Description
It can be a bit annoying to have to go to the pipboy any time you want to switch stations or turn on/off the radio. It's very immersion breaking to have to enter the main menu to turn up/down radio volume.
This mod give options to do this from within the game via hotkeys
- Adjust the radio volume in-game via hotkeys.
- Toggle the pipboy radio on/off
- Skip over and back through stations in-game
- All can be done in-game with configurable hotkeys.
- Doesn't require radio mods as masters, so it works with what you have.
Instructions
The keys can be changed. See spoiler below for config file.
See Key Values.txt to find a list of all hotkey numbers you can use to customise
