Is there a way to find each music file individually because im trying to find a specific soundtrack?

I keep getting errors when I try to use this mod.
Is this mod up to date?

Is there a way to ADD these tracks to the stock ones, and not replace them?

np

Thank you

@Reaper
At the main menu:
Options > Audio > untick "Use Contextual Music" checkbox.

How do I disable the "Use Contextual Music" bit?

@PaulH
Thanks a lot! I'm glad it still works - it's a rather old mod, lol!

Really great mod, love the tracks. seem to play at the right time the mood changed :)

Alright, Awesome! thanks!

Last time I checked (about 2 or 3 days ago), yes. However, some of the code on Keen's side has changed. One day, I'll update the mod to use all the track slots...

Does this by any chance still work?

@19te Bansky
Thanks for pointing that out! I'll update my descriptions.

Attention! For this mod to work you need to disable "use contextual music" in the audio tab.

@Socksforhire
Interesting...One of my other music mods stopped working after an update so I assumed this one did too. Well, I'm glad it works for you. Check out my others if you like this one.

@TheDuke540, Nah man it works fine. I had my music muted like an idiot. Good selection lol

@Socksforhire
I'm afraid it's been quite some time since I maintained this mod. One of the previous updates broke this mod. I apologize for the inconvenience and I will mark this mod as broken.

I don't think the mod is working for me. Do I have to do something aside from just subscribing?

Amazing soundtrack!

@TheDuke540 I'll shoot ya a friend request, May not be able to sit down a learn the complicated parts to this right away due to other obligations, However i will let you know when i have the time.

@Maybach 660HL
Ahh. I see. Without that XML file, your mod, or any mod for that matter, will not work. You technically don't need to make the xml file. What I did starting out was I recycled Keen's xml file. The only difference is that in your mod, the audio.sbc file should have your custom directories. For example, if you add "Mus_sadness_2_a_MM.xwm" as a new track, you must alter the directory with "Audio\MUS\MusSadnessOrDesperation\MusSadnessOrDesperation_MM01\Mus_sadness_2_a_MM.xwm". It seems difficult, but it's not. It's just hard for me to put into words when I could show you much easier. I hope this helps. If not, just add me as a friend and we can discuss this in real-time.

@TheDuke540
Thanks for responding, Ya the problem i have is I see the mod in the listing but when i add it to my private game mod list it doesnt work, I know i have the format down, got a converter program for changing the file types etc, and i have them all in the correct folders as in.

"Mod Name"
/Data
/Audio

Those two folders Data and Audio are inside the mod folder, I've got all the Folders for the in game music in there labeled off as they are in the MUS folder in the Space Engineers main directory. I noticed in your mod the "Data" folder has a XML file in it that has when the music should play and what music will play, However idont know how to make a XML file like that.

So i need some assistance.

@Maybach 660HL
If you want to test your mod before publishing it (which is always a good idea), just put the mod folder in your "C:\Users\ username \AppData\Roaming\SpaceEngineers\Mods\" folder. Then, just go to edit settings for the world you want to test it in and add it.
If it still doesn't work then, you have a deeper issue. I had a few issues when I started out simply because the music wasn't formatted properly. You can always check in game by pressing F11 (I think). If there are any warnings or conflicts they'll show there.
If you still have trouble, let me know. I wrote a front-end specifically for adding in game music, so if need be I can point you in the right direction.

@TheDuke540
When you were orginally creating this mod, how did you get the mod to show up in the mod listing and im referring to when it was still on your computer before you published it, like how did you test to make sure it worked? I've gotten as far getting my mod to show in the mod listing as a folder however it doesnt replace the ingame music like i want to do. Any idea's?

@Reno
I wish I knew how! I had that idea as I was making this. I'm sure there's a way, but I don't know how...

would be great if we could have a hud notification that lets us know what song is playing, that would be great for later reference :P

I've been searching for around 30 minutes now, but a song came on whilst I was playing and had a mean guitar solo or something, I've heard it in the outro of a space video as well before, I was wondering what it was? Anyone know?

@Huntermist
Space music on acoustic guitar. Challenge accepted.

good ole Kevin Macleod. He has some really good songs for it considering all his tracks are ambient.

@Huntermist
Starcraft II terran theme has a sort of rock/metal feel to it.

can some plz make a some sort of space country guitar music?

Don't google the songs you will get creepy faces from one or two of them. Trust me.

Hmmmmm there is one track I'm looking for in here that i cant seem too locate in the track listing. Its got some epic guitar throughout. Any idea which one that might be?

@TheDuke540
ok. thx.

@Delta 0DST
It requires some XML know-how and a program to convert mp3 or wav to the .xwm format. All in all it took me about three hours to put this together. That doesn't include trying to find songs that aren't copyrighted. The tutorials here will steer you in the right direction although they are for the soundblock. The concept remains the same though.

I'm just wondering, how did you change/mod in the music?
I went around YouTube, couldn't find anything but tuts for playing music out the soundblock.

@cocobean454
It doesn't count as a skybox. It only replaces the stock music. It works with every skybox mod that I've made (which is about 4 or 5 now), plus others I've subscribed to.

I have made a few darkish skyboxes if you'd like to check those out:
The heavens skybox - https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=422453488
Death of a Planet - https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=421998327
Golden Galaxy - https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=432128670

Does this mod count as a "skybox" or will it still work in addition to a visual skybox mod installed at the same time? Thanks.

The concept looks neat. I've always been one for playing the dark skyboxes. now this sound track will go with it perfectly.

But you already have skyboxes in your stuff! I too very much have interest in these pics.

I love those pictures I hope you make them into skyboxes they are beautiful.

@CYRO
I haven't attempted any skyboxes yet but that shouldn't be too difficult for me. I'll seriously consider that.

@Mason
I've got a plans to make a new one but my job and school are getting in the way LOL. I'm pretty wary of adding music that is copyrighted because I don't need that trouble. My next one should be finished soon.

Would love to have those images available as skyboxes, is that possible?

make another mod pack then. id like to hear other games music. from original fallout or crysis maybe the last of us. or half-life 2. stuff like that. then when you can make a "the best off" pack which people like which track the most (because of the limitations)

Ah I see. well thank you for the reply and I understand. :)

@Orro
Thanks!! As much as I'd love to add more music, I'm limited to about 68 tracks since that's the default amount in the game. If KSH adds soundtrack API support, I would definitely do it. Plus, I'm VERY picky about what I choose for music and I'm limited due to the small amount of royalty free music available. I may try a different approach in the future though. I'm glad you love it!

BEST MOD EVER!!!!! TRY ADDING MORE MUSIC THOUGH :D BUT BEST MOD EVER!!!

@echance01
Thank you! I'm happy you like it!

I love this pack. Ocasonally I get this song that makes me feel like the Alien is right behind me! you have really out done yourself!

@Riptide
Thanks! Glad you like it!
