This is just a tiny adjustment to make the Pirate
Radio station stop disappearing once you leave a
certain portion of the city.
Now as an extra tip For anyone who might not know here is how you turn off
the music in the pause menu:
Drop the edited file in the '1-MODDERS_-_PUT_YOUR_OWN_PERSONAL_MODS_HERE' directory located in
Gentlemen Of The Row/optional_mod_stuff and compile it. Drop your compiled files in your Saints Row 2
folder and enjoy your game.
Note: This does not effect any missions or activities at all, so it should be safe to use in your normal game.
