Mod Request - Separate Music Sliders for Map/Towns and Battles (or just silent Battles)

[ActualAngryScientist]

As many modders may know, the coding of scene transitions in Bannerlord is quite different from that of Warband. As such, there is no longer a separate music slider for the world map and for battles by default, as that would not be a priority for Taleworlds to code (and they want to show off their dynamic music parameters that they added). I am the type of player though who wants music out and about in the world for mood-setting, but having battle music utterly destroys my immersion - all I want is the sounds of hooves and boots and metal and screams to get my blood pumping.

 

I expect that separate sliders will not be possible until the game is out of early access and the mod tools are available, so frankly the only way at the moment may be a brute-force approach that literally replaces all the battle music files with a looping-silence. I took a peak at the music_parameters.xml file, so it may be possible to tweak those parameters to prevent the battle music from triggering, but I'm not sure.

 

If anyone thinks this might be in their wheelhouse as far as creating/replacing those music files in the proper format, or if you're familiar with tweaking those xml files, I think it could be a quite popular mod. Those separate sliders were put to use my a good many folks in Warband.

Yo, started playing again after waiting a year for bugfixes/features and was still frustrated by this.

 

Went about editing the files to remove the combat music manually. I am pleased.
