much love to Dendroid101! selfhelp comes first!

Hello gamers. I'm a relative of "Dendroid101" (the composer). While there is only a small chance he'd get back to this anytime soon, I just want to thank everyone for the positivity. Even knowing people care about the music is a sorta solace for him. Please spread the love and take care of each other, thank you guys.

Thank you for including the updated links, the older ones still show up when you're looking for new mods and a lot are borkity borked these days after 1.5

1.5 update: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3265314046

I would love someone to pick this up, easily my fav music mod back when it was workin.

This apparently works on 1.5, you just need to use the continued framework mod with it here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3263001145

1.5 tag possibly?

@mlie pls update

looks like this mod is dead, one says he has no plans because he has no time, the other mods don't then bother with an answer.

but it's open source, so someone could fork it and do another version

1.5please

I hope it keeps getting worked on!

People saying this probably wont get updated on the discord. Oh well o7

i have no music :(

i just noticed that a steampunk soundtrack is in the works and that makes me super excited

1.5?

Any chance the github version could be pushed to steam? I heard the version there allows for selecting multiple themes. Though I imagine this'll have to get redone a bit for 1.5 since it sounds like it's guna be messing with the music backend

This mod is heckin amazing, awesome work! I dont suppose in the future we could get it to load up other music mods after it and have those tracks be mixed into whatever era of music we have selected from this mod? Like i would love to toss in the Morrowrim soundtrack into your medieval fantasy playlist

Is there a way to disable specific songs in a playlist? I want to use the vanilla playlist, but I'm noticing a very not vanilla song in it which I really don't like, and would like to disable.

@Sprocket
Assuming the RAM useage is caused by the size of the music files, you could try searching for a program to compress music down further. It's possible, but it would be lossy compression; meaning, quality would be lost.
Not sure what program it would be, but I'm sure one exists.

Sub-Mods loaded with this framework causes RAM usage to just absolutely balloon, making it difficult to use these mods on systems with 8GB RAM or less. Is there any way to reduce the memory load of the music?

in mod options this mod doesnt appear. any help?

Same as M. Feels funny that there's an epic music playing when a local animal becomes a manhunter lol.

Nice to see new music for Rimworld thank however the minor threats causing INSTANT abrupt change in music track does not feel like this game at all. A setting to change that would be great like for the silence between music tracks. This music is far too loud compared to vanilla and the vocals tracks especially not feeling like this game at all. And too loud lol. The glitterworld tracks notable exception there and well done, would be nice to have convenient playlist to play instead of the mod or some way to BUILD your own playlist in-game so you can pick which songs that would be neat. Or a youtube video with all the tracks would be perfect. Cheers.

The glitterworld tracks are just absolute perfection. I'm even playing a neolithic game and it's still just feels right. So so good.

*dances along to medieval drums*

Can we get the updates here too after it's done on Github? I preferably like better the workshop version and if I'm correct then steam controller only allows workshop mods (but I'm not sure)
Thanks.

Hey ya'll, sorry we're have a hard time getting a new programmer helping out with Music Expanded. The current FIX: Just unsub from the mod and make sure you reset Rimworld so it downloads the original version again. I just took it off my mod list, re-subbed and then start Rimworld again and everything is working including Wasteland.

Sorry for the trouble, but good news, WASTELAND is out on Spotify and all services so you don't need the mod if you wanna give it a go. Just search Justin Marshall Elias on your streaming services.

Thanks everyone

It's due to the framework update. Get the github version of framework for now.

Something with this mod is dropping mass red errors suddenly

It stopped working ;/

It stopped working ;/

@OnestartOutOfFive Yeah it seems like I didn't fully release multiple track selections, I'mma look into it right now cause I did all the work already and it's on github, guess it just never reached steam for some reason. checkin it out cause I'm dumb

Tried reading through comments about playing multiple themes but I dont see any buttons or anything in the mod settings to select multiple themes. Tried shift clicking, ctrl shift clicking. There's no buttons or anything for selection just the individual themes. I'll pick this up when I can have all the music together.

The Glitterworld Large Battle is called Large battle haha, it's all on bandcamp! Head over to the discord if you have more question. Wasteland is out! Please show some love on the Wasteland theme if you have some time.

@kyria lol, sorry I am stressin you out with the music. Thank you for the kind words, I'm not sure the majority of listeners would want that track changed, but perhaps we can ask my programmers on discord.

what's the song that plays during the glitterworld large battle?

@renegade my game only lets me play one theme at a time from what I can tell. It also bugs out and plays nothing if I try to play vanilla.

@MagnusGames just read some of their comments from this mod or the main one, other music mods should automatically be added to the vanilla section of it and you can have every category selected and it cycles through them, it doesn't play just one category like Medieval. If you choose neolithic and medieval it'll play from both...

Is there a way to just have all songs in a pool that can play like with other music mods? I like the music, but I don't really want to limit myself to just having one theme at a time, and it is nice to hear from other music packs not integrated into this system.

Really awesome music - thanks!
I love the variety and how it still stays rimworldish! =D

However also a bit of feedback: I nearly got a heartattack on my last raid as the battle music started with such a bang it nearly threw me off my chair ^^ (the neolithic - medium battle one)

I understand that this is how this song should be - but would an option be possible for the faint-hearted as me to kind of ease in at the beginning when they start such a jump-scaring way?
(my playstyle is more of relaxing kind and that really threw me off guard xD)

Really good choice of tracks although there are major problems with the theme select Mod menu in game, once you select a theme it locks you into that specific theme and you are unable to play any other music. You also cant undo your music selection even when you exit and restart the game completely.

@A Startled Froggo assuming you're on the latest you should simply be able to click multiple themes

@Demonlord seems like something went wrong with the vanilla music, weird... are you using the github version of MEF as well? Should be the latest. I may have time to look into this later but I can promise nothing

I may be blind but I can't figure out how to multi-select themes, I would like to listen to all of the tracks on shuffle for example

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2975105362 <--- Yellow Error Spam

https://gist.github.com/HugsLibRecordKeeper/2275acc21cb231afad1d65049fd9f9d9 <--- Hugslib_Log

I think this is the first time I've ever had a Yellow Error log spam. Apparently it was failing to both play the vanilla music through the Github version of this mod and to reset said music after failing. Strange stuff.

I believe the latest allows you to multi-select themes, though.

@kingsman_ nope, just vanilla and anything not added through a ME theme

If I select the default vanilla music, do the other 3 music come out?

@Paradox not really but it'd be great if someone set that up

@Guccio Assuming it can read the vanilla before/after stuff it should be fine I guess

@Darath I personally haven't had the chance to super look into that, but strange. Might be a theme specific thing or related to the sound replacement stuff. I know for certain it tries to play a track as soon as the game starts, and there is some stuff to handle errors there, but this might be an uncaught one

@Jasil "Egg" Azul It's currently based on points. It's definitely possible to get real granular on which events with which factions trigger certain music, it'd require more tracks to really cover it all, this felt like the best middle ground.

Might be worth setting a lower limit for what triggers battle tracks though. These kinda gameplay things are difficult to balance right

@speedY It's compatible but it'd throw it into the vanilla options. Some thought has been made to make custom themes work outside of our system but no work has been done towards that.

Just a suggestion, make the combat music based off of the raid or attack itself instead of your wealth. I love the mod don't get me wrong the music is great. However I wanna reserve the drums and heroic music for when the mechanoids attack instead of when a turkey goes mad and then steps on a spike trap instantly.

I use P-Music, is this mod compatible with it or should I just use one of it?
