M18 Jobsite Radio V1.4

This build retains the rebuilt realistic model, pickup behaviour and textured finish. Power, volume and the selected song save with each individual radio.

Installation

Close FS25. Back up and replace FS25_JamoJobsiteRadio.zip in your mods folder. Leave it zipped. Enable the radio and FS25_interactiveControl.
All multiplayer players must use the same versions and playlist files.

Interactive Control

• Stand near the radio on foot.
• Activate Interactive Control using your configured IC binding, then aim at and click the five front buttons.
• Top centre: power on/off.
• Middle left/right: volume down/up in 10% steps.
• Lower left/right: previous/next track.
• The hovered control displays its action. Volume buttons show the current percentage and track buttons show the current song.
• There is no radio menu or R activation prompt. Enable FS25_interactiveControl for controls.
• Changing volume does not restart the song.
• Changing tracks starts the new selection immediately if on. An off radio stays off.
• The selected song loops until you choose another track.
• Use normal empty-hand pickup controls to carry or place the radio.

Playlist and Adding Music

• The only bundled track is the original JAMO demo instrumental.
• Add your own mono OGG/WAV files to sounds/myMusic/ and list them in config/playlist.xml.
• Read ADD_YOUR_MUSIC.txt for examples and ZIP steps.
• The next/previous IC buttons cycle through your playlist.

Features

• Volume: 0-100%, default 70%.
• Full nearby volume within 2 m, attenuating toward silence at 40 m.
• The emitter follows the radio.
• Native 3D audio applies the distance fade once.
• The game’s Vehicle sound slider still affects overall loudness.
• The demo audio is normalized.
• Display, antenna and charger features remain cosmetic.
• XML, playlist references, audio decoding and archive checks were completed.
• This build still needs in-game testing of IC targeting, song switching, save/reload and multiplayer behaviour.
• Matching JAMO sunset artwork is used for the shop image, 512 px, and mod selection icon, 256 px, both with DDS mipmaps.
• All five X markers now use size 0.040, the Interactive Control default.
• This is over twice the previous size, with correspondingly larger click areas.
• Use the configured IC click binding while pointing at a marker.
• Stand within 1.5 metres horizontally of the radio to operate its IC buttons.
• Vertical allowance is 2 metres for radios on a truck bed.
• The large X markers and 2-40 metre audio distance fade are retained.
