Several txt files already included in download archive as guide
Compatibility
- ATP will disable and replace radio interface from HUD mods. (DK22Pac's GTAV HUD's, _AG's GTAIV HUD)
- Using another music player script (ex. GTA Underground, Walkman Visual, etc) might result in several tracks from each mod plays at same time. Make sure to turn off one of them. (Pocket Player mode is recommended)
- Not fully compatible with modloader - ATP unable to scan files from modloader folder. You had to install ATP files in root folder.
About Audio Filenames
- Audio filenames can consists of alphanumeric letters (A-Z, a-z or 0-9) and space.
- Symbols could cause problems with the game. Few recommended symbols that can be used are - _ ' + = ( )
- Filenames containing foreign letters that are not supported by the game also not advised.
Downsides, Bugs & Issues
- Shortcut files are not supported
- Incompatible with modloader installation
- Several symbol characters in a filename could cause problem. Slashes (/ or \) and Quotation marks (") could crash the mod.
- In other rare case, player stuck performing radio tuning animation. Simply exit vehicle to solve this problem.
- Alt+Tabbing or similiar methods may left music playing in background.
