linuxgurugamer Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 (edited) Valentia woke up and stretched.. It was a long mission, but finally was in radio range of the station at Eve. She turned to the other Kerbal in the spacecraft, “Hey Jebediah, can you turn on the radio to see what’s playing?” Jeb took a swan dive and did a mid-cabin somersault to get to the radio, grabbed hold of a stanchion to stop his movement, and turned on the radio, and tuned through the static. “Val, there are 3 stations, I’ll turn on the clearest station”. The sounds of the station wafted through the air, relaxing both travelers. KPRS is a set of parts which will allow you to build a transmitter tower and allow you to receive radio stations throughout the Kerbol system. The contents of the various radio channels are supplied with the mod, although you are able to create your own channels from static files if you like. Usage Create one or more transmitters A radio station will consist of the following: Antenna tower, either the composite or the individual pieces constructed on site. Taller antennas will have greater range. A transmitter box (Note that a transmitter box uses 10 ec/sec) Power supply. Will need to be able to supply the needs of the transmitter box(es) and amplifiers Optionally one or more amplifiers (each amplifier also needs 10 ec/sec) Create a radio station. There are three antenna parts, which can be stacked on top of each other to make a taller tower, the taller it is, the greater the range. There is also a composite antenna, which consists of all the antenna tower parts together which will animate to be raised. To increase the power of the transmitter, attach multiple TransmitterBases to the antenna Once placed, right-click on the transmitter base to open the PAW, and then click the button to select a channel After selecting a channel, you need to activate it, again by right-clicking on the transmitter base to open the PAW and click the activate button Note: The transmitter box by itself has a very limited range. You need to add an antenna tower to get decent range. Receive radio broadcast To receive, you need an antenna. Currently all antennas have the ability to receive radio broadcasts, including command pods with built-in antennas. Also, currently unmanned vessels also allow the receiver to be used Once on a vessel, click the radio button to open the radio panel All active channels are listed in the scrollbox. Click on a channel to select it. The five buttons right below are to save selected channels. Right click on a button to either clear or save the current channel To turn the radio on or off, click the power button on the left, the led to the left of the button will toggle between red for off and green for on The lettered buttons currently are not implemented. The dial at the right is the volume dial. You can adjust the volume either by clicking on the dial, or by using the ^ and v buttons just to the lower left of it Availability Source: https://github.com/linuxgurugamer/K.P.R.S Download: https://github.com/linuxgurugamer/K.P.R.S/releases or https://spacedock.info/mod/3504/Kerbal Public Radio Service (KPRS) License: CC-BY-SA Dependencies Click Through Blocker ToolbarController SpaceTuxLibrary ModuleManager TODO Receivers are now using EC, still need to be tuned Background Processing regarding EC usage on the transmitter stations has not yet been implemented Would be nice to get more radio stations Need to add Ease-in/Ease-out for going EVA, coming back from EVA, changing vessels Acknowledgements Original Idea suggested by @AtomicTech Radio made by @AtomicTech Audio file wrangling managed by @AtomicTech Code written by @linuxgurugamer Toolbar button made by Flaticon.com Shuffle icon made by https://www.freepik.com Tower models made by @Wyleg Additional model work done by @AlphaMensae Note for Streamers Some of the audio streams may trigger copyright claims, so be aware that you might have a problem with them.

Krakatoa Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 This is really cool, thanks LGG! I guess I'm not quite sure how the copyright would work, but there's all sorts of fun things in the Old Time Radio section of archive.org, including full runs of radio dramas like The Shadow, and they're free to download because it's all way out of copyright.

I'm the one in charge of handling new channels Give me the audio file of you saying "Welcome to Krakatoa AM, erupting out of your radio no matter where you might be out there in the cold, cold cosmos" in spanish: "Bienvenido a Krakatoa AM, saliendo de tu radio sin importar dónde te encuentres en el frío, frío cosmos".

RadioFreeKerbin Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 I've been planning to set up an icecast internet radio station made up of music played on my Twitch stream. Would it be possible to set this up to play an internet radio station, maybe via a streaming mp3 file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
