Display your stage's music at the start of the match!

Music Display Template




Want to display your stage's songs at the start of the match so players know what they're hearing? Tired of Rivals' built in limit of four songs? Or maybe you just want to give Aether Mode some exclusive music?

Welcome to the Music Display Template! An easy to use stage with instructions and detailed comments on each part of the code for you to use in your own stages! It features:
  • A popup during match start that displays song titles, artists, and albums, along with a cover sprite.
  • Customizable song limit that bypasses Rivals' built in limit of four songs.
  • The ability to enable Aether Mode exclusive music.
  • Four selectable songs during the countdown by holding shield and a direction on either stick or the keyboard.
  • Intro support, same as normal custom stages.
  • And flexibility to be modified to fit your stages however desired!

To begin, download the stage and locate the files in your downloaded workshop items folder.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\383980

Then copy the stage or the scripts over into a local stage folder.
C:\Users\{Your Account}\AppData\Local\RivalsofAether\stages

From there, you'll want to open _README.gml, which contains all the information about how to use the template.

I would also recommend giving either the official Rivals workshop manual or the unofficial fan manual a look if this is your first time creating a stage, both of which can be found here:
https://rivalsofaether.com/stages/
https://rivalswsmanual.miraheze.org/wiki/Stages

If you have any questions or issues, please reach out via the comments on this steam page or via Discord DMs (I'm in the Extended Workshop Discord Server, find me there to DM me).
Credit is not required but feel free to do so if you wish, but DO NOT CLAIM THIS CODE AS YOUR OWN. Thank you.

Curious which stages use the template? Check out this collection, which contains every stage currently using the music display!




The template has been setup with eight different songs from various series to provide an example of how to use the template. These can be ignored upon using the music display but I've included the songs here for those interested.
  1. Battle! (Champion) (Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl: Super Music Collection)
  2. Tiger! Tiger! (Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Original Soundtrack)
  3. GBA Bowser Castle 1 [Remix] (Mario Kart 7)
  4. Boo's House: Lap Music (Maximum Overdrive - Team Sonic Racing Original Soundtrack)
  5. Advance [Remix] (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)
  6. Vs. Ridley [Remix] (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)
  7. Beyond the Speed Of... (Sonic Runners Original Soundtrack Vol.1)
  8. Pigstep (Stereo Mix) (Minecraft: Nether Update (Original Game Soundtrack))

Weird, the game should have added that for you. Glad I could help though!

Okay yes, I finally figured out what I was missing.
Apparently I forgot to add the [obj1] into my config.ini.
But then it didn't work until I noticed I forgot the "article=1".
And its finally working now. Thanks.

Based on the guide, you're missing the article marker.
Open your stage in the editor, and switch the menu bar up top to the fourth option (should be yellow icons). Place the first one down where you want the display.

Also noticed it won't play all 5 songs currently, so double check the first line of code in update. You should see a 4, make it a 5. That's how you tell the game how many song options there are, so can't hurt to double check it.

I'm not quite sure, but I have a feeling though.
And if you're confused on what I'm talking about, here's a guide I wrote.

Placing the article marker determines where the display shows up on screen, there's no one spot for it, place it wherever you think it looks good.
As for the cover_strip, it changes if the cur_song variable does, so my guess is you missed some code in update so the song is always being randomized. Did you change anything inside update at all?

Hi, so I want to use the music display for an existing stage that I made, but I ran into a problem.
I did exactly as the instructions said (except for probably the article marker because it doesn't say where to put it unless i'm dumb), but when I go test it, the music display does not appear. However, if I go off-screen, I see the cover_strip just constantly flashing album covers, and I don't know how to fix it. Please help!

Oh, I never knew you added this for people to use. That's very cool! I'll make sure to try using this sometime in the future for when I decide to update pre-existing stages I made with Aether variants.

Definitely gonna be using this, lol. Making a stage currently that I really want to have more than 4 songs for, and having people actually be able to see which song it is would be awesome.
