ahhh i see well minus the copyrighted music, the ui and other changes would be great. the different radios were just a single feature i thought of

Oh i didnt know Nexus mods had any rules about copyright protection considering theres already a bunch of radio mods on the nexus for all the fallouts. and yea in the full document I wrote up, it had a section with something similar to what you said, where each of the different groups that would have their own radio or take over a radio have different genres and different personalities to the music and different cultures attached to them. instead of going the bethesda ruote and control+f the word nuclear for all songs, itd give the groups music that would match their personalities and traits

C.R.O is something that I’ve been thinking about ever since I was 7 and played new Vegas in my first play through. I wondered why the radio stations were under utilized and barebones in 3 and new Vegas’s. This mod idea will aim to fix those underutilized aspects and improve your listening experience, radio ui experience and quality of life, your immersiveness AND on top of that plans to add a nice little quest line + other unconnected quests to wrap it all together! DISCLAIMER: I’m not a mod developer coder or anything other than a mod organizer 2 user! This is just a collection of thoughts I’ve had for years and would like to see realized! The most I’ve ever done in the geck was place a companion outside doc Mitchell’s house, I’m simply putting my idea out here hoping someone will see it and realize how good the radio system could be. I feel like this could be a great mod to be a main stay in most people LO’s. So if there’s any talented modders out there that would want credit for completely overhauling the radio hit me up and I’ll elaborate on the stuff I left out so it wouldn’t be as long. you can message me here or on discord @xyl3t > Now playing/ Up next Displays what song is playing under the sound waves on the right side, also what song is up next > REAL PIPBOY EQ! Makes the sound waves display the actual sound waves instead of just a static loop of different prerecorded ones that don’t match the song (Mcm settings: 1. a Toggle for this incase it costs performance 2. Maybe able to customize the Eq threshold and style idk ,) > Request song skip! (LORE FRIENDLY!) under the “Tune A)” in the top right adds a second control labeled “Request Skip Y)” popping up a menu to either bribe a skip or use speech skill to skip, so it adds a lore friendly way to skip the radio by calling in to the radio station with your pipboy and asking. Even adding some dialogue to explain to the listeners why another song is playing (Mcm settings: 1. Song skips based on your charisma and speech skill, toggleable and editable chances of success 2. Toggleable dialogue of the radio host saying something about the skip then playing the next song. Ex “So sorry folks if you were invested in the tale of Johnny but we’ve gotten word that others are upset with how many times they’ve heard it today so we’ll be moving on to another song now.” 3. Only play quick song transitions if skipped “oops didn’t mean to put Johnny guitar on, anyways here’s BIG IRON!” “Hold up folks the holotape just stopped playing let me put on somethin else while my techs look at it” 4. Maybe a option to also make sure that no news/radio host dialogue will play at all after a song skip so you can just get right into the music > IMMERSIVE STATIC Adds customizable and toggleable static to radios. idea is to set a location where a radio is broadcasting from, and like fallout 3 the further you get from the broadcasting the static gets worse and worse until it’s cut out (MCM settings: 1. editable radius of crystal clear transmission. 2. adjustable minimum and maximum static based the distance. 3. toggle static for those who don’t want it. 4. Different types of static to fine tune your listening needs!) > Radio station bleed! Much like real life when you start losing one station due to static you can start to faintly hear another station bleeding in. [Will need to add a radio station that’s just all yapping so there won’t be 2 songs at the same time] (Mcm settings: 1. Minimum and maximum volume so it doesn’t get over bearing, and a toggle of course. 2. A option to make the bleeding in radio only use dialogue of the radio host and no songs or also include songs. {so you can choose to have 2 songs fighting if you want that} 3. Option to pick only one station that can bleed in, or set it to the nearest station to you. but stations in this setting can be disabled if you really don’t wanna hear a certain radio, {default will be set to single station on like a talk show} 4. Also a disable toggle for all this ofc > New song transition dialogue Use AI to add several new dialogue of news, character interviews, happenings of the wastes and such to be played on air in between song, maybe even some dialogue talking about getting some requests to skip the song when you do so. (including more wild wasteland ones for a wackier wilder experience!) EXTRAAA STUFFS > Holotape songs! You can now visit the stations of the Mojave and acquire your favorite songs in physical media! So incase you ever just need to urgently hear big iron we’ve got you! These can also be used to queue songs on a station if they don’t have it on their list. The holotapes can be found around the wastes (mainly in abandoned stations) bought from vendors (stations could have vendors themselves that sell copies of their music.) > Couriers own broadcast + player home A nice little compact radio station that the courier can take over from ghouls and start his own personal broadcast from. But you’ll only start with a few holotapes in your station (maybe even raking in some caps from donations making this a business for you) > REAL BORADCASTING STATION + QUESTS Adds and updates broadcasting stations for each radio, able to easily set what songs play next for free from here and boost their signal with quests, and defend against attacks. > RADIO STATIONS UNDER ATTACK also at random you’ll have to defend them from a attack (they’ll make an emergency broadcast saying they need help and are under attack.) think like fallout 4 settlement attacks. if you help defend you’ll get a free couple song queues and a discount of future skips and up nexts. But if you don’t help they’ll lose some broadcast distance and lose some quality. > FAILURE CONSEQUENCES + QUEST LINE If a station is failed to defend too many times it will get taken over by whoever attacked. Since they have control they’ll play what they want. Super mutants: will play the worst music, and can only be payed to skip with guns and ammo or maybe slaves. Gives the station a mutant look with meat bags etc. Raiders: won’t play anything but some junkie ramblings and the only way to get any music from the station will be to pay in chems or WAY overpay a up next. Gives the station a raider camp look, fire, corpses, etc Critters (WILD WASTELAND): if you have WW and a station is lost to some Mojave wild life they’ll move in and the host will be none other than SNUFFLES! (He’ll now have a suit tie!) Snuffles as a host just makes mole rat noises and will play nature sounds, animal noises, and basic tribal music. until you complete his quest then he’ll move out and host his own station and broadcast his own unique music. (New radio with lore friendly Bangers only snuffles could think to broadcast) (Mcm settings: 1. Adjust how much quality is lost during a raid 2. Adjust How much discount is given and how many free skips and queues. 3. Adjust frequency of attack 4. Adjust time frame of attacks before failure) 5. Adjustable chance that they defend themselves I have a whole rough draft and idea for what will happen in the snuffles quest line ill probably implement it myself if any modders end up being interested in this. send me a message on here or discord if youre interested Discord:xyl3t
