Allow players to set their own music for different planets/moons

[Francois424]

Hey all, just a nice Idea I had.

Just make a line in the .cfg that allows users (any of us, or even the devs at later date) to set a file to play upon entering a planet's atmosphere.

Something amongst the line of copying songs into a "/ksp/music" folder, and support say ogg and mp3 formats.
in the CGF file, you will have "MusicPlayed=[true/false]" and then the name, say for Duna: "GustavHolstMars.mp3" and a third one for "Repeat=[True/False], X" where X is the delay in seconds before restarting the song.
You could improve on the idea with 'InOrbit' or even 'InSphereInfluence' to make this game a real jukebox.   If nothing is stated, the game goes default as it is now

A simple line for each moon/planet would be perfect.   Sample of my Idea:

 

Quote

// Planets/Moon music by area
// If nothingis specified, value assumed to be MusicPlayed=False, but some still written as an example.
// If planet/Moon has no atmosphere, it plays the Sphere of Influence Music.
// If planet/Moon has 'LandedOn" music set to 'Default' you can have sphere of influence music with default KSP songs/repeat delays instead.

KerbinInsideAtmoshphere  MusicPlayed=False
KerbinInOrbit   MusicPlayed=True     Default
KerbinInSphereInfluence  MusicPlayed=True     Default
    MunInSphereInfluence MusicPlayed=True "Apollo14theme.mp3" Repeat=False
    MinmusSphereInfluence MusicPlayed=True "EveOnlineAmbient23.mp3" Repeat=True,600

DunaInsideAtmosphere  MusicPlayed=True "GustavHolstMars.mp3" Repeat=True,5
    IkeSphereInfluence  MusicPlayed=True "GustavHolstMars.mp3" Repeat=True,5
    IkeLandedOn   MusicPlayed=True Default

Agree!!! I have posted this a few times. Your idea is a lot like mine, but better. Seems like this should be such an easy addition for Squad but I've never hear them mention anything regarding the soundtrack. Here is my post:

Very good idea. This could perhaps be possible with soundtrack editor?
