Changing music...

[Garoad]

Is there any way to change the KSP music?

It's not that it's bad - and I don't really want to disable it (all) - the problem is that one of the tracks is identical to a track used in Dwarf Fortress (Soundsense utility), and I've heard it sooooo many times I can't take it anymore!!! Also it kind of reminds me of Dwarf Fortresses when I should be thinking Kerbal Science...

Stupid problem, I know...

So can it be changed at all? Didn't see any obvious files to mess with.

I would love to be able to put my own music in. I do like the current music, but it gets old after a while. I would also like to be able to add some music for stuff in the atmosphere. Something heavy sounding to indicate the pressure of the atmosphere. I just don't like the silence on Kerbin, and I don't have the CPU cycles to spare for a music player while I play KSP ;p

I was hoping to change the orbit music to the new star trek theme or star wars, sad i know, but it would be epic. Maybe halo instead of the wind sounds for reentry, should be easy if i could find the files in folder but i can't

I'd prefer to be able to add sounds to Dwarf Fortress--it's such a shame the game doesn't have any!

But uh, that aside, the music isn't easily moddable at the moment. The have been various suggestions for a more dynamic and customizable system.

Most of the music from the movie 'Sunshine' would be great for this game!

It would be nice to have an option to DISABLE music as well, rather then just turning it down to effectivley 0 volume... Unless turning the volume to 0 also disables the music, but there is no indication of this in the menu. I know many games can actually see a minor performance increase from disabling music. Just one less thing for the game to be processing. I know I know its not like this would allow you to KSP on an i486/am486 but every optimization adds up at the end of the day.

As far as customizing the soundtrack, I've had thoughts of a combination of Aes Dana music (very minimalistic, ambient, almost hypnotic) for the "space" music and out-right stealing the Sim City 4 OST for in-atmopshere music. Maybe some of the finer MIDI pieces from the Ultima series for in the VAB.

Muziker allows adding your own background music or ambient sounds. I think it's included in the latest pre-release of Chatterer too.

i used chatterer a while ago but wasnt aware it could play music to? this would be awesome. i have several OSTs here that would be perfect for the game (sunshine, solaris, mass effect.....)

It's not in the main release, just the most recent testing pre-release. The music player part was released on its own as Muziker before this though.

I believe that there is a mod called MusicMute that can solve your problem
