Radio New Vegas Here...

.. and I've just gone through a rebalancing, you could say! No longer will you hear Johnny Guitar followed by Johnny Guitar followed by another quick playing of Johnny Guitar after installing the RNV Rebalancing Mod!

To make a long story short, there is a rumor that the reason there are 48 songs in the Fallout3/data/sounds/songs/radionv/ folder and yet only 8 or so play is due to a scripting error. Whatever the real reason behind Johnny Guitar being Mr. Vegas's one and only song, the aforementioned RNV Rebalancing mod was made to add some variety to the radio.

Straight from the author's mod page:
This is my first mod and relatively simple -- it adjusts how often the headliner/special RNV songs get played and it also puts 6 songs in between each news brief. Details below:

--Unmodded RNV will either do a generic intro or a special intro for one of its headliner songs (e.g. "Sometimes your spurs go jingle jangle" --> Jingle Jangle is coming up).

--With this mod, the special intros will not play until 9 "generic" songs have played. This allows the less known songs to get some more air time.

--On top of that, there are 6 songs between each news brief (instead of the default 3) and there will be no repeats in the mix.

All in all, it should be more music, more varied music and less repeated vocals.


So cheers, and until next time Wasteland Listeners, enjoy a change of music!
