Changelogs
Version 1.2.0
Crafting: Added duplicate crafting recipes for use with the workshop crafting menu toggle (see settings log).
General: Set plugin version to 5
General: Repackaged the mod into BA2 archives.
General: Included all files as a FOMOD installer.
Materials: Created new Effect material files (.BGEM) based on the colours used within the OWR added radio meshes.
Meshes: Updated the Radio1.nif mesh to use a material effect file (.BGEM) for the colour of the light on the dial when the radio is on. [Dev Note: This allows that colour to be changed via material swap rather than needing separate meshes to have different colours.]
Menu: Moved 'Force Frequency Scan' and 'Radio Object Search' buttons from the Radio Info menu to the settings menu (settings menu accessed via Radio Info Menu).
Menu: Updates to Radio Info menu which now lists 10 frequencies and provides buttons for fast channel swapping. If more than 10 frequencies are available then the player can change 'pages' to view other frequencies. [Dev note: this was done as a small QoL feature for those players that have a lot of installed radio mods and using the dials is a long and tedious process].
Scripts: Backend improvements aiming to reduce script lag and streamline processes.
Scripts: Base function of mod now works off scanning the loaded area around the player (default distance 12000 units) for compatibile radio items. Once the player moves more than 12000 units from that point another scan is conducted. This should finally remove the [busy] tag bug.
Scripts: Added integrated compatibility with OWR to add those radio object forms to the workshopScrapRecipe_radio formlist. This is done on game load and only runs if OWR.esp is installed.
Scripts: Changed logic within scripts so that radio objects that are in the workshopScrapRecipe_radio formlist but do not have the dial nodes within their mesh can still be interacted with via the 'Info' activation prompt.
Scripts: Added function to track player building radios in settlements. The script will now update the radio collection and apply dials to radios built by the player upon exiting workshop mode. Previously the player would have had to change cell or leave the area for the changes to take effect.
Settings: Added a new setting that toggles between having radios crafted under Decorations > Misc (Vanilla) or Decorations > Radios (Modded). Default setting is OFF (vanilla crafting location).
Worldspace: Removed unnecessary override of the Minuteman Radio Transmitter Ref (likely an error introduced through use of the Creation Kit)
OWR Patch: Strictly speaking not needed for the primary function of the mod but required to have consistency with some of the extra / optional mod features
OWR Patch: Crafting: Added duplicate crafting recipes for the custom artwork radios that OWR has, for use with the workshop crafting menu toggle.
OWR Patch: Material Swaps: Added the new material effects to the different custom artwork radios' material swaps, to change the colour of the dial light when the radio is on. [Dev Note: The player shouldn't notice this change but it is required to have the custom artwork radios use the default radio1.nif mesh and therefore the dials.]
OWR Patch: Objects: Changed the mesh on the OWR radio objects from the mod added ones (which are just copies of the vanilla one with effect edits) to the default Radio1.nif
Version 1.1.1a
Reupload of 1.1.1 as loose files. Archive creation failed.
Version 1.1.1
General: Set plugin version to 4
Scripts: Fixed issue with mistiming of script events firing causing the radio manager quest to stop searching for radio objects. This is the [busy] dial bug users were experiencing.
Version 1.1.0
Gameplay: Added ability for the player to autotune a radio to the station that is playing on the pipboy. With the pipboy playing music look at the radio and 'autotune' should replace 'info' as the secondary option.
Gameplay: Added option to 'lock' a radio's frequency if using the random frequency setting. [Dev note: This is intended for use with radios in settlements so that it stays tuned to what you want to listen to but those in the world will still offer random stations.]
General: Set plugin version to 3.
Menu: Updated 'Info' menu to have additional options. A settings menu (see settings changelog), frequency lock option, ability to force a frequency scan and radio object search.
Message: Added notification messages (top left) to inform the player that the mod has initiated on game load.
Script: Added a screening function to remove 'local' frequencies from the database when interacting with a radio. [dev note: This has been added to reduce the chance of invalid frequencies being scanned to when interacting with a radio object]
Script: Added an additional check that does not allow channel hopping for radios that are deemed 'out of signal' by the game's design. [dev note: This effects those radio objects that are in dungeons which in the base game only ever play static]
Script: Added 103.0 (DLC - Caravan Distress Signal) to the ignored frequencies list.
Script: Multiple improvements and optimisation of scripts and management quests to aid in future bug finding. [dev note: This doesn't directly effect the player's experience but makes the scripts easier to manage therefore easier to find errors!]
Script: Changed method of detecting radio objects in the worldspace. Player's should now have fully functioning dials and radio name tags before interacting with the radio. This removes the clunky feel of seeing a radio and then having the name update and dial options present themselves as the player looked at it.
Settings: Added setting to have worldspace radios tune to a random frequency during gameplay, including tuning into mod added stations. The setting is OFF by default.
Version 1.0.1
General: Set plugin version to 2.
Script: Fixed bug that reset the frequency data array when loading a save. This would cause radios to be stuck and unable to change channels.
Script: Added 104.0 (Settlement recruitment radio) and 97.0 (source unknown but it isn't a music station) to the ignored frequencies list
Version 1.0.0
Gameplay: Gave player the ability to interact with radio dials to change frequency (channels) and volume (in 10% increments) on a given radio receiver.
Mesh: Added left and right attachment nodes to Radio1.nif, RadioPrewar.nif and Speaker01.nif
Mesh: Created invisible interaction mesh for use with radio meshes
Menu: Added information menu to display dialled in frequency and volume
Menu: Added current dialled in frequency to radio name. [dev note: Engine limitation means that you have to look away and back at the radio object for this to refresh]
General: Set plugin version to 1.
Script: Created script to check for radio station frequencies to 0.01 accuracy. [Dev Note: Between 80-110 this takes approximately 50 seconds, going to 0.001 has severe impacts on performance]
Sound: Added static sound to play from radios when changing frequency
Retro Radio Replacer Patch: Added left and right attachment nodes to modified Radio1.nif and RadioPrewar.nif [Dev note: The original Retro Radio Replace mod is still required. The main file for Tuneable radios is also required]
