very good mod GJ

Also, I second @Lambda65 on his request for anomaly events, rituals and orbit
I was just thinking about that.

this is the best mod for music, perfomance friendly

Can you add options to play music on anomaly events, rutials, and in space?
Triggers are already in game

As far as I can judge, the mod works fine in 1,6, after updating About.xml and a rebuild. Note that until 1.6 is the stable version, the default Krafs.Rimworld.Ref version is still 1.5 (so something like https://pastebin.com/nzmyYb2b is needed until the release).

Of course: https://gitlab.com/Chais/CustomMusic-Rimworld

Do you have a git repository of this somewhere? It's rather strange to ask for help with the mod but not provide a way to do it. If you don't have time, people could submit updates, or somebody like Mlie could pick this up.

i rarely comment on mods, but this is a life changer for my star wars themed playthrought, thanks a lot.

Exactly what i was looking for. Thank you very much

I see, I figured it was a deliberate choice but wanted to confirm. I couldn't imagine it being 'forgotten' but a browse through the backlog didn't give any clues to me. Asking directly was the simplest path to an answer.

That has been requested a couple of times and I have stated every time that it won't happen. Simply because it isn't what I want this mod to be. What I always liked about music in Rimworld is that it's situational and doesn't play all the time. But I missed the option to add and configure custom songs. So that is what this mod does and it's all it will ever do.
If you just want random music to play you can use any media player. It doesn't even have to be tied in to the game at all. Get VLC, set up a playlist and set it to shuffle. This way you don't even have to deal with the finicky OGG decoder in Unity.

I'm not sure if this was ever requested in the past, but a simple "media player" in-game widget would make this mod a godsend. It feels like an odd feature to omit when it's found in other music managers

To my knowledge that isn't something Rimworld offers. I'm not extending the way Rimworld plays music in any way. Just offering a way to configurably inject songs.

It would be great if combat tracks could be limited to specific factions. For example, I have a great track in mind for combat with mechanoids, but it is ONLY suitable for combat with mechanoids, it does not fit the theme of other factions.

@Chais ask Mlie he is good whit maintaining mods

Sorry, that doesn't compute. Can you rephrase that?

The mod will only play the 5 or 6 songs she chooses from the specified folder.
The only music MOD I use is Music Manager. Please help me. For me, listening to Meshuggah during combat is more important than risking my life.

I doubt that they flagged the Anomaly music specifically and also that they'd modify the perfectly functional playback system the have to accommodate the additional flag. But I don't own the Anomaly DLC to verify that assumption.

Would it be possible to add a toggle for Anomaly tracks? As in, make them only play during anomaly events. I've noticed Anomalies have unique tracks in the basegame and don't play non-anomaly tracks, so I'd like to expand their list.

I'm not aware of it needing one. The description here has a basic guide on how to get a hold of .ogg files. Everything else is in the mod options and should be fairly self-explanatory.

There is a step by step guide on how to use this mod?

very nice!

the settings for seasons still do not save. could you tell Demrenus that needs to be fixed?

Thanks to Demrenus for that, they put in the work.

Thank you for updating to 1.5! I was looking forward to it.

This is one of my major core mods, it seems to play the music, but oddly also stops you from moving the camera due to some kind of string duplication. Please 1.5!

In desperate need of an update.

I hope you update to 1.5

maji great job this mod is.

Will be 1.5 update?

Same, you can manually play but not auto play.

Same, music not playing, as far as I can tell.

Hello, music doesn't seem to play randomly despite being set to 100 commonality. I can play it manually but I'd prefer it to play randomly. Any suggestions? I know this has been asked before, but are the any solutions?

Hell yeah, its updated.
Time to start spending hours tailoring a soundtrack for myself.

I recently found a song that I need for combat from now on. Its from the indie game Ann and its called Runway Runaway. It goes so hard.

thank you mate now i can put an ost from a fishing minigame from a game about killing demon and drinking blood as a robot

Sure, just tell them to shoot me a line. Same nick, same avatar.

hey, got some good news. i managed to find someone that can maintain this mod over at the discord where people try to get mods to work for latest versions

It's simply a weight. Assume you had only 3 songs. If they all have the same weight/commonality, they're equally likely to play. If one song has a commonality of 2 and the remaining two songs have 1, the one song is twice as likely to play as either of the other two.
Effectively each song will be inserted into a list as often as its commonality dictates, then a random entry is picked from the list. Thus a commonality of 0 effectively disables a song.

im a little bit confused over the commonality thing; is 100 (max) "it will play all the time" or "it will play as often as vanilla tracks"?

I'm willing to accept a pull request over on GitLab [gitlab.com]. But I haven't actively played since before the DLCs. 1.2 or 1.3, I think.

so...is this mod abandoned? i hope not...cause there is a bug that needs fixing where the seasons won't save in the config.

hey, will you by any chance update with a fix to seasons not saving in the config files? i wouldn't want this mod to be abandoned and as far as i know, this is the only mod where you can add your own music.

Hello, music doesn't seem to play randomly despite being set to 100 commonality. I can play it manually but I'd prefer it to play randomly. Any suggestions?

Allowed seasons doesnt work. Whenever I try to force a song to play only in certain seasons, such as summer, it doesnt save and it just reverts to playing the track in every season like default. It reverts to default as soon as I close the music menu.

And I love you, random citizen.

i love you

thanks for updatee

oh hell yes! thank you so much!

oh? well glad to see that you updated this mod.

I finally got around to updating. I said I don't currently play. Also managed to finish up the UI improvements I started last time. The per-song settings should be a little easier to parse now.
