1.19.8 or newer versions for this mod when ?

For anyone confused about Trumpet and Saxophone: You need to heat up and smith Brass Ingots for them. I only found this due to the recipe and some guesswork. Posting this because no one else mentioned it.

We're doing a lowkey, mostly vanilla server. Your mod is everyone's very favorite.

on the other hand: please add a way to make the Hunter stop playing Yakkity Sax and chasing me around the yard 😭 /j

I think this mod is fantastic. It's one of my favorite mods on the workshop.

I'd like to suggest some more instruments, for the far far future.

I read that the Hurdy Gurdy will be added, this is something I can't wait for.

Hi, The violin is held backwards I believe

Hello,

Having issues mod says in game menu Could not find folder at  "C:\Users\karth\AppData\Roaming\VintageStory\abc."
But I have a folder there named abc and a ton of abc files in it.

Is there something IM doing wrong..????   I assume it doesnt have to be in EXACLY Program Files as my game is not installed their. Just that a abc folder must be in the vintagestory game directory.

In your Vintage Story game directory (usually in C:\Program Files\Vintage Story):

• Create a folder named 'abc'
• Put your abc files into here!

Where do Mac users place the abc files at we have a friend on mac thats been trying to play music but cant

Hi! 

I'm having some trouble with the tempo. Is there a way to dictate the tempo in EasyABC that your mod will pick up?
I tried the following notations=> Q:1/4=200 and Q:200 which the player from the program can do, but it doesn't work in Vintage story.

Any idea's?

Thank you either way, the mod's fantastic!

*Update: I think VS just takes 1/4 notes, adjust accordingly. Q:200 changed to Q:400 and it worked. Still, any insight to how it reads would be appreciated.

I would like understand how to turn ON/OFF the icon that appears on the bottom right corner of screen.

It's interfering with my statusHUD display. Is there a way to move it or better still, turn it off? thanks. 

A cello would be a really good addition to the mod as its currently lacking good base instruments

The path on my machine is:

/usr/share/vintagestory/abc

(You probably need root permissions to create the abc directory)

I hope it helps!

Hey, hate to bother you but where do you put the ABC file if you're on linux? Someone in the comments found it at some point but it looks like the file structure has changed since then. thans in advance ^^

Unless I missed it and it's already in, a banjo would be awesome if added!
You've already got the acoustic guitar, just need that for the classic duel!

Hello! My friends and I are a bit lost. It appears that we can't make a trumpet and a saxophone by smithing for some reason. I don't know if it's a bug but we just can't figure this out. Handbook is also not helping, it only states to get them by smithing. Some help or explanation would be appreciated :D

Im not sure if anyone has run into the same issue or knows how to fix it, but when im playing a song with a long portion of silence the instrument starts up too early causing desync for the rest of the song. This is purely speculation but it seems like the instruments can only handle so many rests in a row before it is forced to move on to the next actual note

While I am not the first to make this feature request, if there was any way to make at least some of the instruments playable in the off-hand that would be wonderful. It's fun to have some musical accompaniament while exploring, but I find it too easy to have some momentary interaction require me to interrupt and stop the song.

Great mod, regardless!

If you guys need ABC files, you can look throught the Lord Of The Rings Online communities, since that game also have a very extensive ABC band system.

Just curious to know if it'd be theoretically possible to implement playing instruments with an actual MIDI controller? If not, what are the limitations that'd prevent it from being done? Thanks =)

I've gotten to the bottom of the crash (I think) and version 1.2.7 should be much more stable!

I'm looking into some animation programs that will hopefully make adding new instruments easier, stay tuned.

In my quick testing, I'm finding that the trumpet crashes my game whenever I play any ABC files on it. Other instruments seem fine, though I'll have to test the rest of them.

Quacksol

Could you add some more tribal instruments like ...

-  Conch
- Digeridoo
- Djembe Drum
- Marimba
- Ocarina
- Panpipes
- Rainstick

Thanks in advance!

I don't know if you're accepting requests/suggestions, but I'd really love to see a Cello in this mod!

Working on 1.19 or update planed?

Will this mod be updated to 1.19?

Just wanted to mention that I tested the current release of this mod (1.2.4) on the new release of 1.19.0 and everything seems to be working as expected, although I have not tested the band features. The only thing I thing I noticed (which might of been a 1.18 issue honestly) is that the music block has a error in the model, as you can see a hole in the back of the 'horn'.

