Bizarre Interference V10 addon

Bizarre Interference

Strange signals and oddities now interfere with zone radio stations. Could it be undiscovered anomalies? Unknown forces at play? The Noosphere? Ghosts? Mutants? Stalkers messing around? Who knows? (I know.)

Some of these sounds were recorded by me on various WebSDRs, some made by me, some taken from other places, like the Signal Identification Wiki, which I would like to thank for their wonderful library of unidentified signals. Some lines were voiced by Yarkov_Desorec. Also a bunch of funny sounds where taken from OP 2.1/2.2, Lifeweb and some other places. I advise to occasionally whip out the RF receiver or tune into the PDA radio during emissions, maybe something cool is on?

I personally got tired of hearing the same jokes and references to Solyanka developer infighting, as well as Yurik calling in saying that Marked One just saved him, so this can hopefully serve as a fresh and creepy alternative to the dusty and overused "Tridognait" voicelines from way back in the early days of Solyanka. Also this is somewhat like my first foray into sound design.

Goes well with Catspaw's NERFS

CHANGELOG:

• 18.04.23 Release - Happy World Amateur Radio day!
• 19.04.23 Version 2: Overhauled most sounds, removed potentially irritating ones, new additions. Demo video coming soon.
• 21.04.23 Version 3: Slight overhaul to some sounds, a couple additions.
• 27.04.23 Version 4: Small overhaul again. Replaced Doom 3 samples due to demand and their overuse in mods.
• 08.05.23 Version 5: Fixed some scripting which prohibited many sounds from playing (Thanks to Yarkov_Desorec) Added an optional little addon which changes the radio interaction sounds from stock sfx to original samples.
• 11.05.23 Version 6: Original voice acting by Yarkov_Desorec for some sounds, fixed radius and other parameters, also thanks to Yarkov. Previously optional radio interaction resound now included in the main mod, as it's very minor and only adds to the addon.
• 12.05.23 Version 7: Added a patch for Radio Controlled Explosives, updated the preview image.
• 27.06.23 Version 8: New sounds and some revisions. Now every audio file should have roughly the same volume. Added patch for Catspaw's New Extensible RF Sources v1
• 28.06.23 HOTFIX V8.5: Changed noise_emission_7 to a less irritating placeholder while I figure out why it plays more often than the others. Also changed the injured woman on channel 1 to be more realistic and a bit harder to listen to.
• 30.06.23 Version 9: Slight touchups as always. Optional ghost on the cellular frequencies who will give you a heads up if there are Stalkers nearby, voiceacted by yours truly.
• 15.08.23 Version 10: A couple new sounds and an optional PDA sound rework
• 18.08.23 Demo video published
• 28.09.23 Fix: No more patch for NERFS, use the NERFS BI patch instead. Added a couple new sounds
• 23.10.23 Fix: Removed PDA sound rework, check it out separately. Slight sounds rework

Haunted Frequency!

An old anecdote among Stalkers is that of a certain Bandit named Lemon who managed to reach the Wishgranter during the goldrush following the first Brain Scorcher shutdown. As the sole survivor of his gang, having fought tooth and nail to reach the Sarcophagus he finally made it. Drenched in blood, he stood before the unspeakable might of the Wishgranter, whose booming voice commanded him to state his wish.
"I wish... to be free from these earthly boundaries." he said on his knees. The Wishgranter lit up.
After that his fate remains a mystery, but some have claimed that Lemon transcended into a higher state of being, becoming one with the fabric of reality itself. Some Stalkers report hearing his voice mixed with cellular interference on their gadgets, often giving advice or trying to be helpful. One even claimed that he had a conversation with the voice, who did not seem thrilled about his new plane of existence, to put it lightly...

PLANS:

Syncing the blowout timings.

COMPATIBILITY:

It should be compatible with all modpacks as it only replaces some .ogg files and item_radio.script, no complex scripting or anything. You can freely install and uninstall at any point in your playthrough. There are compatibility patches for other addons that change item_radio.script.

CREDITS:

Made by Bobzhe, feel free to use it in your own stuff.

Huge thanks to mint004, who allowed me to use their fantastic drawing for the preview.

Also very big thank you to Yarkov Desorec for helping with scripts, voice acting, for his "No Radio Commercials & No Radio Shows" addon which I used as a base, and for being incredibly friendly and helpful in explaining some details of stalker modding to me :)

If you have any issues with the addon, please let me know. I consider this mod finished, the only thing planned is synchronizing the blowout-related timings.
