[MOD] Metal_BigBeat_sfx -Allows full customization of ALL bar/vip/jukebox music-

Post by Hardcard »

Welcome to my first mod for X:Rebirth.

http://static-4.nexusmods.com/15/mods/1 ... 875243.jpg

This mod allows the player to customize the music of ALL bars, vip rooms and jukeboxes in the game. This means the player can change the music of ALL bars, vip rooms and jukeboxes in ALL the systems and sectors (Albion, Omicron Lyrae, DeVries and Maelstorm).
In order to achieve this, I've created a special xml file which tells X:Rebirth to play 4 different music files created by the player in the different bars, vip rooms and jukeboxes that are found in the game.
I've included my personal choice of loops, which are based on fragments of songs by Opeth, Fear Factory and The Prodigy. Of course, you can replace those with whatever music you like, read the instructions contained in the readme file, everything is explained there.
I haven't tried to install this mod directly via NMM, but I think it'll work...let me know if it doesn't.

COMPATIBILITY:
Obviously, this mod isn't compatible with other sound mods that change bar, vip room and jukebox music, but should be compatible with all the rest.
I've tested this mod with X:Rebirth 2.0 and it works fine.

Note: If you are forced to disable other sound mods in order to use this one and, as a consequence, your savegames become incompatible, DON'T PANIC!!! This mod is innocent!!!! lol. Everything is fine, you just need to delete the references from the sound mod(s) you just disabled before using my mod with your savegames. How can you do this? Very easy, just download the "XRSGE" if you haven't done it already (I've linked it as a required file, but it isn't unless you find this problem), and load your chosen savegame with it, then go to the "Mods" tab and you'll see the mod(s) you just disabled in the list. After that, just select the disabled mod(s) in the list and hit the "Remove Mod" button to the right, then save the changes (File>Save) and you'll be set.
You won't need to do all this when you disable Metal_BigBeat_Bar_sfx because it's well designed, LOL.

Here is the link to the Egosoft forum post where you can download XRSGE:

The only important difference between my mod and other X:Rebirth sound mods is the included xml file, which allows the player to customize bar,vip room and jukebox music for ALL the sectors in the game...well, it also eliminates those annoying cacophonies in bars, and doesn't render savegames incompatible after being disabled, lol.

I hope you like it!

Here's the link to the mod at Steam workshop:

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE:
Unfortunately the Steam workshop design for XRebirth mods makes them hard to edit once installed.
Mod content is compressed into a ".cat" file, which is an obstacle for customization. If you want to use my mod for free customization of all bar/vip/jukebox music, don't use this version, use the nexus version instead.
The Steam version will only work as is (playing Opeth, Fear Factory and The Prodigy in bars/vip rooms/jukeboxes)
