Hi im new to this forum, loved oblivion and love fallout3. Ive been looking around for a mod that adds new songs for the radio station or lets you add your own. If this has already been done can someone tell me where i can find it. Thanks

At the moment, we can't add new tracks as such. However, I reckon that if we editted one of the current tracks to include a transition to a second track, it would in effect add a new piece of music. This removes the randomness factor, and legal issues are a problem, as only copyright free music could be used. If you can direct me to some suitable 50s copyright free and free to use music, in ogg or mp3 format, I will have a go.

awww how can someone with "pirate" in their name be worried about copyrights? anyways thanks for the info, i'll start looking for some tunes.

This is precicely the mod I'm hoping for, too...


I take it that it's not as easy as adding a "music/radio/gnr" folder to our data folder, then dumping tracks into it... Too bad...

I think it's against the Nexus rules anyway to host copyrighted content, it may get them in trouble. I have made the necessary modifications to try and add an extra song onto the start of Roy Brown's "Butcher", which plays on GNR, but I haven't heard it yet. I'm not sure if the station now refuses to play that song at all, or if my luck has prevented the song from coming around. I'll do a few more hours of "testing" to try and fix this.

As far as I know, the game specifically calls up certain audio files to play from the folder. So while you could add that folder, (Just to let you know, the file structure is "sound/radio/licensedtracks/*SONGNAME*.wav") I doubt it will play it. However, I'm sure if we got a Kit someone could fashion a folder like that.

Cant you do it like Oblivion? Put in say... I dunno ... Will Smith - Men in Black and rename it to one of the other songs in the folder in .wav format?

Anyone tried that?
