Pocket Music Player

Description
Description

Pocket music player is a simple way to listen to your favorite music wherever you are! Waiting for your friends to finish making loadouts in virtual arsenal? Just play some music and mellow out. Wanting to assault enemy position via chopper in style? Attach music player to your vehicle and play a little bit of sweet 60's rock. If you don't have any particular song on your mind just hit Shuffle and let the game choose for you!

Usage

In order to use Pocket Music Player you need to have it in your inventory, this can be done by either giving it to your soldier in virtual arsenal (Pocket Music Player can be found in miscellaneous items section) or by spawning the item using commands, the item classname is: HubixPocketMusicPlayer

To actually place Pocket Music Player you need to use ACE self interaction menu and select option Place Music Player
Doing this will spawn the Pocket Music Player in front of you and remove it from your inventory, You can always take the player back into your inventory by using using ACE interaction menu on the music player and choosing option Take Music Player

To play a song simply use ACE interaction menu on the spawned music player, choose option play a song
and then choose the song that you want to play.

Shuffle option will indefinitely play random songs one after another, Shuffle option won't work without any song extension loaded.

Also if you need to relocate the music player you can do this by using ACE interaction menu on the music player and choosing either Carry or Drag option.

Music player can be attached to players and vehicles for situations when you need to have both of your hands free but still want to listen on the move. In order to do that use ACE interaction menu on the music player and choose either Attach to yourself or Attach to nearest vehicle options.
To detach music player from yourself or vehicle simply choose Detach from object option.

Other players on the server also need to have the music addon loaded in order to hear songs from it.

Yes, but they also need to have the mod and song extensions loaded.

Hey, glad you are liking the mod! To detach the radio from your player character you need to look directly down (since the radio is attached on characters stomach) and use interaction menu (not self interaction), then use the detach from object option.

As for the second question. Yes, you need to restart the game each time you change the song extension, it is so because arma needs to load the extension mod again to be aware of the changes you made.

additionally, do we need to restart the game everytime the extension file for adding your own custom songs is changed?
Bandog 5 Sep, 2024 @ 6:15am 
Amazing mod, just one question, how you remove the player from your character after attaching it to yourself? I dosent give me the option to remove it in the ace menu
