down until then. This will also make the helicopter events last for longer. Police and News helicopter events will be scheduled for 21 days after they start, when normally they would be gone after 13. This means they will be less at the mercy of RNG during the limited window of time they have to appear.

Yes

Does this have to be a new save? It is not working for me at all.
MTCsimon Sep 1, 2023 @ 1:48pm 
Does this mod make the radio not be heard?
Clowntrooper Aug 3, 2023 @ 1:22pm 
Thanks for this fantastic mod! Great work! :steamthumbsup:
[REDACTED] Jun 20, 2023 @ 8:42am 
it simply does man, i put it in my friend's server and it works like a charm
Bouncer  [author] Jun 4, 2023 @ 10:17am 
Mind telling me how you got it to work in MP?
Mini Evilness Jun 4, 2023 @ 3:31am 
This mod works and does work in MP, but it conflicts with a lot of other mods.
Bouncer  [author] Jun 3, 2023 @ 1:40pm 
thanks
vaivans Jun 3, 2023 @ 12:43pm 
This only works in SP. I hope the mod's description makes mention of that sometime in the future, so people like me, who likes to play MP with friends, don't waste time restarting servers.
Works flawlessly in SP though. props to the mod's author. The radio channels are well built and written, and it seems that the mod's author spent a lot of time creating this mod.

There are survivors who communicate through one of the stations a few weeks in, I don't remember when exactly and with what radio station, just something you'll have to find (: As for the lightfooted sock thing, it was supposed to give you tailoring, but the software I used to make the mod is super old and outdated, and didn't have a working tailoring or maintenance system, so I had to use other skills in their place. (I didn't know this till after I made the mod and I didn't want to go through the long and tedious task of adding a brand new show to replace fixin' it, especially after I spent many hours looking for things to include in the fixin' it program)
Boshty May 13, 2023 @ 9:43am 
id love one channel thats just like, one grizzled vet survivor who has a few (maybe 2 or 3 lines) each day for the first entire year of gameplay. and its just various tales of what he or his group of survivors have been getting up to so ppl dont feel so alone out there. but its a collection of community stories of ppls games. could be weekend news updates of other survivor groups who had died this week, and its community stories of how our good or epic runs came to a horrible end :p
Acid Green Apr 26, 2023 @ 4:58am 
Never knew repairing holes in socks could make you lightfooted
Bouncer  [author] Apr 25, 2023 @ 6:48pm 
Okay then, glad I wasted your time (:
TheStonedSoldier Apr 25, 2023 @ 6:47pm 
why not letting people know this only works in SP ? wasted time for a lot of people i bet , got you a bad review until something is done
Garfield. Apr 15, 2023 @ 11:23am 
pretty sure it does work with rfm
Bouncer  [author] Apr 15, 2023 @ 11:05am 
idk
Queoxy Apr 15, 2023 @ 5:31am 
does this work with radio frequency manager?
5incerism Apr 8, 2023 @ 1:41pm 
Damn, love the mod but bummed that mumbling is deactivated. even if u try to remove the mumbling through deleting the script it will result in the music not working
Bouncer  [author] Apr 3, 2023 @ 9:05pm 
Thank you very much!
Void🌹 Apr 3, 2023 @ 8:54pm 
The writing in this is fantastic. I honestly forgot I had it installed and thought the devs added new lore in some update I didn't notice.
Bouncer  [author] Mar 2, 2023 @ 10:40pm 
The music should start every 30 minutes

Can I ask for the tv schedule?
Bouncer  [author] Mar 2, 2023 @ 2:26pm 
Safe? Yeah, will it work? Probably not
JuhnWeak Mar 1, 2023 @ 10:28pm 
is it safe to add in mid game?
Bouncer  [author] Feb 8, 2023 @ 3:05pm 
Ah, didn't know. Unfortunately having a mumbling tick box is beyond my modding capabilities
Vinbee Feb 8, 2023 @ 2:46pm 
I forgot to mention, I did try out right deleting the "sounds_RadioTalkOverride.txt" but once I started up the server, it gave me an error saying it was missing that file.