On a seporate note, I love the mod and thanks for creating it. I do have a small request though. Would it be possible to add a config option to disable the music block entirely (or at least the ability to craft it), as I think this makes the resonator pointless.

Quacksol but it doesn't help that the mod could have some benefit from being able to link to other music boxes without the need of other players which can be helpful for making orchestra.
But what I can find it to try to click as fast as possible to create thee music but the delays are the issue of the problem
Also what are the requirements to be a accepted model?
How to access the game's pitch bending?

Hey! I love this mod. Didn't have so much laugh for a while. It's possible to add a song queue to music block?

I think the ABC files shouldn't be in the install directory, but rather in ModData next to the user mods directory.

Would kill to have a carnyx as an instrument.

Anyone know what the correct path for the Flatpack version is?

Edit: Figured it out.

/home/****/.local/share/flatpak/app/at.vintagestory.VintageStory/x86_64/stable/3df066e8bee88afcadf08de99c924620183bec54a572fb4c78dca9e2c035542d/files/extra/vintagestory/abc/

Ruyeex You're more than welcome to look into how I've implemented each instrument in the source code, but essentially we need a model, a recipe and a sound file for the note 'a' for 8 octaves. I use the game's pitch bending to reach every other note.

What instrument do you have in mind?

As for playing instruments at the same time, either rope your friends in or use some music blocks, just assign each player the song/part you want to play.

Is there a way to make our own instruments and share it with you?
Also a way to play all instruments at the same time? 

MIDI would be possible, but the main issue is that MIDI files usually contain all instruments of a song. Playing all channels with a single instrument is messy (especially when percussion is involved), and one player should be playing one instrument, really. Then there's dealing with instruments not implemented in the mod (especially synth nonsense), volumes, echo and duplicated channels. ABC makes things simpler by giving each instrument its own part to play.

I think the most viable thing moving forward is a MIDI converter and cleaner for use with this mod. I've use starbound composera lot, but that requires Starbound to be installed which isn't ideal. It's something I'll need to look into.

Quacksol Keep going !!! Do you have any ideas if you can change the system of the mod to work with midi (.mid) files instead of .abc ? Because there is WAY MORE midi files on internet (pretty every existing songs exist in midi but not abc...) because .abc are harder to work with ! 

Hi all, I've updated the mod to 1.18.15. There were a few API changes but nothing major.

Thanks for trying the mod out! There are a lot of things I want to implement in the future, but I have other priorities irl (as do we all!). I hope to come back soon.

Does this mod still work in version 1.18.15?

Love this mod, just wish that temporal storms didn't distort the audio to sound like a garbled mess because there's no better time to break out the instruments and play some music.

the mod's echo chamber caused some death crashing song in its radius

Had to delete the mod and re load the chunck to finally fix the crashing music, idk exactly how I caused that

Hi ! I really like this mod but the .abc kind of files are difficult to use and there is not a lot of way to download them ! Do you think it would be possible for you to use .mid (MIDI files) to replace .abc ? That would give us A LOT of more choices and it's easy to find and put in ! <3

This is a awesome mod. I use this in singleplayer to give a little character to situations.

I have a suggestion, might be a stretch though. Would it be possible to add a pipe organ? I know the base game supports multi-block structures, but would it be possible to turn one of those into an instrument? Besides, I think a pipe organ would fit the general atmosphere of the base game.

I'm not a coder, modder, and/or anything similar so I don't know how hard that would be. I just thought it would be a cool suggestion.

👍

I have some abc files instaled but they dont play. it acts like I dont have any at all. am i supposed to have the file named something very specific? Or do I somehow have it in the wrong place? I followed the instructions so im not sure what i did wrong

This is a great mod man, good work!

If you want any suggestions I think it would be nice to be able to carry instruments in your off-hand and play them, I think that was a thing in starbound if I remember right. That way we could go do things while also playing instruments.
The implementation is really solid and fun to have; thanks for your contribution to the community Quacksol! :D

I will not lie, I have been churning out ABC files recently, and going over multiple midi files... gonna post alot of things... I have one issue: I cant do black midi in its entirety sadly... 

on the plus side, if anyone has a beefier computer than mine, perhaps you can get it to work on alot better frames cause already the mod wont load the full version with all 6.2 million notes :P

now, what i really need is a way to control the tempo, cause its stuck at 1 single tempo, and idk what it is at...

If the ocarina gets added in, someone please post some ABC files for Legend of Zelda songs.

Nut_Torquer check out guides for www.starboundcomposer.com

anyone know a good way to convert a Midi file to ABC that actually functions? I can't find shit.

