HtF Radio Music

English | 繁體中文

Puts your own music on the in-game radio — one song per frequency if you want, playing back to back like a real station, with an optional mode that keeps the whole lobby on the same track.

Only you need it. The frequency is a SyncVar, so other people can see you tuning the dial, but the audio files are local: your custom music is heard by you alone. Listen Together is the exception — see below.

Where the music goes

BepInEx/config/HtF.RadioMusic/
├── song.ogg          ← loose files are handed out to the stations in turn
├── another.ogg
├── 1/                ← anything in here is pinned to station 1
│   └── ...
└── 2/                ← station 2, and so on

The folder and a short text file explaining this are created for you on first run.

.ogg, .wav and .mp3 are supported. .ogg is the safest — Unity decodes it most reliably at runtime. .mp3 does not load in every environment; failures are reported in the BepInEx log.

Press F8 to pick up files you just added, without restarting the game.

One song per frequency

Set Station Count to 0 (the default) and it follows your track count: every song gets its own frequency, capped at however many fit in the 88–108 band.

Fitting more than vanilla's seven stations in that band takes Station Width. Vanilla stations are full volume within 0.5 of centre and only fall silent past 1.5, so two of them need 3.0 between them to stop bleeding into each other. Narrow them and the clean spacing narrows with them — any number of stations separates cleanly. The cost is that tuning gets finer, which is what a real FM dial feels like anyway. 0 picks a width from the spacing automatically.

Listen Together

Turn on Listen Together and everyone in the lobby hears the same track at the same position.

Each station's tracks form one continuous timeline, like a station's schedule, and FishNet's network time decides where playback currently is. It is pure computation — no packets are sent.

Two conditions, and the mod cannot enforce either:

• everyone has to install this mod, and
• everyone's music folder has to hold the same files. The mod cannot hand out audio for you.

While it is on, Next Track does nothing. Skipping is a local action and cannot be shared.

Install

Mod manager (recommended). Install through Thunderstore Mod Manager or r2modman and start the game modded. BepInEx comes along as a dependency.

Manual. Install BepInEx 5.4.23.5 first, then drop HtF.RadioMusic.dll into BepInEx/plugins/.

Settings

BepInEx/config/htf.radiomusic.cfg, written on first run. Everything is also editable in game through HtF Config Menu (F9).

That hiss is deliberate, by the way — the game derives it from how far off-station you are, to imitate FM. Static Noise Volume just scales it.

When Next Track does nothing

With Station Count on automatic, each station holds exactly one song, so there is no next track to skip to. For Next Track and Auto-Advance to mean anything you need fewer stations than tracks — −1, the game's own stations, is the easy way.

Why the .cfg file is in Chinese

The section and key names inside the .cfg are Chinese, and they stay that way in every language. They are identifiers, not labels: BepInEx uses them to find your saved values, so translating them would make every setting you had tuned look like a brand new one and reset it to default. The names in the table above are what the in-game settings page shows you.

Compatibility

• How to Fish 1.0.9, Unity 6000.4.4f1 (Mono)
• BepInEx 5.4.23.5, Harmony 2.9

Patch targets are verified at startup, so a game update that moves them produces a warning in the BepInEx log rather than silent no-ops.

Changelog

All notable changes to this package. Versions follow semantic versioning.

1.0.0

Initial release.

• Plays .ogg / .wav / .mp3 from BepInEx/config/HtF.RadioMusic on the in-game radio. Loose files are handed out to the stations in turn; numbered subfolders pin tracks to a station.
• Station count: leave the game's own stations alone, set a number, or let it follow the track count so every song gets its own frequency.
• Station width, so more stations than vanilla can fit in the 88-108 band without bleeding into each other.
• Auto-advance: a station with several tracks plays them back to back like a real station.
• Listen Together: everyone in the lobby hears the same track at the same position, derived from FishNet's network time. No packets are sent; it requires everyone to have the same files.
• Adjustable static noise and music volume, and an option to keep playing through boss fights.
• Next track (F7) and reload music (F8) hotkeys.
• Bilingual UI, following the language setting of HtF_ConfigMenu or the game's own language.
