Tommy's Radio

Most FiveM radio scripts add channel routing and an audio filter on top of pma-voice. Tommy's Radio runs its own voice server and encodes speech with P25 IMBE — the same vocoder real public-safety handhelds use. The radio sound is the codec, not an effect painted over your voice.

Channels, trunking, codeplugs, a dispatch panel, 911 calls, 3D audio, and GPS all ship in one resource. One port, one config file, nothing external to sign up for.

Will it run on your server?#

The answer is almost always yes, but this is the part worth checking first.

• FiveM artifact 4752 or newer. Type version in your server console to check.
• One free TCP port, default 7777, reachable from the internet. It cannot share FiveM's 30120.
• tLib v0.6 or newer — free, and the only dependency.
• A framework is optional. ESX, QBCore, QBX, ND_Core, ox_core, and nat2k15 are auto-detected. Standalone works.
• It does not replace your proximity voice. tRadio captures its own microphone stream and runs beside pma-voice or Mumble, not instead of it.

Try it before you buy it#

All three are live right now, on the same server. None of them ask for an email.

What you get#

Radio that sounds like radio#

A WebAssembly build of op25's IMBE encoder. Your voice is encoded once and decoded by every listener — in game, on the dispatch panel, and by bystanders standing next to you. P25 is set per channel, so a digital dispatch channel and an analog tac channel live on the same radio.

Conventional and trunked channels#

Conventional is one shared frequency: everyone on it hears everyone else. Trunked splits units onto sub-frequencies by location, so units spread across the map stop stepping on each other — and dispatch still reaches all of them. Patch any two channels together on the fly, and the patch survives a restart.

A dispatch panel, and a working 911 line#

Browser panel plus a native Windows app with global push-to-talk. Dispatchers transmit to any channel, patch frequencies, arm announcement groups, replay a transmission they missed, and set callsigns.

Players dial /911 — or 911 on their LB Phone — and land in a queue with their number, location, and message. The dispatcher accepts and they talk, hands-free, ESC to hang up. No radio or codeplug needed to call.

Speakers you can place, tones you can drop#

Grab a coordinate in game with one command, paste it into the admin panel with a radius and an optional prop, and group speakers by station. A dispatcher picks a tone and a target, and it plays at those coordinates in 3D — station alerting, tone-outs, PA stingers. Everyone inside the radius hears it positioned. Nobody outside does.

Everyone nearby hears your radio#

Stand next to a unit taking a call and you hear their radio at their position — voice, tones, the siren behind them, rotor wash, gunshots fired mid-transmission. Earbuds gate your outgoing broadcast, and a configured earpiece item enables them automatically.

A radio that's really in the dash#

Not a screenshot taped to the dashboard. It is a streamed prop with a live display — zone, channel, signal bars, status LEDs — rendering the same thing the player's radio shows. Walk away from the car and it takes over as the audio source at longer range.

Placement is per vehicle model, done in game: sit in the car, open the editor, and drag it into place with a Three.js gizmo. Save, and every client sees it immediately.

Codeplugs — one radio per department#

The same thing real agencies program into their fleets. A codeplug decides which channels a unit can transmit on, which it can only scan, which radio models it may carry, and whose GPS blips it sees. Map jobs to codeplugs in one table, optionally per rank, so a sergeant's radio carries channels a patrol officer's does not.

Coverage you can plan — and lose#

Put signal towers at coordinates you pick. Strength falls off with distance from the nearest one, and with degradation on, a weak signal audibly chews up the audio — the edge of the county sounds like the edge of the county.

Geo zones work the other way: a coordinate and a radius around the mall or the prison, and a unit walking in switches to that area's channel and back out again.

Built to be taken apart#

Radio models are HTML and CSS folders; ten ship. Twenty-five tone slots. Five dispatch themes, plus a four-tier theming SDK — recolour with tokens, restyle with CSS, swap individual components, or rebuild the console from a declarative template. None of it needs JavaScript.

One click, no code, no restart#

Radio UIs, dispatch themes, and tones publish to the tMarketplace. Find one, press install in Admin Panel → Marketplace, and it shows up in every player's style picker the next time they open the radio. No file transfer, no restart tRadio, no editing anything.

Live today: extra handhelds, a car radio, a tone pack, and a full dispatch-console theme. Because layouts and themes are just HTML and CSS, anyone can build one — and publishing needs no review queue.

Also included#

• A live admin panel. Every audio knob, FX setting, signal curve, and timer, pushed to every connected client instantly.
• Alerts and panic. Coloured banners with activate, repeat, and clear tones, plus man-down escalation and announcement groups.
• An official Stream Deck plugin. Free, and it works with Stream Deck Mobile and OpenDeck.
• Details that sell it. Battery drain, bonk tones, spoken zone and channel announcements. All optional.
• Multi-server federation. Satellites share one voice server and one dispatch panel.
• Integrations. LB Phone, LB Radio, ImperialCAD, and Discord OAuth for panel access.
• An API. Lua exports, a REST API, and a Socket.IO event stream.
• Translatable. Every player-facing string lives in one JSON file.
