CustomURLRadio

📻 Custom Radio

**Play your own music from any URL, right from any in-game radio in How To Fish.

Paste a direct audio link into any radio's new menu, hit play, and stream it for everyone nearby — fully synced over multiplayer.

✨ Features

• 🎵 Play any direct audio link —.mp3,.ogg,.wav,.aiff
• 🌐 Fully multiplayer-synced — what you play, everyone on the server hears, including players who join mid-track
• 🔊 Volume & bass controls with a live low-pass bass filter
• ⏱️ Seek bar to scrub through the track
• ⭐ Favorites list — save your go-to tracks and reload them with one click, persists between sessions
• 🎨 Clean custom UI — doesn't touch or replace the game's default menus

🎮 How to use

• Pick up any radio in the world.
• Press Y (default, configurable) to open the Custom Radio menu.
• Paste an audio URL into the AUDIO URL** field.
• (Optional) Give the track a name in TRACK NAME.
• Hit PLAY.

💡 Tip: Hit FAVORITE to save the current track to your favorites list at the bottom of the menu. Click any saved favorite later to instantly reload and play it.

💡 Tip: Pausing, resuming, and seeking are all synced — everyone listening to that radio stays in sync with you.

💡 Tip: Not every link works. The source needs to serve a direct audio file ending in.mp3,.ogg,.wav, etc. — streaming platform pages like YouTube or Spotify links won't work directly.

⚙️ Configuration

A config file is generated on first launch at:

BepInEx/config/neko.howtofish.customradio.cfg

| Section | Setting | Default | Description |

|---|---|---|---|

| General | ToggleKey | Y | Key that opens/closes the radio menu. Change this if it conflicts with another mod. |

| Audio | DefaultVolume | 1.0 | Starting volume for a freshly opened radio (0.0–1.0). Only used the very first time if RememberLastSettings is on. |

| Audio | DefaultBass | 1.0 | Starting bass level (0.0–2.0). 1.0 = unmodified sound; higher values apply a stronger low-pass filter. |

| Audio | RememberLastSettings | true | If enabled, the volume/bass you set on one radio carries over to every other radio you open in the same play session. |

| Menu | CloseMenuOnEscape | true | Whether pressing Escape closes the radio menu. |

📥 Installation Mod Manager / r2modman: just click Install — dependencies are handled automatically.

Manual install:

• Install BepInEx for How To Fish, if you haven't already.
• Drop the mod's.dll into BepInEx/plugins.
• Launch the game once to generate the config file, then adjust settings as needed.

🧩 Compatibility & known issues

• Playback is synced across the server — all connected players hear the same track, including those who join mid-song.
• Favorites are saved locally per-player, not shared over the network.
• Some CDNs/hosts block direct linking (CORS/hotlink protection). If a URL won't load, try a different host.
