Music in bases.

[JustRyan]

May we please add zone music or something to bases? The sound effects are alright, but the silence elsewhere takes me out of the immersion a bit.

You can already do that (but it seems to not start right away and not persist through logging off, as far as I can tell, unless I just have my music channel turned down too low). /sg_music (filename) sets the music in your base.

 

The file names for in-game music are here (hover over the names in the "Neighborhoods" column, the url that shows up, everything between the last / and the .ogg is what you need, not including the / and .ogg themselves), and you can also put your own music (in .ogg format) into the data/sound/ogg folder and use that (no spaces in the filename, if a filename has spaces in it, rename it to either remove the spaces or replace them with underscores), but only you will hear it unless someone else had the same idea/you tell people what song you have playing.

 

If the filename ends in _loop, it will do just that, repeat when it ends; if it doesn't then it will play once and stop.

but only you will hear it

 

Which is a good thing. There's a ~100% chance one of your SG mates would think looping Megan Trainor would be funny cuz base/bass.

Also, you may want to check out the Base Builders Cheat Sheet in the Base forums.

 

Besides the explanation already provided for music, there are several helpful commands to make your building life... more interesting (cool stuff, Maynard).  ;)

it would be cool if music was selectable from the placeable jukebox (and the arcade games and pinball machines worked, but i digress)

Thank you everyone. This helped.

This.

 

I don't know if it's worth whatever amount of work might be required to make it a thing, especially under the current conditions, but being able to pick the music from a jukebox would be nice.

Just click the jukebox, pick the selection, and go about your business.

 

Personally I think that I am partial to Steel Canyon.

Been a long time since I heard some of the other zones so maybe I am forgetting something, but I have always liked Blyde Square, and Copper District has sort of grown on me since I started playing here.

This would be awesome and might even encourage me to turn my sound on/up. :p

I love me a good Lamb Chop music. ;)
