Location dependant music

[burb]

Hello, can anyone tell me how or point me in the right direction regarding how to,, have a particular single song play in a particular single location. FYI, i'm going to try and make a mod based on the series LEXX, upon the ship itself.

Cheers, and May His shadow fall mercifully upon you.

Aside from the obvious copyright issues...

 

What you want really can't be done without replacing all the songs in public or dungeon to that song set. Unfortunately, Streammusic function is practically useless since it reverts back to default any time you change areas, enter combat, and will only play once. Meaning that the only places that you can use it are large, open areas without any fighting, where you won't need to use any load doors unless you want the music to change. And even then, you need some complicated scripting to make it loop without too much of a gap should the player at any time open a menu. If the whole ship were a single interior, and you wanted the music to go to normal upon leaving, then it might be practical... But that is likely the least of your issues.

Huh?

 

This most certainly can be done, for an example visit the Imperial Furniture Store Mod.

 

It's done via attaching a script to an activator.

 

PM me for more specific details.

 

I suspect you really don't care if the other music plays once you leave the ship. And agreed, the music can not have copyright issues. There's lots of music available that's copyrighted for sharing like this though, I've posted the link in the past, and I can point you in the right direction should you actually follow through with a PM.

vagrat0 and myrmaad, thank you both for your help. I expected it would be pretty tough as you don't see it happen often. I thought itmight have been possible as i've seen it done in the incredible Duke City mod, but scripting is still a very scary word.

Luckily, being the Lexx geek i am, i kow the track i intend to use isn't bound by the usual copywrights of most of the series' tunes.

Wish me luck!

Yes, which means that it only plays within the space that has that activator, and restarts if you enter any other space with that activator... Which is what I said, "Meaning that the only places that you can use it are large, open areas without any fighting, where you won't need to use any load doors unless you want the music to change". Ok, maybe not the "large" part, but certainly an area where the player will likely spend more than a few minutes, There still isn't any loop ability without scripting it in based on the duration of the song, and there still isn't any way to prevent the music from changing when moving from one area to another.

 

Technically, this could be attached to a quest script too, but still, the song ends when you change areas (even if music type is the same), and requires scripting to make it loop.
