I was fortunate enough to download this wonderful mod before Carotio unfortunately closed down his website "Silent Hunter Mods" in February this year.
Rather than seeing this great piece of work by Carotio lost forever, I have "RELOADED" it so that it is once again available to the Subsim community to enjoy.
Be aware that this mod is not for the faint-hearted! It is huge and consists of 57 packages weighing in at around 95 Mb each! (5.275 Gb compressed)
Carotio's Intercontinental Radio Pack *RELOADED* is available from the Subsim Downloads section, Silent Hunter 5 - Sound FX Mods......enjoy
Please ensure to read the Download and Installation instructions CAREFULLY
Intercontinental Radio Pack, version 1 for SH4 v1.5
Proudly presented by Carotio
(aka Mr. Bad Wolf being banned twice)
Latest update: 2009-01-30
------------------------------
So what's in it?
I have made 3 German radio stations:
************************************
Berlin:
music is mostly only German music and it's a mix of normal music, some national inspired music and military marches. 105 tracks
radio is only German radio broadcasts. 90 tracks
Hamburg:
music is both popular German music and some foreign music. 51 tracks
radio is mostly in English - some propaganda, a few messages, which were not really acceptable in 3rd Reich and a few foreign ones (French, Italian). 116 tracks
Wien (Vienna):
music is music from 1910 till 1938. 219 tracks
radio is the music from 1939 till 1945 appearing at the end of the year - november/december - towards Christmas Eve. 130 tracks.
------------------------------
I have also made one French radio station:
******************************************
Paris:
music tracks: 58 tracks
radio events: 28 tracks
This French station will represent the official France, and not Vichy France. Thus it will broadcast speeches of De Gaulle from the Free French and resistance encrypted messages, but it maintains its name of the capital of France.
------------------------------
For the American skippers, there's radio additions too:
************************************************** *****
Washington:
I have added both music and more events to Washington:
music tracks: 25 tracks
radio events: 102 tracks, of which the 16 tracks are music
------------------------------
And finally, from Japan:
************************
Tokyo:
I have added one Tokyo channel with:
traditional music: 33 tracks
radio events: 10 tracks
------------------------------
All of the above is made in the ogg format instead of mp3. Old habit from SH3. The ogg seamed to run more smoothly than mp3.
Besides, less chance to have trouble with hosts, when hosting ogg rather than mp3, even packed in rar.
In the pack, there's also the following radio mods:
************************************************** *
BBC (166 original radio events)
CBS NEWS (version 1+2 mixed) (162 original events)
Hollywood (146 original radio events, no music)
Radio Honolulu (106 original radio music tracks)
If you already have those, you may want to delete them. But those 4 radio stations are however now converted to ogg and fully reworked. :-)
I have found sources with more radio events, so I have updated all radio stations with more music and radio events:
BBC: +42 more event tracks
CBS NEWS: +114 more event tracks, of which many are from NBC, thus renaming this station to CBS-NBC. Some of the original events were not in the events.ini file. That is fixed. Some original events have been replaced with longer better version. And in overall, the schedule in events.ini has been reworked in order to fit in all the new events.
Hollywood: +3 more music tracks as radio events and +17 music tracks for when there ain't no events (before just silence/noise).
So reworked, it looks like this:
BBC: 67 music tracks + 208 radio events
CBS-NBC: 43 music tracks + 227 radio events
Hollywood: 17 music tracks + 149 music tracks made as radio events
Radio Honolulu: 106 music tracks, no radio events
------------------------------
Now, I have added my radio.ini file, which is made for the above radio stations and those alone. If you have more or want less, you'll have to edit it. In my tests, I think a distance of 6 is enough for the frequencies.
And I have added in data/sound/music a cfg file removing all of the theme music. (This cfg file is Silent Hunter 4 specific and will cause problems if not deleted for Silent Hunter 5)
And I have checked the mod with Digital Truckers radio checking program and there should be no problems, so go ahead and try it out.
Download and Installation:
Download all 57 zipped packages and place in a new folder. (or just download complete folder)
Extract Carotio_IntercontinentalRadioPack.part01.rar with 7-Zip File Manager to your Desktop.
It will create a folder called Carotio_ Intercontinental Radio Pack and extract the other remaining packages automatically.
Open the Carotio_ Intercontinental Radio Pack folder and delete the folder named Music: Carotio_IntercontinentalRadioPack\Data\Sound\Music
Place Carotio_IntercontinentalRadioPack folder in your C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\MODS folder and install with JSGME.
IMPORTANT! Silent Hunter 5 users!
Failure to delete the Carotio_IntercontinentalRadioPack\Data\Sound\Music folder prior to installing this mod may result in a possible CTD.

hi my name James T ah just curiouse ah isn`t this for sh4 or sh5 that when you go to the game package that it belong to how ever it`s nice to have some thin like that backe then. but unfortunatly they did not have that aboard there bout back then so any radio of what it was like back then sur would like to hear. even if it means listening to this one is just as good.
how do you get the radio to work ive seen something on youtube were they say you click on radioman but no orders for him unfortunatlly so im guessing this wasn't implemented till further on in the game?
This is what i remember about this mod and i will have to download it and figure it all out again ..
This is a sh4 mod , It will crash sh5 unless a config file is changed.It is changed from 11 states to 14 states ...
Ill have to figure all that out again .. BUT ...
Just before i wiped my system last and lost all this .. I figured out that if you load this in jsgm before you load twos mod .. then Twos mod will rewrite , whatever cnfg file it was that needed it and thus it was a trouble free install.
I would really like to download this, but mediafire is so extremely bad.
I've made a free account, which means I need to d/l 57 files one-by-one. On top of that, most of the time "the file you're trying to download is currently unavailable". On top of all that, I click to download part 2, and it starts downloading part 8.
I appreciate the idea, but I do not consider it reloaded until someone makes it possible to easily download it. It would be ideal if it was one file or one file per radio station.
Carotio's Intercontinental Radio Pack is so important for the game, its a elementary mod and creats a fantastic atmosphere to the game. Enjoying this mod on every patrol.
I had no problems downloading all 57 files without signing in to Mediafire.
This Radio Stations download is a history lesson of the WW2 years.
Thanks for putting this together.
It is huge and consists of 57 packages weighing in at around 95 Mb each! (5.275 Gb compressed)
