[REL] RadioStationManager V1.0 - Page 9

"radio.ini file not found"

I don't understand. I'm using JSGME. Can someone explain how to make this work? I've read through this entire thread (quickly) and all I can see is that a lot of others are having this problem.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Place the executable (RadioStationManager.exe) in the same folder as sh4.exe (just like JSGME). Sometimes JSGME will install into a FOLDER called RadioStationManager with the RadioStationManager.exe inside of the FOLDER. Please doublecheck your directory structure.

Thanks Scott! That was easy enough.

I've got two extra stations up and running so far! When I'm using the radio in game though, the 'next station' and 'previous station' functions do not automatically stop on the frequencies. Any quick fix for this?

Thanks again!

Copy and paste what's in your radio.ini so we can see it. It could be a couple of things.

Under the circumstances you specified above, there would no need to use a save file for the "prepare" function, anyway. The radio portion of the game handles the date just fine for new careers and "in-port" saves. It's just the mid patrol saves that have a problem with events replaying. For in-port saves, RSM does the same thing as if you selected "New career" when you did your "prepare".

I hope you're still around - its been quite awhile since the last posting on RadioStationManager. I used your mod way back from v1.0, and liked it alot. I have to start a 'New Career' since I just upgraded to TMO2.5 . I'll be adding a couple of stations as I'm getting tired of listening to the default music loop between the News broadcasts on the Washington station. Much more fun to listen to Inner Sanctum or The Shadow during some of the 'endless' patrols, like 'as idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean'.

I will be using a SaveGame from my current mid-patrol before starting a New Career for testing. If all goes well, I plan to delete the My Documents\SH4 folder to eliminate any residual info since TMO makes significant changes to the NSS_Gato.ups file that is not picked up in the saved games.

One of my new stations will be 'Radio Mystery Theater'. The Events sub-folder contains programs like 'Inner Sanctum', 'The Shadow', etc., enough 30 minute programs to change weekly on the 1st, 7th, 15th and 22nd at about 18:00. Configuring the events.ini file for the gamesave should remark out all events occurring before the save date, and start playing for the correct time/date.

When finished playing the 30 minute program, will I only receive static, default music, nothing at all, or get a re-play until the next date on that station?

After I delete the 'My Documents\SH4' folder, should I re-configure all the stations to the 'New Career' status?

Answers will be helpful, but I will understand if you are no longer around.

Good Hunting

I recently moved my entire games directory from one drive to another and back again (to do a format of the drive)

I don't know if that move is directly related to this issue or not, but now I'm having trouble getting RSM "Prepare Stations for Game Restart" feature to work.

When I navigate to the SH4 directory in my Documents, I get this message... "
"The folder you selected is not an SH4 save files folder or there is a problem with the folder layout". The SH4 directory in My Documents should not have changed in any way when I moved my Games directory around... it is on a separate hard drive.

any ideas?

Salute!

Is the partition lettering and size of the drive with the game, the same as what it was when you moved the game out, and then back in?

yeah, it was just a quick format to get rid of all directories other than my games directory.

propbeanie · 08-10-19, 09:21 PM

Oh well, just an idea that the save data might be expecting a different drive letter calling... Something isn't matching-up for the game now...

shortpeople · 08-25-19, 11:13 AM

I ended up uninstalling sH4 and reinstalling. and deleted my SH4 folder in my documents folder.

now, with new careers, RSM is able to find the save game directory.

Havan_IronOak · 06-17-20, 01:34 AM

Just installed this and followed the instructions in the PDF exactly.

The RadioStationManager.exe file was placed in a folder called RadioStationManager in my game directory and when executed couldn't find the Radio.ini

Moved the RadioStationManager.exe file directly into the game folder and it worked like a charm.

I'd suggest that you either change the install instructions, or better yet, move the RadioStationManager.exe file out of the RadioStationManager. It's already in a directory called RSM 1.2 and that's what's shown in JSGME

See this thread has been pretty much quiet for some time.. but...

Is hoped that someone else has run into this & knows of a solution to it.

Have SH4 properly set up, & have it modded, game save folder set up with multi SH4, SH4.exe set up as admin, read only unchecked, all the stuff to have done, is that... done.

Started off on a career & added in RSM, latest version which is v1.2 (per post#1.)...

Started off a career, from the beginning, & am into mid to late '43, & for some odd reason, RSM refuses to do preparing the stations for date it is.. according to the save folder.

Every time I go to try to have it make sure the radio is up to date for events... I keep having it swear that I am NOT pointing it at a SH4 game save folder or... swearing that the layout of the game saves has been altered.

For 1, the folder I am selecting is an SH4 game save folder, it is the 1 that I set up using multi SH4 to set up, for the mod set SH4 flavor I am running.
( - FotRS-U-EN (v1.39) + Nippon Maru (beta v1.0) - )

2. Have NOT tampered with, altered or done ANY alterations to that folder or any part of it... at all.. so not a clue as to why it is saying that it may have been done, when it hasn't been messed with in any way.

So... am posting, in the hopes that someone MIGHT have a clue as for what to do, to get it working back, as it should be... hopefully...

Short of doing a scorched earth approach & crap can My career...

Which, sadly.. I will do, but only as a last ditch remedy...

I have this problem as well; apparently C:\Users\Gary\Documents\SH4 is not a SH4 save files folder or there is a problem with the folder layout lol
Edit: The problem was that the program didn't recognize "Documents" as a documents folder. Changing it to "My Documents" got the program working.
