I have used this mod for YEARS with Lekmod no issues.

Also fixes bugged music as you can skip the song.

I ran into a curious problem; it says dependencies are missing, but I'm not missing anything. So I checked the files in the file location, and it says I have Music Changer version 2, not version 3. All I did was hit the subscribe button and it appears to have downloaded an older version of the mod...? I've already validated and re-installed several times, no changes.

It works!, all I had to do was verify the integrity of game files for steam to recognize and download the mod.
On steam, right-click on the game/properties/installed files and click on "verify integrity of game files"

Thanks, Terra Novum was driving me insane.

I subscribed, but see no way to download music changer...

Super

It doesn't install mod files. I always check the new folder whenever download new mod. But this doesn't offer anything.

@ Bullwinkle sorry to hear that! This mod uses an existing debug function of the game, which is "music skip". Somehow Firaxis didn't think of including a button for this function for the players, but I did. However, the inner workings of this music skipping function are out of my reach.

Playing BNW as Zulu, this mod does not get me away from primitive out-of-tune african instruments. I hit the change music button many times, even rapid fire, and it still feels like I'm trapped at a Yoko Ono concert. (If you're too young to know Yoko Ono, you owe it to yourself to watch any ten seconds of her on YT. She was the gf of one of The Beatles back in the day, and hers is the worst music of all time for planet Earth.)

not working for me, i dont see a button

i have all dlc's is that why?

how do i delete mod cache?

@GamerBossTNT I would try deleting the mod cache! It will take some time for Civ V to load all the mods again, but it might fix your problem. Also, delete any duplicate mods / mod folders you might have

i downloaded it but i cant find it. i looked at the pic but its not there. how do i fix this?

Good to know, thank you

@Luka uwu
Sadly, not that I know of. The only way to do this is turning off in-game music and creating a playlist of your own using the music files in the game directory.

Hello. Is there an addon that allows music to be played from the ethnicity of a civ you are not playing as?

Thanks

That is weird. Can anyone else confirm the bug?
Do the songs change normally if you don't press the button?
I would try validating the game files and double checking if another mod alters music files for a start.

And I'm playing as Wilhelm II, i.e. European.

It was silent and now it is playing music. However, it selects a random Asian piece and then plays that on loop.

It doesn't seem to be working anymore. Any idea as to why? Thanks.

@Kill Lion @Alexk492 there’s a mod for XCOM EW Long War that allows you to use custom musics for all the various gamestates, so it’s not completely out of the question, even if it would be complicated to implement for Civ

Great mod! I was wondering you are working on/know of a mod that will toggle a civ's theme (like for america there's be my country tis of thee or the star spangled banner) or something along those lines.

@Alexk492 Just set in-game music volume to zero and play your own playlist on a music player. If you mean letting the game choose based on peace / war and leaders, then no.

Do you know how to add custom music to the game?

would be nice to have a real music changer because switching the music based on your civilization is shit

thank you for offer me great mod.
but when I click the music button, music is changed randomly based on my civilization. I am sick of it to listen the same music all the time.
I want to listen other civilization's music during play one civilization or I want to select music.
Would you please update this mod??

If you could make a option in which you can turn on and off the music as well that'd be nice, as I like listening to music off of youtube like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trnt9Q4A414 then switching back to the normal in game music, only way I can currently do this is turning the music volume off then back on, it'd be easier if you added this in your current mod, please consider my idea and thank you for this amazing mod!

No problem - I figured out all the music is available in the "music" section of steam and can easily be played in-game. Still a good idea for a mod though.

I see. This mod was originally made back in 2013, and it uses a debug feature (a skip song command which was present in the game, but inaccessible). Back then, it did indeed swtich to other continent's music after a while. Things might have changed.

I have pressed this button hundreds of times and it never cycles to other civilizations...

Thanks for the quick reply.
I did some more research and yes, you're absolutely correct in what you said.

I might be wrong, but I believe achievements are only available for normal single-player mode.
The moment you select "Mods" on the main menu, you opt out of achievements for that game.

Does this mod disable achievements?

Is there a way to manually select which song I hear? like I open the music list and if I'm playing as Hiawatha I want to hear his theme, but when it's over I have to reload the game to play it again. I'd like to hear the themes of myself and the opponents I'm fighting more often, AND find the name of a particular song I like. If that is possible I think it would be amazing.

I love it! Thanks!

Are there an equivalent mod for civ 6? Would you look into making one and handing over the maintanance once it's up?

for some reason i hear the click sound when i click it but nothing happens V:

Greetings,

I run all my pc applications as administrator - im not claiming your mod is not working - just the issue I had when trying to subscribe to it- so yeah, probably a steam bug.
And yes, 1 file had to be re-downloaded and installed after I ran the civ5 integrity of the game.
Its ok - ill just pass on the mod - thank u for your reply

@Inquisitor Toth
This mod is literally two 1 kb files that
1. adds the button to the game UI (does not alter existing GUI, it is placed on top of everything)
2. defines the action of said button (does not have any requirements or shared resources)

And subscribing to mods should never remove ANY game files. That also does not make any sense and would not be required in any circumstance.

I would say it was probably a Steam bug, since you noticed the download got stuck too.

Also, subscribing is not enough, you need to create a modded game and activate the mod in the menu.

Try closing Steam and starting Steam with administrator privileges (with right click -> Run as admin...). Then try again with any mod. I believe this will likely solve your issue.

Checked integrity of the game - 1 file had to be re-installed.
So, hitting the subscribe button not only failed to install the mod, it also managed to remove/delete an essential file for the game to run - lol so sad :)
Anyway - my game is working again.

Tried to install this mod by clicking Subscribe - no button found ingame
Checked the mod file in the game directory under C/user/my documents .... nothing to be found there.
Cleared download cache - unsubscribed - subscribed again - mod stuck in download - game will not load passed intro screen - game broken now
I never used a mod for Civ 5 until this try out - shame it did not work, more shamefull it broke my game :)

Its k

i kind of agree with h.m.song, maybe some kind of advanced menu to choose a different civ's music, retaining the minimalist skip button setup. (im stuck always playing rome, cant stop.wont stop.Need new music.)

thank you for offer me great mod.
but when I click the music button, music is changed randomly based on my civilization. I am sick of it to listen the same music all the time.
I want to listen other civilization's music during play one civilization or I want to select music.
Would you please update this mod??

Hi qqqbbb,
I originally had plans for a drop-down menu, a space for more functionalities, but I could never get those functionalities to work properly, so I disabled it. Maybe there is still some XML for it left, though.

Is right clicking on the button supposed to bring down a menu? Now it just prints an error in live tuner.

simply a next button.
work goods.

Can someone give download the mod without steam?)

It helped alot for me when i was trying to make a music mod :)
Would be awesome if could play specific songs but sadly im crap at programming

I'm glad to hear people still find this mod useful :)
