OblivionStory0.0.2.zip 1-click install


My very first mod, adds soundtrack from Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

Should work on all recent versions, although i have only tested it on 1.19.7.
Comment if there is any issues and i will try to fix them if i can!


Some vanilla music may still play
! Regardless, i hope you enjoy :)


Inspired by
The Vintage Scrolls: Music
and Metin2 BGM

Also check out Dwarf Fortress Soundtrack and Oblivion/Dwarf Fortress PATCH for even more music !

poopies I made all my Dwarf Fortress mods originally using CherryRook  mod as a base template.  https://wiki.vintagestory.at/index.php/Modding:Getting_Started

heres the wiki to get started modding i really reccomend putting the work in and reading but if you wanna learn the wiki will show you everything.  Also if you get stuck i swear ChatGBT saved my ass so many times LOL

Glad you enjoy the mod and thank you for downloading ! :)

I commented on this a bit further down if you scroll through but it is relatively simple to add or replace surface tracks, as of now theres no way to add underground tracks without it being extremely scuffed unfortunately.

As per that comment you're free to use my mod as a base !



If you need more help though let me know! :)

💬 poopies, 3 days ago

hey, oblivion is my childhood and your mod rocks!!!

 

i was thinking of making a music mod of my own. do you have any tips about working on a music mod? im unsure of where to start, is there any documentation that you referenced when making your mod?

 

Thanks for the wonderful mod!

💬 Afroman726, 3 days ago

Great, i implimented the changes and put the new version up ! :) Also thank you for the tip with the game version 😄

💬 Afroman726, 4 days ago

CherryRook  This is what your mod.json should look like if you update it 😄

 

 

 

{
"type": "theme",
"modid": "obs",
"name": "OblivionStory",
"authors": [ "CherryRook" ],
"description": "Adds soundtrack from Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion",
"side": "client",
"version": "0.0.2",
"dependency": {
"game": ""
}
}

Hi I drafted a patch that would allow both of our mods to work but your mod has a bug!  Inside modinfo.json you put your modid as "OBS".  Its not supposed to be capatalilzed.  The game freaks out and cant call on the mod id.  I went inside your file and  changed the capatalization from OBS to "obs" (lowercased) and my patch works!  All you gotta do is change that and update your mod and we're golden!

 

Also inside modinfo.json  under dependency, you put "game":"1.19.x"   If you change it to 

"game": " "       then you'll future proof your mod for whenever the devs get to version 1.2 or whatever.

Heres my patch that im waiting to publish as soon as you can update your mod id  mods.vintagestory.at/obsp

 

As soon as your mod gets updated my patch will go live!  Much appreciated!! :)

@Afroman726

Hi, i saw today ! Always great to see more music variety ! I am interested in adding compatabilitys although i am not sure how to do this (i'm a potato when it comes to modding), though if you have any ideas or inputs i'll gladly implement them.

I am also still looking for a way to add new underground tracks as well, i'v been absent for a while so i haven't made any progress on that at all, if you've found a way to do so i'd love to implement that as well on here or try to find a solution together :))

💬 Afroman726, 6 days ago

Hi CherryRook!  I loved your mod so much I made my own!  I was wondering if you would be interested in helping me make a compatabilty patch so both our soundtracks could play together? :)   My mod link: mods.vintagestory.at/dfs

💬 Afroman726, Nov 12th at 2:29 AM

Perfect vibe for this game!  Thank you so much :D

💬 Wiewich, Oct 28th at 8:37 PM

Thank you so much! I just thought that the OST of Oblivion is perfect for the game and this mod.

@Murraya

I just checked the file structure in the game folder and the 2 music mods i linked as inspiration on this page ! Its pretty simple to do, you can use my mod as well if you like to have the correct file paths, i'll try to explain how! 

The path structure for the folders should look as follows without the the brakets: YourMod.zip -> assets (folder), modicon.png (this will be the icon shown in the mod menu ingame), modinfo.json (here you can change the name of the mod ingame, its description and the game version required to use it. Open with a text editor of your choice) -> game (folder) -> music (folder) -> your music files in .ogg format, musicconfig.json

For the music file naming it should be all lower case with no spaces, use - instead of space otherwhise i found the game has trouble fetching the right files and no music will play. In the musicconfig.json you need to then point to the correct file names for the surface tracks (currently underground tracks can not be added through this method without being extremely scuffed as i mentioned in a pervious comment).

Example:
{
"$type": "Vintagestory.API.Client.SurfaceMusicTrack, VintagestoryAPI",
file: "glory-of-cyrodiil",  <-------- (This should match the file name you have chosen for your track the rest can be ignored but you can mess with it to change the music behaviour)
name: "Glory of Cyrodiil",
onPlayList: "survival|creative",
minhour: 2,
maxhour: 24,
startPriority: { avg: 1.1, var: 0.2 }
}


Hope this helps ! And good luck with your music mod :)

💬 Murraya, Sep 26th at 5:09 AM

I'd like to make a music mod as well. Where did you learn to make one?

💬 CherryRookAuthor, Aug 31st at 1:27 AM

@SpacemanSpliff


Yes i have seen this mod, haven't had time to check it yet though. I'll see how it works in the coming days and if its possible to add the tracks, i may even be able to add the battle tracks from the sound of the description.
I'd like to contact the author as well before i release a replacement to see if they would be okay with that, if it works. So it may not come to pass but i'll write an update here in the comments whatever the case may be!

💬 SpacemanSpliff, Aug 26th at 2:30 PM

Awe, I see. That's okay. It sounds like this mod https://mods.vintagestory.at/vintagesymphony might provide you the functionality you need then? I don't use it but by its description it seems like it may help. 

Anyways, what you have here is pretty great. I do enjoy it greatly.

💬 Briccars, Aug 25th at 6:49 PM

I saw a mudcrab the other day, awful creatures.

💬 CherryRookAuthor, Aug 22nd at 2:37 AM

@SpacemanSpliff

I have already tried to get that to work to no avail, sadly its not possible with how the game handles underground music. It basically plays them as seperate parts and layers those on top of eachother at random, so any attempt to just add music like for the overworld results in overlapping tracks. You would have to rewrite how the game handles cave tracks wich is beyond my capabilitys i am afraid :(

💬 SpacemanSpliff, Aug 19th at 5:58 PM

Love this, is there any way to add the oblivion dungeon music to the cave track list?

💬 Angellord, Jul 21st at 1:32 AM

Nice to see that someone else loves this wonderful music of creation :)
