Music Player

Portable music player, inspired by Pocket Music Player by Hubix. This mod attempts to expand upon the idea and provide a wider array of features and polish.

This mod was made for the 111th Company 'Fiends' unit. If you're interested in joining us, you can join the Discord here: https://discord.gg/zjkSVGJ2Zv

Once you have the Portable Music Player item, you can place it down by self-interacting and selecting 'Place Portable Music Player'.

You can attach the music player to yourself or vehicles through ACE, similar to how chemlights are attached to things.
Alternatively, you can install a music player directly in a vehicle.

See the screenshots for examples on how to use the Portable Music Player.

By default, this mod only comes with support for tracks shipped with Arma 3. (And an optional toggle in CBA settings to disable them showing in the menu).

Custom tracks may be added through a mission, or through a submod.
You may visit the GitHub page[github.com] for information on how to add your own tracks and track categories.

• The volume of sounds played through the Music Player is tied to effects volume.
  
• Currently, the ACE interaction menu is used for selecting the song to play, which becomes very cluttered when on radial mode and there are a lot of tracks. I hope to get around to adding a proper UI for selecting tracks eventually.
  
• If a track is started while local mute is enabled, and then subsequently disabled, the track will not be un-muted. At this time, I don't know why this happens.
  
• Currently, sounds are played on the server to determine when to advance the Music Player queue for all connected players. This means that the Music Player will not work if the sounds are not present on the server. I am currently working on a better way to do this.
  
• Trying to carry or drag a music player that is attached to something else will cause weird behavior. This is probably due to ACE not expecting draggables also being attachable.

This mod's source code is available on GitHub[github.com].

If you have any bug reports or feature requests, you can make an issue or pull request on the GitHub page. You can also find me at scottythepilot on the ACE discord.

Once again, credit goes to Hubix for the original idea.
