Swept’s Radios
Simple radios that play a variety of music.
Throneco’s next series of fun stuff for you to play around with today is radio entities.
Swept’s Radios is a set of 2 types of 11 radios that play various songs. What makes this addon different than the rest is that there’s no extra files needed*, and overly simple functioning.
This addon uses sounds and models from Counter-Strike: Source and Half-Life 2. Failue to have these two mounted will result in errors, but this shouldn’t be a problem.
Radios can be found under the "Throneco" category in the "Entities" tab.
The complete list of radios can be found here:
The Sweet Sound of Bongo
Only the Classics
Country Rockin’ Radio
Cubic Cuban
Desert Sands FM
Fine Tuned Radio
Flamenco Folk Music
Tunes of the Middle East
Songs of the Salsa
Syrian Serenade
Countryside Jams
I will most likely not add any songs to this list – not even Triage at Dawn – because there are no more suitable, looping songs.
I am also planning to attempt to create a GUI-based version of these radios, with a slider that lets you select which song you want to listen to.
Known issues:
You have to press E twice to turn the radio on the first time. A swapping of Boolean values did not solve this.
Players who joined after the radio was activated will not hear the music, though I believe this is a Source Engine issue.
Stuff will get scooty if you have more than one of the same radio playing.