I'm guessing I would have to disable "LuaChecksum" on the server, but that opens up a possibly different can of problems in the future if I did, I really rather not have to do that.

Apologies again, hopefully my request is simple enough to do. :rbrb4:
Vinbee Feb 8, 2023 @ 2:41pm 
Could you possibility make the "Lowered\Removed TV mumbling" optional? Maybe as a server\mod tick-box?

The problem is, this mod essentially mutes any other mods that modifies the basegame "mumbling" such as Anime TV and Cartoon TV

If it's not to much work to do, I would greatly appreciate it, since I would really like to use this mod in conjunction with the other mods without having them outright muted.

Sorry if it's a hassle. :rbrbr1:
Bouncer  [author] Feb 8, 2023 @ 2:04pm 
Yes, the mumbles are removed using a file in the scripts folder, just delete that file and they should come back, no coding necessary. I'm glad you enjoyed it, and if you didn't notice, I slipped some Romero Dawn of the Dead references in there :)
Pajama Mage Feb 8, 2023 @ 1:50pm 
As with other folks, i've been using this mod since you released it and can confidently say I absolutely love it. Having lore to catch on your off time really livens the world. It would be amazing to see this continued out even further. Have some Romero's Dawn of the Dead TV scenes months into the apocalypse were the broadcasters have given up hope and are just shooting random theories while drunk on the air.

Also, is there a way to add the mumbles back in from TV and the radio? I actually love them and sorely miss it. IDK if it would just be a line of code I could add into a file?

Anyways, love the mod and thanks for the hardwork.
Garfield. Feb 8, 2023 @ 1:39pm 
tried adding radio stations i found on a radio to another radio cannot do it due to the frequencies having extra numbers at the frequency for example crazy hits fm has .431 at the end of it and i cant manually put that on a radio
BDZ1972 Feb 8, 2023 @ 1:19pm 
Been using this for a few weeks now and I see no reason not to use it permanently (I always use EHE as well) - This is a very nice mod that adds loads more flavour to the PZ Pizza!

Plays well with the other TV show mods I use as well - Looking forward to seeing future updates on this. Excellent work!.:steamthumbsup:
Forest Feb 6, 2023 @ 7:29pm 
I'll start up another server later and see what happens. Might be worth looking at Survivor Radio's methods of making it work as well since it was able to work in MP, albeit with a ton of errors.
Bouncer  [author] Feb 6, 2023 @ 5:25pm 
music part I mean, unless it's working for you, it didn't work when me and my brother were testing it
Forest Feb 6, 2023 @ 10:00am 
Doesn't work in multiplayer as in period or the music part? Because we've been using it and every change you made was reflected on our MP server. It's not a dedicated server, but still
Bouncer  [author] Feb 5, 2023 @ 7:04pm 
You can find it in the game's files... too time consuming for me to do gbh
IMNOVIRGIN!!! Feb 5, 2023 @ 5:55pm 
Any chance for a full transcript?
Bouncer  [author] Feb 5, 2023 @ 11:08am 
The radio and TV music stations SHOULD last at least a year, if you don't hear anything, just wait patiently, the music is scheduled to play every 30 in game minutes, so if you don't hear anything, wait until the 30 minute mark. If you're playing multiplayer, this mod doesn't work on multiplayer.
Forest Feb 4, 2023 @ 8:53pm 
Do the music channels on the radio and TV eventually stop playing anything? we're 20 days in and I can't tell if our current save isn't getting music because we need a new world or if it's because we're so far in. We loaded into a cell with a TV that had the channels, but nothing was playing, for reference.
Bouncer  [author] Feb 2, 2023 @ 6:14pm 
Unfortunately you will need to create a new game for the songs to work
Mattchewy Feb 2, 2023 @ 6:11pm 
I was able to get music working on a new save, but my ongoing save doesn't seem to have the updated channels and music. How would I be able to update it without having to start over?
