Storm_UK submitted a new mod:

Multi-track Jukebox - A jukebox that can play multiple song tracks.

Read more about this mod...

 

Storm_UK updated Multi-track Jukebox with a new update entry:

Tiny recipe fix

Read the rest of this update entry...

 

Does this let you choose the tracks you want to play?

 

Not directly as such yet - you can turn on/off quickly to advance the track number though, as they play in track order (or random via shuffle.) I hope to add a proper UI later when time permits to select tracks.

 

That's nice, I shall wait patiently until then.

 

If I were to add songs, where would a good place be to put them in my Starbound folder?

 

I'd suggest once this mod has been placed in mods folder, create a music folder inside the stormsjukebox folder (at same level as the recipes folder inside.) So Starbound/mods/stormsjukebox/music. Then in the objects file,

"track#" : { "pool" : ["/music/filename.ogg"], "rangeMultiplier" : 1 },

as appropriate as explained in the readme.txt. I think Starbound will also accept mp3 as well as ogg. I'll add a music folder myself to this mod for ease in when I next update it.

 

Open Your Starbound\mods\stormsjukebox folder,
Create a new folder called sfx
Inside that folder is where you will add your music.
and keep in mind that all this is case-sensitive.

Examples:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Starbound\mods\stormsjukebox\sfx\

You will also need to add that path to your storms_jukebox.object file.
Should look like this:
"track1" : { "pool" : ["/sfx/YourSong1.ogg"], "rangeMultiplier" : 1 },
"track2" : { "pool" : ["/sfx/YourSong2.ogg"], "rangeMultiplier" : 1 },

Also there is Track Information that will have to be set:
lets break it down,
//* track 2 */ [ 120, "Artist", "Title" ],

//* track 2 */ = the track number, be sure to remove the 1 of the 2 forward slash // at the beginning of each track you use.

The numbers 120 represents the Track duration in seconds, this will need to be set to the music track you use.

"Artist" and "Title" can be set to what ever you like, This shows up as a message over head of the jukebox.

How it should look Once completed:

/* track 1 */ [ 343, "Your"," Song 1" ],
/* track 2 */ [ 373, "Your"," Song 2" ],


You may also add colours to the text "Your"," Song 1"

^orange; This text is Orange
^cyan; This text is Cyan

colours:
red
orange
yellow
green
blue
indigo
violet
black
white
magenta
darkmagenta
cyan
darkcyan
cornflowerblue
gray
lightgray
darkgray
darkgreen
pink
clear (fully transparent)

Example:
/* track 2 */ [ 373, "^orange;Your","^cyan;Song 1" ]

 

I have a issue with this mod.
I did everything wich is said by Teni_weni, in order to add tracks.
But when I want to craft the jukebox, the game crashs.
So please, explain me the nature of my issue, I will extremely greatful to this !
Also, the path used by the first track does'nt exist, even if it is played perfectly when used in the game.

 

Could you link a pastebin of your editted stormsjukebox.object please?

The first track is meant as an example/placeholder, but the path does exist just contained within the games packed assets.

 

How bout something that can play abc's? Preferrably more at once, synced? I have many tracks and no friends to play them with.

 

Ok here is the line that I have modified:

"track1" : { "pool" : ["/music/title-theme-concept-old.ogg"], "rangeMultiplier" : 1 },
"track2" : { "pool" : ["/sfx/Fight!Alkaiser!.ogg"], "rangeMultiplier" : 1 },

/* track 1 */ [ 124, "^orange;° Chucklefish","^cyan;Original Starbound Concept Theme" ]
/* track 2 */ [ 544, "Artist", "Title" ],

On this point,the jukebox dispear of my world and inventory, and the game crash when I want see the craft by clicking on gear icon of Wiring Station.
I had checked everything about the path of the tracks but even by using search bar, I could'nt find the "title-theme-concept-old.ogg". Do you have any idea about it ?

Also, I replaced the first track with his path, by second one:

"track1" : { "pool" : ["/Music/Fight!Alkaiser!.ogg"], "rangeMultiplier" : 1 },
"track2" : { "pool" : ["/sfx/Folder/Folder/TrackName.ogg"], "rangeMultiplier" : 1 },

/* track 1 */ [ 344, "^orange;° Chucklefish","^cyan;Original Starbound Concept Theme" ]
//* track 2 */ [ 120, "Artist", "Title" ],

The game does'nt crash when I want the craft and the first music plays perfecly.

BUT !

When I add a new track:

"track1" : { "pool" : ["/Music/Fight!Alkaiser!.ogg"], "rangeMultiplier" : 1 },
"track2" : { "pool" : ["/Music/la-marmelade-de-ma-grand-mere-getmob.ogg"], "rangeMultiplier" : 1 },

/* track 1 */ [ 344, "^orange;° Chucklefish","^cyan;Original Starbound Concept Theme" ]
/* track 2 */ [ 216, "^green;°Artist", "^green;Title" ],

The game crash as said in my first issue.

 

Ah, you need to set the commas correctly as well under track info. For example, if your jukebox uses just two tracks:

Code:

/* track 1 */ [ 344, "Artist", "Title" ],
/* track 2 */ [ 216, "Artist", "Title" ]
//* track 3 */ [ 120, "Artist", "Title" ],

The last listed used track line in the tracks info section should have no comma whilst all the above lines in that section should end in a comma.

I'm not positive on how the abc files are played by starbound but I think they are done engine side using instrument active items, which probably would make such difficult to add. I'll try and find out some more.

 

YES ! Finaly it works !
Thank you for the info.

 

I installed the mod, but i couldn't find it in the wiring station and when i went to the mod list on the starbound menu page it shows up with yellow letters , all the other mods im using have white letters... maybe im missing something ?

 

I need help. The mod works without custom musics but when I try to add one and try to craft the jukebox the game crashes...
I created two sfx folders: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Starbound\mods\stormsjukebox\sfx\cat.ogg and C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Starbound\assets\sfx\cat.ogg
Here's my storms_jukebox.object

Whoops... I forgot to remove the , at the end and add to the first one... hehe... Now it's working fine

 

Question, is it possible to have more than one jukebox object? For example, can I have one jukebox set to play one whole CD, and a separate one for a different CD?

 

You can, you simply need to duplicate the .object and .recipe files and provide a different object name in each of the files inplace of "storms_jukebox", then set the tracks of that new object.

 

Cool, thanks. Now to figure out what tunes to add
