i wanna hear it when its done... hope its metal :p

While I'm not holding wholly to period music, I'm trying to keep the majority of the tracks close to the sort of stuff you'd expect to hear in the 1950's world of tomorrow (so no, no heavy metal).

Johnathon Coulton is in it though!

D.O.P.R

i know what it needs.. get the albem from pat boone... no more mr nice guy... :p add a few tracks from that

Of course! Pat Boone! That would be perfect! Of course...that would mean I would need to actually have an album of his...uggh...

D.O.P.R

the albem is called no more mr nice guy.. if you want you can buy and download from eather itunes or zune.. zune gives you mp3 though ;p

I can convert.

D.O.P.R

If you have Dr. Steel in it, ya need to Dr. Insano in it too, kinda to show a failed but loveable evil genius in contrast, plus he could do references to some of huis special "weapons", that someone else could build for a mod, like robotic suicide squirrels, or an orbital deathlaser that you call from the sky with a receiver like in Command and Conquer Renegade.

Heh, Dr. Insano as well as Dr. Demento.

D.O.P.R

:D

Since Spoony is a nice guy and likes Fallout 3 too, I guess he would even deliver some live sound footage if you would ask him too.

I mean, his character in a Fallout 3 mod, that would probably be good advertisement for him as well a chance to be artistic. x3

I'd suggest having whatever DJ you find poking fun at THreeDog or the Enclave station every once in a while.

Also, if you felt like doing a bit of complex coding, you could have the DJ comment on how crowded the airwaves are all of a sudden (since several of the DLCs add radio signals).

Heh...I'm the DJ. I've been recording the dialogue myself, adding in tape hiss, and other effects as I go. And I've already got a track mentioning ThreeDog.

"This is DracoRex, your host for KRAP, middle of the Wasteland music of robots radio. Lemme tell ya folks - I had one of the Regulators ask me once if I was trying to compete with ThreeDog from Galaxy News Radio based outta downtown DC. Lemme set the record absolutely straight (since as all of you guys know, none of my other records are straight)... I have the utmost respect for ThreeDog. Seems like a nice guy, runs a clean station, and generally gives good advice. But you people deserve to have options. Maybe you've heard "Set the World on Fire" a few too many times and just want something else. That's what I'm hear for. So with no further ado, here's a song that isn't "Set the World on Fire".

And thus... "Set the World on Fire" begins playing... XD

Not in my playlist!

I dunno what Fallout is but I do run radio stations...

Fallout 3 is a post-apocalypse game using the Oblivion engine.

Basically, it's the 1950's "World of Tomorrow" - and then the bombs fell...
200 years later, people are still picking up the pieces in the irradiated Washington D.C. area.

Spread about the "Capital Wasteland" (as they call it) are a few radio stations. Some play propaganda for the various factions, some play period music.
What I'm doing, is trying to create a custom radio station with my own dialogue and appropriate music.

But I've never worked at a radio station, so if you have any advice, or suggestions as to what would be appropriate, or would be funny to add, let me know!

D.O.P.R

Ill tell more when I am sober but I can dig up a few pics of the studios I work in. Now everything is racks of equipment and computer automated but traditionally its a grizzly dj smoking a cigarette sitting infront of a mic with 2 turn tables and a control console. Way radio should be.

Heh, that would be funny.

D.O.P.R

That's bad ass man! I will say that Fallout 3 is one of the most amazing games I have ever had the privelage to play. From it's absolutely enormous size, to the very cool story line, great graphics and just downright fun game play...it's great.

I found the radio stations a really cool aspect of it. If I may ask, how do you go about adding material like that to the game?

I think it would be neat if towards the end of what you're wanting it to do, you have some kind of catastrophic event happen at the radio station, like getting stormed by raiders or mutants or something like that and have it able to be hard on the station as it goes down. Of course that would pose replay realism problems, but would be cool to hear.

Heh, I had thought of that. But you're right, the replay would take away some of the novelty.
I do have a reference to raiders attacking the station, but by that point, they're already dead. >:-D

I could try and add in some battle sounds as a kind of "Life in the Wasteland" documentary though...Hmmm...

Currently I don't plan on the station being a physical location. I simply don't know enough about ingame modeling to make that feasible. I have all the necessary materials (the game, and the modding program, which is appropriately called the G.E.C.K.), I just don't have the needed experience with modeling.

I have considered trying to add in a radio tower which, when activated, would bring the station on air, but I would need to do some research and play around with the G.E.C.K. for a while first.

D.O.P.R

It may be possible to do specific radio events based on what's happening to the player - I think I saw them do that in the campaign (i.e. events that only play once).

Yeah, but I think that would involve some coding that I don't want to get involved in.

D.O.P.R

I wish I had the computer to support the PC version of Fallout 3, but I didn't, so I got stuck with the Xbox 360 version. I miss mod support. :(

Sounds like you've got a fun project on your hands. Good luck!

Yeah, for me, the ability to create mods is the biggest benefit to having a game on PC.

D.O.P.R

Long live fallout 3!

Indeed!
