Improve the radio?

[VENGA BUS 2,027]

Is there any possibility of a better/different radio set-up? I've seen servers in CS 1.6 where you can actually select from a large list of national radio stations (though this server was French*).

Even playing on another server, Blaze, I found they had a far better radio station in terms of music and volume. Is there a reason why the volume is capped at 20%? Is this to prevent commander from being drowned out? Couldn't the individual be trusted to have the volume at an appropriate level?

Even Fragradio or FragFM (whatever it's called) would be an improvement on the existing one.

Cheers all. :)

I love epic radio, i'd be severely disappointed if we were to change stations.

But yeah selection of stations wouldn't hurt.

Everyone's asking for a louder volume, and i'd agree to that. If you have the radio too loud to hear what's going on, that's your fault.

Louder volume for sure.

Epic radio stays, it's the goddamn best.

50% volume PLS.

I was listening to it today and it was actually pretty good. It's more that I can't really hear it 90% of the time. But yeah, a selection wouldn't hurt, would it?

I hate radio stations, always people constantly talking about things that I don't give a fuck about. I rather just listen to constant music or even the commander while I'm dead.

Then don't type /radio. Pretty simple LoL.

Then don't type /radio. Pretty simple LoL.

Do you really think I would do it if I just stated I hate it? <.<

I still agree with you on the idea though ( for the sake of others ), having a higher volume could help people from being bored when dead as the 20% isn't loud enough.

It's something that has been discussed many times in the past. I appreciate people wanting it louder when call me maybe comes on, but I think it should remain due to the foreseeable problem of "What did you say had radio on OMG FREEKILLS".

We would rather prevent this tbh.

If they had the radio on, it would be their problem, Kriss said the reason he hasn't done it yet is that it requires the compiled script to be edited, which is extremely difficult

[VENGA BUS 2,027]

Ah I wasn't really aware of the technical difficulties. But yeah - couldn't it simply be the player's responsibility? I can generally hear orders fine when the radio is at 40% (and I might up this when I'm dead and unable to speak).
