That depends on what you mean by a radio. There is VHF chatter on the bridge, whether it belongs there or not.
You should learn how to construct clear meaningful questions, correctly spelled.

No, I don't think that you can talk into a radio on any of the ships, but on youtube, there was something about adding music. It might just be using affects, though. How could you talk on the radio on a ship in the game ;D? Put your face up to the monitor and talk ;D?

Well, Pheonixchain, what I was saying before was that it was only the editing of the video that had music on it, not the game. The game I don't think you can put music on. If you aren't sure, you can search the forum for a topic related to music with SS. But if you are asking me, no, you cannot put music on the radio.

Yes, the voices on the radio do talk all the time, and you are just going to have to live with them I am afraid :-\. Don't think of it as a bad thing, think of them as your loyal companions who stay with you on the bridge as you operate the ship ;D ;D ;D. But, if you truly cannot stand them, just walk in the walkthrough mode and you will not hear the radio ;).

My favorite ship, personally, is the Ocean star. I am a huge fan of operating cruise ships and since Ocean star is the only cruise ship in the game, I am saying that it is my favorite ship.

You don’ talk into the monitor, silly. You talk into the mouse. Even Scotty, from another century, knew that!

They put music in by changing the .wav files that the radio usually has with a song they like.

I could probably make the radio play the midi file I have of the Proprio Deo version of Nearer, My God to Thee, then, if Titanic sinks, I can change to the navigation bridge view and listen to the Titanic band's last song as she sinks :'(

The video I made was music in the game you just have to change radio.wav to your favorite song's.

It is not definitely known that Sullivan’s setting is the one that was played:

In fact, it was mostly American survivors who mentioned hearing “Nearer My God to Thee” played. The setting that they would most likely have recognized was “Bethany”.
Also, as “Proprior Deo” means “Nearer to God” it is often used to refer to settings other than Sir Arthur Sullivan’s.

If you download and install my Radio Sound Pack, there are more than 12 hours of radio chatter. They don't talk incessantly by any means. The speech to silence ratio is about 1:7, so that means that there is seven times more silence than sound.

You can also choose between around 10 different sound packs in the add-on. I will be off to record some more over the next few weeks and will release some updates when I get back and have edited them.

Hi Steiny!

If you hear that, you don't have my add-on installed! That's from the original set of a dozen short sounds that repeat on a random basis.

Each of my sets will not repeat inside of 60-90 minutes, depending on which one you have installed.

Once you've installed the add-on radio pack, you need to run the selector program to choose which of the various sets you want to make active. Until you do that, the originals remain active.

However, mvsmith, the band was British, and unlikely to be familiar with the American version of such a song.

The ship, however, was American owned. Many of the first class passengers were Americans, or from places other than England where “Bethany” was the more familiar setting.

HOWEVER, the ship ITSELF was British, because the entire crew was British!

This includes the entire band.

When you say "band", do you mean the orchestra?

"Band" sounds a bit downmarket...

They were called the legendary Titanic Band.
Title: Re: is there a raido
Post by: TerryRussell on October 21, 2008, 23:58:16
But they were still an orchestra, weren't they?

Somehow "band" sounds like four men with guitars and a set of drums.  ;D

Then Terry, I say with great confedence that your idea of a bad is very messed up ??? ;D. However, I can see where you get the idea ;). But in this example, I have no idea how you get the idea of people with gutars ;D.

The ship was built in Belfast; you might get an argument about whether that makes her British.
The ship was built with American money, and operated by an American owned company. She sailed under a British flag of convenience, as many other ships sail under Liberian or Panamanian flags.

She was sunk by that British crew; I'll concede that she is a British wreck.

Very True. I knew this. So I agree with Marty. He is right.

She was sunk by an iceburg, but you don't see iceburgs going out and trying to claim ownership of her wreck, do you?

That WOULD be very funny if they did, though ;D

Now that i think of it, I did see icebergs trying to claim the wrecks. Yup. He was all "You wanna go man?" and the other was all "Ya i would but i cant move so fast show off"

The iceberg that REALLY killed the ship melted in the Gulf of Mexico a loooooooooong time ago, so you can tell both of those icebergs that they're lying! ;D

The Ship Simulator 2008 area should ONLY be used for posting technical support queries relating to the Demo Version.

I'll move this to General Discussions.
