Dopealicious FM

Basically, my version of this radio station.

Background story...

Many saw that billboard in Los Santos, above the Ganton area, but no one really understood back then why it was there. Then, someone considered it a cut radio station.

There is not much information about it on the GTA Wiki website. Then videos started appearing on YouTube with a full tracklist marked as Beta.

Now regarding the mod itself. The original was a solid file, which is why it always played from the beginning in the game (like other similar ones, which I don't like).

Therefore, I cut it for myself (it's still not perfect, I wanted to tie certain inserts to specific tracks).

Also, there are no song titles here. And this is not due to laziness (apparently), but to the function of displaying text on the device screen - or colloquially, RDS.

Although it appeared in 1990, which fits the atmosphere, it was never implemented anywhere in the 3D universe.

Apparently, its distribution wasn't that important at the time, or it was too complex for Rockstar at that moment.

Add to this the rather old car fleet in the game with ancient car radios, and we get what we have.

Full two-hour mix with track names here —

There are also inconsistencies, for example, the host says that the bridges in San Fierro and Las Venturas are still closed. This is because ATP does not support playing only certain inserts as the story progresses (unlike the original radio).

An icon is included in the archive (for some reason, they don't work for me after adding several more radio stations), insert it into the ATP.txd file (the one in models/txd).

If you need to reduce the volume of all radio stations, there is a settings.ini file in the ATP folder; in it, the Global Volume parameter can be lowered from 100 to 70.

Or edit the volume of the music files themselves with an audio editor or converter (for example, Format Factory).

Plus, don't forget that each individual radio station also has the ability to edit the volume (radio folder/info.ini), but for some reason, it doesn't work for me either ('_')

upd. v 2.0

Complete rework of the radio station.

1. Now, the Weekend Party Mix can turn on in the evening and at night, and in the morning you'll hear the DJ say that the party was a success. This is thanks to the Atmospheric Tracks option (for atmosphere, I recommend increasing the number of hours in a day from 24 to 48 in MixSets to give the game more time to play).

2. In the Sidetracks folder, there are inserts between tracks that mention the game's plot - the closing of bridges, the C.R.A.S.H. trial, and two variations of the LS Riots.

These are files 1, 4, 5, 6 - you can not insert them if you don't want inconsistencies when each of them will play in random sequence (but if you are a novice in English, it's not a problem).

3. No extraneous track summaries at the beginning and end (some parts of the summaries had to be cut for adaptation to the mod), everything was edited in Audacity.

Binding of the DJ's lines by meaning to individual tracks.

4. Icons work flawlessly; in the previous version, I used the wrong version of ATP, which caused this bug.

For convenience, I will attach my settings file, where everything is configured so that the keys do not overlap with other important mods, such as Open Limit Adjuster. Also, a display file that shows radio station names, track names, and icons.

Switching tracks with "[" and "]", full scan with "=", turning off the radio with " /".

Installation:

Drop folder 12 into the ATP mod folder (if this name already exists, rename it to any number not exceeding 63).

For the mod to work, you need Advanced Track Player version 1.2.1. It is better structured and easier to use and edit.