SecretFoxfire I got a complaint about a year ago that the volume was too high, lol. Once I figure out reading JSON settings files, I'm planning on making the volumes modifiable.

Is there any way to adjust the volume on the music? I had a great time playing music on my stream today but it was really quiet even with the game volume at max.

Hi PR1SMAT1C_GARD3N, when you try to play an instrument in abc mode, does it give an error message?

Hi! I'm trying to install a few abc files I made to test out the mod but I can't quite figure out what you mean my games "installed directory", mind elaborating a bit? I tried both Roaming and the games folder itself under Roaming and the VintagestoryData folder, but no dice

Play instruments in a temporal storm for best results XD

Whenever I try to play ABC files I made, I get "error parsing file: char index 17"

https://pastebin.com/X0UCX3hz

Love the mod, I would suggest adding hooting/whisling with a jug.

It crashes my PC

Sadly doesn't work on 1.18 yet. Crash on item selection in the hotbar.

Getting error parsing file: char index 0

Hi there,

I'm working on converting a series of MIDI files into band-compatible ABCs using the Maestro app, but i've encountered an issue: The drum selector on the drum kit maps completely wrong sound-wise, so if i were to set part of the drum channel as a high tom, for example, it might be played in-game as a rattle instead. Does anyone know how to work around it, or has any accurate mapping translators? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all,

If you have any bugs/crashes, please report them to the discord mod post: https://discord.com/channels/302152934249070593/1044981745742782474

Thank you for trying my mod!

There's a gamebreaking server bug. If a player tries to connect while another player is playing instruments the client will crash for the palyer trying to connect.

Hi OmegaHaxors, if you create/find a MIDI of the song you like, you can convert each channel of that file to a separate abc file. Also, there should already be a tab for the instruments.

I'm getting really into the band system. How would I construct the ABC files so that each instrument in the band gets its own channel?
Also please make a creative tab for the various instruments. They're so hard to find in the menu.

I played "row row row your boats" on the steel drum and it sounded drunk af. 10/10 a masterpiece

You know what this mod needs? It needs a playable jug.

The game already has jugs. You just need to blow on it!

Hey Pabbley, could you send me the details, such as which versions of the mod/game you are using and the crash report?

Hey there! The harp crashs to desktop when I attempted to play it!

Yes, ground storage would be amazing!

It would be great if you make instruments ground storable. Whether against wall or just as pumpkins. Here is the Ground Storage page from vanilla wiki that lists all of them.

HI everyone, the mod is updated for 1.17.2, and no longer crashes on opening UI.

Needs and update, crashes when instrument UI opens

Does this work with 16.5?

Hyped for animations and bagpipes.

Hi RogueRaiden, I'm sorry to say that the instruments are not placeable for the moment. They can however be placed on tool racks.

How do you place down the instruments?

Hi! I made a french translation for your mod, feel free to add it if you want. 😊

fr.json - Instruments 1.1.1

Could you add the Shofar, craftable from a horn that drops from big horn sheep?

i had a much older version , new version worked great!  Thanks !

I have found the culprit, but the issue has been fixed in version 1.0.8. I've just tested the file, and it works for me. Are you using the latest version?

Quacksol , here is the Pastebin : Poker Face .abc file - Pastebin.com

I'm not too familliar with MIDI, right now there are no plans to integrate it to the mod. With abcs, each track of a MIDI file needs its own player, which works better with the game, at least in my opinion. But I would like to add keyboard playback at some point.

Lyte, could you send me the file, over pastebin?

I used Maestro  MIDI to .abc  file converter and everytime i try to play the Converted File on an instrument, i get a "Error Parsing File, Char Index 205"  message.  Do you know how to fix this ?

Maybe this is a stupid question, but is it possible to add the ability to play MIDI files or the code won't allow it?

I am wondering about live playing.

I'm not too deep into modding yet, so I am wondering about the feasibility of MIDI inputs or maybe using the keyboard to play the instruments.

Proposed instrument: the hurdy gurdy. 😃

Hi guys, instruments_1.0.8 has a client crashing mod, please update to 1.0.9 if you're playing multiplayer.

https://streamable.com/i1rmcu

The mod's available here now! I've also made a few fixes.

Oh yeah, I even talked about this with someone recently. Oops!

• Due to the amount of sound samples in the mod, it is not available on VSModDB, so follow the link in the homepage tab to the forums.

Someone forgot to read

Someone forgot to upload the mod.

How to download?

Very cool
