Portable Radio
Listen to the radio whilst exploring the zone.
What’s the purpose?
Allows you to listen to the radio whilst exploring the zone.
You can toggle the radio (on/off) and switch frequency.
How to use?
Toggle radio (on/off): Default keybind Shift + B
Switch frequency: Default keybind Shift + F
There may be a slight delay on these actions, wait a second after pressing.
You can adjust the volume with a console command: SetRadioVolume <0.0-10.0>
e.g: SetRadioVolume 0.75
or SetRadioVolume 2.5
You can set the default portable radio volume in options.lua via DEFAULT_RADIO_VOLUME
Keybinds can also be changed in options.lua.
How to install?
LISTEN UP! THIS IS A UE4SS MOD! NOT A .PAK MOD!
If you already have UE4SS installed, simply extract the mod folder to the UE4SS mods folder (step 5).
You’ll need to install UE4SS and then extract my mod to the UE4SS Mods folder:
Head over to https://github.com/UE4SS-RE/RE-UE4SS/releases and download the latest release (at this time, UE4SS_v3.0.1.zip)
Extract the contents of the zip to Stalker2/Binaries/{Platform} (where the Stalker2 .exe is)
Ideally, apply the changes in the “experiencing crashes” notes below these steps, to save time.
Download this mod, and extract the PortableRadio folder to Stalker2/Binaries/{Platform}/Mods
Launch the game and enjoy.
Note: you don’t need to add this mod to the mods.txt file, as it contains an enabled.txt file which starts the mod automatically.
If nothing happens when you press the default keybinds, then you haven’t installed the mod correctly.
If you are sure it is installed correctly, please refer to comments to see if there are existing solutions to your issue.
If you are experiencing crashes after installing UE4SS, open UE4SS-settings.ini and change the following values:
bUseUObjectArrayCache; from true to false
GuiConsoleEnabled; from 1 to 0
GuiConsoleVisible; from 1 to 0
Technical notes
This mod works by spawning a radio actor from blueprint class (/Game/_STALKER2/GameDesign/QuestInteractiveObjects/Radio/GenericRadio/Radio_120/Hub/BP_100_Rads_Bar_120.BP_100_Rads_Bar_120_C) and attaching it to the player.
The radio functionality (turning on/off, and switching frequency) works exactly the same as if you interacted with an existing radio in the world. Switching frequency changes the radio channel to a random one, as far as I can tell
