@mhariz1993 Make sure to add the song(s) to the playset you are currently using and to also enable them. I had the same issue when I was making the mod. I fixed it by unsubscribing, launching the launcher, waiting for it to finish loading, then going to "all installed mods", then in the top right there is a circular arrow to refresh the mod list, click that and also choose the option to clear the cache. After it refreshes, close the launcher, then re-subscribe. Launch the game launcher again and wait about a minute or so to make sure it validated/loaded the mods, then add them to your playset and enable them. I load my mods at the bottom of the load order, this song second. I'm subscribed to the workshop version of my mods and used this method to make sure they work together.

Oh, I got it, thank you so much for your help! And for making the same mod as me so I could see what I did wrong :P

I will update my mods soon.

Maybe my thumbnail was too big. Is there a resolution or size limit? Obviously I stayed under 1MB, but still...

Nah, updating the mod is fine to get the thumbnail fixed. I screwed mine up at my initial upload as well.

Yeah I read that on different forum posts, but I couldn't get it to work with regards to the thumbnail. When I renamed the files to something like 'notalone.asset', the mod broke and the songs no longer appeared in game, which also confused me. I'll give it another try the next free day I have. i'll check out how you made your mod and use it as a guide. I read that you have to delete your mod and re-upload it for the thumbnail to take, is that true?

If you want to make your mods compatible with eachother you basically just give your files their own names.

The songs.asset & songs.txt files can be named anything. For example, NotAlone.asset & NotAlone.txt

After that you put the line for the songs added by your mod only, so you'd want your txt to be something like:

song = {
name = "notalone"
}

and the .asset

music = {
name = "notalone"
file = "notalone.ogg"
volume = 0.8
}


After that they should be compatible with everything. If you also want the thumbnail to be working you add the line picture="thumbnail.png" to your .mod files, both the descriptor and the other one then slap a square picture by the same name in the main mod folder (same one where the music folder for example is)
