📋 About This Mod
Summary
Makes fixes to Radio New Vegas where "Big Iron" by Marty Robbins would play twice as often as any other song, sometimes even twice in a row! This was a scripting error which has "Big Iron" play in place of "Stars of the Midnight Range" by Johnny Bond. This of course has be fixed, and the proper song now plays. Therefore, Radio New Vegas and Mojave Music Radio share a total of 5 songs now, which are "Big Iron", "Heartaches by the Number", "It's a Sin to Tell a Lie", "Johnny Guitar" and "Stars of the Midnight Range".
There were also missing entries for 4 songs as well. To explain this, there was meant to be a list of 25 songs, each numbered accordingly. However, numbered lists 11, 14,15 and 17 were missing. These were all meant to be for the songs written and performed by Josh Eric Sawyer specifically for the game. They include "Cobwebs and Rainbows", "Home on the Wastes", "New Vegas Valley" and "Streets of New Reno". Those entries have also been added. They were actually meant to be featured on the radio station, as they have been credited as being featured on the station. You can hear these songs also being played within The Aces Theatre of TheTops Casino.
Other Misc Fixes
Small Bar Radio in Prospector's Saloon plays Radio New Vegas instead of Mojave Music Radio. This was because it was very confusing when Trudy asked for the player to fix it, and made reference to enjoying Mr New Vegas' voice, even though it was set to Mojave.
Update History
1. 0 - Made fixes to entry track 25 playing Big Iron. Also added in entries for 11, 14, 15 and 17 adding new songs.
1. 1 Made proper changes to entries 11, 14, 15 and 17 setting the previous song played to 13 instead of their proper tracks, therefore causing multiple replays of the same song.
Bugfix Version - Does not add any new songs, just fixes the "Stars of the Midnight Range" song.
