In case anyone is wondering or confused.. I am the voice of Reg and this is my podcast ;)
Phew. Glad we got that out the way.
Regarding those of you who have struggled to download this mod; I believe that this is a server issue as you only have to look at other mods uploaded around the same time to see discrepancies between Unique d/l and all d/ls.
For those of you who would like to hear more Archie & Reg, but don't have ITunes; you can listen online here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/138978
I can think of only one way to improve this, and that is to make it into something like a random playlist. I would love to listen to all of the bits, but I only seem to repeatedly hear the same few episodes.
The reason your mod can't be downloaded using NMM is the format of the file. You are using WinRAR, which is fine, but you are using the default RAR5 format, and NMM understands RAR4. What you need to do is to either compress your mod using 7-zip, or when you are creating RAR - choose "RAR4" in the dialogue.
Oh, and you don't need the directory structure in there. Just select your files and create archive. Select format, if using WinRAR, or use 7-zip. Latter is better.
I just wanna say you guys are bloody hilarious. found myself laughing out loud listening to this. it really has made those long boring treks across the commonwealth worthwhile. thanks for making this! best wishes to you and Archie!
Is there any chance that this will conflict with Galaxy News Radio? Also, you might want to try to make the podcast radio as up-to-date as possible with in-game events. (i.e. liberty prime's activation, institute destroying the prydwin, minutemen taking the castle.. All that good stuff if it isn't already.
Can't wait to download it.
[EDIT] Bugger. It looks like even the manual download refuses to cooperate with the mod manager AND refuses to cooperate with the mod folder.
Alien Elvis brought some holotapes from an alternative universe. No Liberty Prime or Minutemen where Archie and Reg come from. The poor chaps would be utterly confused by those.
It works. It has been tested. Seeing you're new in posting here maybe you are also new to modding? Could it be something goes wrong on your side? The files belong in Fallout 4\Data\ and there is nothing special about this mod, it is a very basic esp and two ba2 archive files for the audio and textures. Should work out of the box.
I have no intention to add more podcasts to this mod at this stage. I should also mention that the casts themselves are completely unrelated to the fallout universe (you'll understand when you finally get it installed.. although I suspect that you'll probably uninstall anyway when you realise that the casts are just me and my chum talking nonsense (very funny nonsense)). I put this here only to give people something different to listen to whilst they play.
This won't even finish downloading. It just says 'Incomplete' every time. Before I get the same smarmy answer you gave to OrionTheSylveon, I assure you I am not new to modding. It's your mod.
Been modding for 8 years, I can't get it to download either. Thank you for sharing, I look forward to the fixed version so I can download. Is the podcast hosted anywhere on the web?
I am sorry that some people are struggling to download my work. I've had a look at all mods uploaded to the nexus last night and I can see that this is clearly a server issue. For example, there's a mod that was posted right after mine: Boston Natural Surroundings, with has Unique DLs 285 Total DLs 804. I suspect that the weekends put a lot of strain upon these servers that we all love and appreciate.
95% of the time download issues are not the mod's fault. Complaining to the author doesn't do anything but frustrate them. Be patient and if you must, report the problem to the Nexus admins. Or better yet check the forums for similar complaints.
I'm having the same issue as you, the file would not install using NMM MOD MANAGER DOWNLOAD or MANUAL DOWNLOAD it would always tell me that the file is incomplete, after 5 attempts over the last 24 hours I gave up with trying to get it to work with NMM.
To get the mod working try this:
1. Extract the files with WinRAR or 7-Zip. 2. Place the three files in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\Data 3. Open NMM, click on plugins tab 4. Click on ARRadio.esp to activate (should be at the bottom of the list)
Here's some interesting statistics for you all to muse over:
Custom Pip Boy Wallpapers by warbirdphotographer and sbk187 Unique DLs 119 Total DLs 238
BOSTON NATURAL SURROUNDINGS Unique DLs 485 Total DLs 1,603
Archie and Reg Unique DLs 131 Total DLs 612
It's quite clear that there is a reasonably large discrepancy going on between people trying to download and people actually being successful. It's also clear that this is a server issue and not just this mod (or at least it appears to me to be so).
However, the above info does at least tell me that you guys have tried at least three times each to grab my mod... and for your wonderful perseverance, I thank you.
