Add radio stations to GTA IV

[nkjellman]

Is there any way to add new radio stations to GTA 4? Im working on a mod that adds VCFM, Ram Jam FM and Self Actulization FM from EFLC to the reguler GTA IV. I have EFLC and I think that it would make the game soundtrack more complete. If I release this I will only release the files that make the mod work. The RPF's with the radio station audio files wont be released as they will be copyed over from EFLC. (So no copy rights arnt violated and this insures that the person has EFLC to do this) Anyway the people who tell me how to get them working will definitly get credit. Any help would be welcome.

I did add a radio station to IV and EFLC, which is a better Independence FM, this mod uses windows api to play mp3's. This is probably not what you're asking though. As far as I know adding station to the game using only game natives is going to be a pain. It might be possible, as openiv will let you add rpf files, but you would need to be able to also add stations to the index of radio stations, take a look at radiohud.dat

Ive ported all the stuff over but the sounds.dat15 is not working. I did radiohud.dat and evrything else that has stuff to do with the stations over but the sounds.dat15 has data for the radio data in it but it wont port over. If anyone has an idea on how to get this to port over please help. I just need to edet that one stinking file as far as Im concernd. The sounds.dat15 written in Binary. I have the RPF's in so the game knows there their but I need to edit the sounds.dat15 to get them to play
