EnclaveRadio v2.2
by PimpBot420


This mod attempts to implement a stable Enclave Radio songlist extender. The
available songs have been expanded with the option of retaining the original 8
song tracks in rotation. President Eden's dialogue loop, which occurs once you
begin the quest "Take It Back!", has been removed. In addition, the song memory
list has been increased to prevent tracks from repeating too often.

[S] Standard Edition: Songs played until Eden resumes talking is set at 2.
[E] Extended Edition: Songs played until Eden resumes talking is set at 3.
[C] Classic Edition: Default settings.
[SR] Standard Remover Edition: Songs played set to 2, original 8 songs removed.
[ER] Extended Remover Edition: Songs played set to 3, original songs removed.
[CR] Classic Remover Edition: Default settings, original songs removed.

This mod does not include the mp3/wav files you need to extend Enclave Radio's
song library. Those will be user supplied.

Preparing your audio files
--------------------------
EnclaveRadio requires a certain number of audio tracks to function properly.
Please select the correct version to accomodate the number of MP3s you wish to
play.

Prepare your audio files as described below. "x" denote optional steps.
1) Collect your MP3 tracks to be used.
2) Set MP3 quality to CBR, 192kbps, stereo, 44kHz.*
3x) Set volume normalization. 91.0db will match the original songs.**
4) Place stereo MP3s in folder ...\Data\Sound\Songs\Radio\Enclave2
5) Run "MP3 TrackX Namer.BAT". This will rename your MP3s in the correct format
for Enclave. This will also create 2 files with the folder. TrackXUndo.BAT
returns your MP3s to original titles. SongList.TXT is for your reference.
6) Create mono MP3 files of your renamed tracks. CBR, 96kbps, mono, 44kHz.*
7) Create WAV files of your renamed tracks. 356kbps, 16bit, 22kHz, mono.*
8) Place "Mono Extension Adder.bat" in same folder as mono MP3 and WAV folder.
Make sure this folder does not include your stereo MP3 files.
9) Run "Mono Extension Adder.bat". If you need to undo this step, please run
"Mono Extension Remover.bat".
10) Place mono MP3 and WAV files in folder ...\Data\Sound\Songs\Radio\Enclave2
11x)Check to make sure you have 3 files for each track you wish to play.
For example: Track01.mp3 | Track01_mono.mp3 | Track01_mono.wav

**MP3Gain can acomplish this. See Helpful Files section below.
