Video Example

Audio Examples

Nearby Radio

If someone nearby has a radio, you'll hear the radio traffic they’re listening to coming from their device. The closer they are the louder the radio traffic will be. However, if they're using an earpiece, the audio won’t be audible to others.

Radio in Vehicle

When someone with a nearby radio enters a vehicle, the radio audio will become muffled. However, if a door is open, or a window is down or broken, the audio will become clearer and louder again.

Nearby Emergency Phone Call

When someone is making an emergency call to a dispatcher, nearby users will faintly hear the dispatcher's voice coming from the caller's phone.

Nearby Radio Scanner

When someone is carrying (or has placed down) a radio scanner, nearby users will hear the channel that the scanner is set to.

Usage

Default Chatter Volume

Adjust Volume

Players can adjust the nearby radio volume in-game using the /radiovolume command.

Ex: /radiovolume 75 sets the nearby radio to 75% volume.

Technical Information

When a player is within 15 game units of an active radio, they will hear the live chatter from the nearest radio. If multiple radios within range are tuned to different channels, the player will hear all those channels blended, but the sound will primarily emit from the closest radio source.

This feature is experimental and subject to both change and improvements.

In-Game Earpiece

Some communities may offer custom EUP (clothing and accessories) that players can use to personalize their characters. For radio users, an option to wear an earpiece (headphones) could be useful, allowing them to listen to radio chatter privately without others nearby overhearing.

Communities can easily select which clothing items will be treated as a radio earpiece.

1. Open the Earpiece Menu

Open the earpiece configuration menu via /radiomenu > Configure Earpiece Chatter

2. Toggle Earpiece Items

To add a chatter exclusion click "Add Earpiece Item" and select the component you'd like to add. Additionally, select any specific textures that will be considered an earpiece.

Once selected, anyone wearing this earpiece will not emit radio chatter to nearby users.

3. Removing Earpieces

To remove an earpiece option, navigate to the Remove Earpiece Item Menu option > Select the specific earpiece item > and Confirm Removal

Manual Earpiece IDs (Advanced)

Manually Configure Earpiece IDs

The earpieces.json file defines earpiece items (custom EUP prop IDs) that block radio chatter from being heard nearby.

Component IDs

Look here for the component IDs for props (hats, glasses, earpieces, etc.). To find component IDs for drawables (shirts, pants, backpacks, etc.), look here and add 14 to the number.

For example, to exclude a clothing item under ACCESSORIES, it might look like this:

{
  componentId = 22, -- accessories (8) + offset (14) is 22
  drawableId = 78,  -- Number in vMenu
  texture = 0,      -- Number in vMenu (or 0 for all textures)
}
