Description

Custom Music Changer looks up values from the ambientmusic.2da and compiles a list of music that can be choosen using the conversation choices brought up by the music changer item (included). No need to do your own items/scripts for different music HAKs! Test it out. To specify for YOUR needs, look into 'toj_cm_ol' (OnLoad code). Also be sure to hook it up with the OnLoad code and be sure to have Tag-Based Scripts enabled for executing the right code when activating the item. Alternativly, you can call 'toj_cm' script when you use the item 'toj_cm' and set the appropriate flags. (Don't ask!) Or better, you can copy the short OnActivate code there. (Basicly a call to 'toj_cm_tok' to create tokens and a call to start up the conversation 'toj_cm'.) Questions? [email protected] - TOJ

I am totally with Ne0nx3r0 on this one. Very good job TOJ. Hope you are successful in anything else you decide to make.

"It sounds nice but it would ruin the atmosphere in some servers...or in most."

You're serious, right? That's like saying having DMs can ruin the atmosphere of any server because they can spawn in dragons on cue.

I think it's implied that you should use appropriate music.. Almost every server i've ran, been involved in, or played in could have used this script for quests.. It's awesome, since most pre-canned music convo's wont include custom content.. and it's exactly what I need for the Dot Hack server im currently working on.

GJ TOJ, I like it a lot. don't let these jackasses get you down.

Just a small note; this thing works with no changes to include the new 3 songs from the Premium Modules included in update 1.66

Thanks TOJ, this is just what I was looking for.

Kinda important!

Be sure to put your music 2da at the safe line described by Bioware when adding custom music. I used that value. BUT you can of course change this value. Just look in the OnLoad code "toj_cm_ol"

If there's need for other version variants, I can compile the scripts for NWN vanilla perhaps.

It sounds nice but it would ruin the atmosphere in some servers...or in most.

This sounds incredibly nice but..

How does it work with multiplayer? Does each player have their own music or is it a server-wide thing?
