Thanks Bishop!!!

I'm ngl, I thought say whipvine was in the base game since I've been using this so long.

Great tracks! Any chance for a 1.6?

Ah geez. A new update, huh? I'll do the same thing I do every update. I'll say I won't update it, and then in about a week or so I'll cave and re-download RimWorld just to make you guys happy.

1.6?

@Justin Bieber when RimWorld launches, this mod adds 10-20 seconds to start up. Once RimWorld is loaded, this mod has no impact on performance assuming you have enough RAM on your machine.

How does this impact game performance?

I have never had a problem with the Linux version of RimWorld. In fact, I have tried out of curiosity, and the Windows version uses a bit more RAM and starts a bit slower. And I don't remember if I have ever had problems with any other game either. Might be a problem with your setup.

But, interestingly, the audio loading problem really does not exist with the Windows version, for whatever strange reason. May be the sole reason why your Linux version uses more RAM.

When I run this mod as Windows version through proton compatibility it uses way less RAM than Linux native version. Also, I just find, in general Linux native RimWorld doesn't run as well as proton. I also remember having some crashing errors with other mods due to Linux native, but I don't remember which ones.
As a Linux gamer, I almost never run games as native Linux. Everything is wine or proton.

Correction: I estimate the memory usage should be about 4GiB, not tens. So maybe the difference is just whether people do or do not have that extra memory? Swap on Unix systems usually has a fixed size, that could explain why people are more like to have a problem on Linux.

Note that RimWorld's audio loading from mods is very inefficient. A mod providing this amount of music presumably leads to allocating additional tens of gigabytes of memory and also increases load time significantly. See https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3385243195 (a mod fixing this).

@Bishop: You probably want to mention that in the mod description.

Also, I'm on Linux. I see in the comments mentions that the memory usage problem might not exist on Windows, although I don't see why it should work differently there (maybe WIndows hides the problem by increasing the pagefile size to accomodate all this?). On Linux I can clearly see memory usage go up from 1.5GiB to 3.5GiB when using P-Music (and I do not dare with this mod). Even if Windows handles it somehow, there still might be the usage with load times (my mod description includes a link to how to find out).

Glad you enjoy!

wow, must takes weeks to colect all the good songs, take my points ;)

Okay I don't get it anymore, It likely was me putting the mod in with wrong load order.

Windows, I had a mod called "No vannila music" so it would only play these songs I believe, I switched to beholder music with that mod and it works fine. If I don't forget I'll try again today and post error (my hugslib log might be massive and hard to understand where this mod gives errors as not all the mods I have are 100% working)

Are you playing on Windows? Also, is this the only music mod you have running? This is a very basic mod. It doesn't change any of the game's behaviour, it only adds new SongDefs to the existing library. In the 5 years since I published this mod, I haven't heard of this issue before. This mod only works if downloaded from the steam workshop.
If you downloaded the github version from the license page, it will not work (no music files are in the repository, only XML)

I am encountering an issue where it fails to play the music (Error message) and startup log is full of Warnings.

idk why but after i enable this mod, the game just crash on loading
it'sjust a music mod. what can it break?!?

@Generator's Queen, same, this mod consumes all available RAM (on Ubuntu 22.04 & 20.04).

LOL, this simple music mod takes up 7GB RAM on MacOS (m-series). Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm afraid I'll have to listen to the standard RimWorld soundtrack for the rest of my life :(

Thanks for the update!

thank you sir

Thank you for the update! Absolutely love this mod

The mod has been updated to 1.5. May your RimWorlding experience be 1.5% more enjoyable. See you butts in a year.

@C3ncio, thank you!. It is that simple. Although I think more people would enjoy this music if the change was made by OP

The mod should work anyway but if your rimworld refuse to load this awesome music for some reason, all you have to do is:
-Go to main menu->mods
-select this mod and than click the advanced button on the right
-select open folder
-open "About" folder
-right click the file "About.xml" and select "open with notepad"
-under the line "<supportedVersions>" simply add " <li>1.5</li>". Spaces are needed.
-Rimworld will now 100% load the best music mod in the workshop, have fun!

Hi everyone. Unless Tynan dramatically changes how RimWorld is built, this mod will work forever. This mod simply adds music to the in-game library of songs. I know the warning that you have an out of date mod can be annoying, but I promise it will work.
Unfortunately, the process of updating the mod is pretty heavy considering I don't keep rimworld installed anymore. I'm glad so many people enjoy this mod, but I don't have time to maintain it anymore. Please keep using it and having fun!

@Strain , I 100 percent believe this will work no mater what version its on.

pls 1.5

I used this with SOS2 and now I cannot get the thought of a ship v ship battle when using this

Lots of guitar screeching on Dreaming Days and some screeching on a few other tracks. Will have to unsubscribe.

@HKO2006 you can use the music manager mod to see and listen to all the music installed in your rimworld game

raid shal use more musics and a hevy metal version

Is there a full list so I can search for them?

Dude that selection fits so well, it could be straight out of vanilla

Thank you for this!

@SHRoronoaZoro it doesn't replace any music

Does this mod replace other music, or is it essentially shuffled in with the rest?

Absolutely amazing. So good and fits so well you forget it's not part of vanilla. All the music is good with some being absolute bangers and some hauntingly beautiful.

yep

Does this work with other music mods like P-Music?

just a very nice mod

Just released a track I've been looking for was from this rather than the base game and that alone should tell you how seamlessly it's integrated and how good the tracks are

thx very beautiful

nice

Thanks @Thetaprime, now my RimPy has far less warnings!

Oh and remove '_copy' from the line:

<packageId>bishop.music_copy</packageId>

Save.

I suggest using RimPy for your modlist people. In Rimpy, select the mod>open folder>find the about.xml, add <li>1.4</li> inline with the other versions, save the file and voila! updated.

I love this music mod but I also hate seeing warning box in my mod list... damn it my dude

can you fix the _copy for it? its annoying -___-
