Latest file for v1.19.8:
vintage-symphony_0.9.2.zip 1-click install


Vintage Symphony is a situation-aware music engine replacement for Vintage Story. It removes almost all original music and replaces it with over 50 instrumental tracks that change according to the situation you are facing.

The mod is currently in the testing phase. While most features should work as expected, there is still room for adjustments. So let me know if a track is to loud, becoming annoying, or does not fit the situation. Please check the available console commands as they show you more information about the track and the current situation assessment.

 

Installation

Manual installation is no longer necessary; the mod can be installed like any other.

The music will download the first time you play with the mod. A save-game reload is required for the music to be recognized.

 

Updating an existing installation

Delete the old mod file from your mods directory and install the new version manually or by using 1-click-install. Keep the vintage-symphony-assets_* file to avoid redownloading the music files.

 

Console Commands

.music info
Shows artist and title of the playing track

.music next
Finds a new song to play. Also interrupts music pauses.

.music stop
Stops the current track

.music config
Toggles the configuration dialog

.music debug
Toggles the debug overlay

kenshi inspired, really should talk to the Devs about this in the Main game version, this would be so cool.

💬 Lucasxyz5, Aug 29th at 7:10 PM

Really like the mod. I'm not sure if this is the place to report it, but I've found a bug - executing the .music next command followed by .music info while underground will crash the game.

Speaking of the underground - do you have any plans to do stuff with music there? I really haven't played very much with this mod at all yet, but I noticed that just like in vanilla it cuts off the music currently playing whenever I go into my basement, which is a shame. I would love the option to at least have regular music play while underground.

super cool mod!!

would love to see custom music pack support for this. Maybe folders organized by each situation that you can drag and drop ogg files for the mod to pick between.

keep up the great work!

💬 HavilandAuthor, Aug 25th at 8:17 AM

@Novadegree Thank you! I'm glad you like it. 

 

@Azie The symptoms you describe sound odd to me, because the content mod is not a requirement for the music engine. You should not get a message that a dependency is missing. 

Please try the following: Enable the main mod and load into a single player world. The download of the music should start in the background and a notification should be displayed at the top left corner once it's finished. You should find the content mod in your mods folder and in the in game mods list (reload mods). Then try to join a multiplayer server and see if it works. The mod is client only and it's not necessary to install it on the server side. 

If the download does not work for some reason, you can download the content mod from here:

https://github.com/Dantoes/VintageSymphony-Assets-Release/releases

 

Please let me know if that worked for you. I'd like to add that I'm currently on vacation on and won't be able to answer for the upcoming two weeks starting tomorrow.

I'm trying to play with this mod on a server and the client keeps saying it's unable to find the assets mod and that I have to install it manually. Any fix? We have another player on the server that moved the mod into their singleplayer mods folder, loaded a singleplayer world, chose to load vintage symphony music, saved and quit, restarted, and was able to join the server just fine. He does not have the assets mod in his mod folder and neither do I.

💬 Novadegree, Aug 24th at 5:01 PM

This mod is fantastic! I love it! You did a great job!

 

💬 HavilandAuthor, Aug 17th at 2:14 PM

Version 0.9.2 is out, bringing many improvements. The mod can now be downloaded like any other, as the music files have been moved to a separate content mod that will download automatically when you start the game. A save-game reload is required for the changes to take effect.

Be sure to check the patch notes and share your feedback!

💬 DrBubba, Aug 12th at 3:40 PM

Really enjoying the new music.  Very well done.

💬 HavilandAuthor, Aug 11th at 12:54 PM

@dashr Thank you! I experimented with AI music generation but failed to create anything emotional or beautiful. In the end, I'm happy with how it turned out.

@Blink Tracks are meant to replace each other, but that shouldn't happen frequently. Can you describe the situation you were in? Were aggressive creatures nearby? How did the music behave exactly?

💬 Blink, Aug 10th at 1:28 AM

First off thank you for making and sharing this mod. I love it but tracks play over top of each other every so often. I'm using 0.9.1.

💬 dashr, Aug 9th at 6:15 PM

I highly respect you for using authentic music, while also credit the artists without using ai garbo. Respect to you and keep up the great work.

💬 DUCATISLO, Aug 9th at 6:00 PM

pog

💬 HavilandAuthor, Aug 9th at 4:05 PM

I released version 0.9.1 with an option to keep the original music, an in-game update check and more. The configuration dialog should open the very first time the mod is loaded. You can re-open the dialog at any time using console commands.

💬 HavilandAuthor, Aug 8th at 3:53 PM

I'm glad you guys like the mod! Keeping the original music should be relatively easy to implement. I'm going to include this as an opt-in feature in the next release.

I'm still somewhat surprised, because removing the original music was my motivation to create this mod :)

💬 Bloodaxe, Aug 8th at 11:01 AM

Logged inn to tell you that this is great! The music you've chosen and the way it integrates with the game is great, I love that entering a temporal rift distorts the music 😎

I agree with my fellow folks here that it might be wise to allow a toggle or something to enable the OG soundtrack (even though I personally don't enjoy it that much).

💬 Atheliana, Aug 8th at 7:10 AM

I would also love a version that keeps the original music and changes the engine.

💬 Sammy_SMD, Aug 7th at 10:47 PM

That's  awesome

💬 SnugglyWuggums, Aug 7th at 8:18 PM

I've gotta second Mr Goose, here. The base games music is really really good, and losing out on it would be the main thing that keeps me from wanting to use this mod as an autoinclude.

💬 MRGOOSE, Aug 7th at 8:03 PM

would love a version of this that keeps the original music but changes the music engine and only adds a few songs
