BrynnaDaRosa 72 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I finally got GTA IV to work after i bought it a few days ago and had to troubleshoot with R* support, and listen... I enjoy K109 the Studio like nobody else I know. But TLAD's additions to Liberty Rock Radio have GOT to go. I heard some of it in the cutscene at the apartment and I just had to skip. Couldn't deal. Vibes are OFF!!! I will sacrifice Renegade and China Grove because I just cannot deal with the rest of it. That's how important this is. More important than getting the old music back, with all the fixes not working for the moment. Anybody know what I can do? Link to post Share on other sites
CarsonGT 775 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 (edited) Yeah I also am (apparently one of the few) very against the addition of EFLC BGM to the original IV as it totally ruins the atmosphere in my opinion. Music, especially in a GTA game, is extremely important to me and a defining factor towards creating a certain mood/vibe/atmosphere. Hence why when I play GTA IV I'd like to listen to Eastern European rap and dance music, and when I play EFLC I'd like to listen to western dance and electronica. Anything else just feels wrong. Also, the new songs added to already-existing stations like LRR, The Beat 102.7 and SJS too, even though they still sort of match the theme of their original IV counterparts, it just feels wrong to hear tracks Love Lockdown, Suavemente, Wanted Dead or Alive, Free Ride or Arab Money in the original IV. I guess maybe because I am so used to hearing them in their respective episodes, but also because to me those songs just only work in TBOGT or TLAD. I don't exactly know how to properly explain it. It just feels that way. Even though I legitimately own the game on Steam, this was such a huge deal breaker for me that I resorted to just pirating the original version as it seems no one has realy looked into this much at all. And if so, no restoration modification seemingly has been made and I bet probably won't be made in a while as it seems the majority of the community is on-board with this decision. I wish Rockstar did the right thing and just de-listed the game - like literally any other studio/publisher would do - instead of completely butchering it to high hell.

Ash_735 17,280 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Just downgrade your game to an earlier version then, go to a point where they were split IV + EFLC again. I'm sure you guys already know but this is how Rockstar intended for it to be anyway, IV + DLC on consoles and the old PC version would combine the radio into slots so it would mix for everyone. It was only split for EFLC which I guess became the norm for PC gamers, so now that it's back to the original style it feels "wrong". 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Hmm, is there a way to do it with ignoring IV music but keeping the EFLC music? Of course keeping the IV exclusives like Fusion FM, Classics etc. I tried doing it by myself by going into the rpf.xml file. By removing the lines that are something like this: -<Rpf> <Name>radio_hardcore</Name> <Type>rpf</Type> <Alias>radio_hardcore</Alias> </Rpf> Everything was ok, EFLC radios played fine for now, didn't see any issue. Until I listened LCHC from the EFLC version, It's just plays an advert which I'm pretty sure that wasn't suppose to happen and then it goes silent and also In Lost MC clubhouse It is silent as well. The music played of course, but when the radio ended, It played the advert and then silence. Is there a way to fix this? Or I am doing something wrong? Link to post Share on other sites

TheOriginalGunslinger 7,126 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 (edited) I don’t mind it really. Knowing those songs are on the airwaves kind of feels cool in my opinion considering within the game world the stories of TLAD and TBoGT are included as well but like separate (obviously due to the fact that there was never a character switch wheel) but all songs are playing within the game’s world if that makes sense. However, I can agree with your post to be honest as well so I can see where you are coming from. Edited October 6, 2020 by TheOriginalGunslinger Link to post Share on other sites
lilchris131 95 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Never had a problem with this mostly, only Vladivostok additions from EFLC got on my tits as it ruins Niko’s early story with having tracks that are completely irrelevant to that radio station (IMO). Not to mention that the length of these tracks delayed the blasted news stories which I like to hear. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
B Dawg 10,326 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 (edited) I've figured out how to disable episodic music from playing in IV, without disabling it in the episodes themselves. Basically, e1/2_radio.xml applies to all games, while e1/2_audio.xml applies only to the episode it belongs to. The solution is to just move all the data lines from _radio.xml over to _audio.xml (with the exception of <noloadingtune />) Download (Bonus: it also disables the Funkmaster Flex segment from playing on The Beat 102.7 as it does not fit in TLAD, if you don't want it disabled, remove EP1_SFX2 line from ep1_audio.xml) Edited February 8 by B Dawg 3 Link to post Share on other sites
