World War Radio

Description
Description
Immerse yourself in an authentic World War II radio soundscape. This mod brings you over 2500 audio files, which, when played consecutively, would run non-stop for over a week. While there are already many radio mods available, let me highlight the key features of this mod:

  • Music Stages: The music played in different countries is divided into various time phases. For smaller countries, these phases include events like the conquest by Germany and the subsequent liberation by the Americans. I have ensured that during the occupation, only music approved by the occupiers is played. For larger countries, the music files are organized by their release years. Each war year adds new music to the playlist that was newly released at that time, while older tracks gradually disappear from the playlist.

  • News Broadcasts: My mod includes not only music but also news and speeches from prominent statesmen broadcast during the war. The news about the war events is usually not played on the exact day but is accurate to the week or month. For very important war events, such as D-Day, the speeches are broadcast on the exact day. So, having some historical knowledge can be beneficial. Unlike other radio news mods, you don’t have to switch on each news broadcast individually and then switch back to the music channel to hear music again. In my mod, the news is automatically mixed with the music.

  • Christmas Events: Another feature of my mod is the Christmas events that take place on the major radio stations. Now you can have the perfect music to accompany your Christmas tree.

  • Advertisements: There are advertisements for various products from that era on the main radio stations, making the radio experience even more immersive.

Broadcasting Range Example
I have decided to set the broadcasting ranges of the individual radio stations lower than they were in reality. This is to encourage players to switch to another station, especially in bad weather when the range is further reduced. Here is an example map to give you an idea of the ranges:

Technical Limitations
  • You have to start a new game.
  • The game updates the music and news list every few weeks. When this update happens, you will loose connection to the radio station. Just reconnect and everything is up to date.

    Credits
    A big thanks to SeniLix. Although I didn’t use any of his audio files, his radio mod inspired this idea. If my mod is too large for you, I recommend checking out SeniLix’s radio mod. Here you can choose which radio station’s music files to download, saving space on your hard drive.

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:

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?

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.

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.
