📋 About This Mod
Radio Works in Menus
Description
A simple mod that does what it says- allows the radio to continue playing instead of pausing when you open the in-game inventory menu and it's sub-menus (the one with inventory, skills, database, cyberware, map etc). Opening the main menu (with esc key) will pause music like normal. This mod is compatible with radio stations added via radioEXT as well.
Compatibility
Currently, it modifies the whole eventmetadata.json file. Any mod editing that will be incompatible. Will do it in a non obstructive way later on.
Requirements
2) RadioEXT
Installation and Use
Either install via Vortex or download the .zip file and extract the contents into your game directory.
Known Bugs
1) Other world SFX also plays alongside the music- it's not very disruptive and some see it as a feature not a bug, but it's happening due to how the mod is made. No way to fix it until I find a more refined way of doing this.
2) For some users, the music starts playing from the splash screen itself. Looking into this. Again, not really a game/mod breaking bug but def a bit annoying. will see what I can do.
