Custom Music

[Nick930]

Anyone figure out how to import custom tracks into the game? I'd like to be able to play my own music rather than the playlist provided in the game.

And no.. playing my music outside of the game doesn't count. I want to be able to hack the stereos in stores and have them blast Godsmack or Tool.

It's Ubisoft, never gonna happen.

[Nick930]

Yes.. thank you for your pessimistic observation. But I didn't ask Ubisoft to add anything. I asked if someone figured out how to do it with what was already given. Glad to see people only read the title of articles and don't bother to read what the discussion post actually says.

i wish i knew, the music in game is horrible

Here's a step by step tutorial for custom music

Turn on computer, wait for it to finish booting, start watchdogs, go to video options select "borderless' on the resolution screen, alt-tab, start preffered music medium, set hotkey to play pause and skip, without minimizing, done.

(Not trying to be a ♥♥♥♥ , just messing around lol)

Seriously though, thats all you have to do, if it's possible in whatever music program you use set the hotkeys I mentioned so you can control it and pause it for cinematics or whatever.

I've looked into it, but it's a no go. There are no options to play custom music.

Yeah, I think I remember reading that they didn't do it in GTA 5 because of copyright laws, and some artists not wanting their songs associated with the game.

Just do what I said in my prevvious reply, just need the hotkey to stop/play or just alt tab for cutscenes......I'm rambling

I just hope they finally include this on the PC port. Playing custom music was a tradition on the PC GTAs.

Custom music has nothing to do with copyright laws and artists not wanting their music associated with the game.

It's simply a money matter and whether or not it's worth spending money on the R&D to put in a custom music feature. I'm sure Rockstar will include a custom music station again as they have in their previous games.

But this is irrelevant. I asked if someone knew a way to get custom music into Watch_Dogs, officially or not officially, by means of modding files. I know in Left4Dead, you can modify music files and change them so that the theme songs for enemies play your own music instead, even though this is not a legitamte feature, it's still possible to do.

Oh I read it very well, thanks and you're welcome. I was doing you a favor and telling you no, you're wasting your time. The game is not made in a way to be manually customized in any way, which is why I said it's Ubisoft. All of their games, maybe to the exception of FC3, are solid builds which provide no access to modding.

You can cause glitches or mess with graphics, but good luck changing anything useful. You can even go as far as to find the songs, rip them but not find what plays them. I said never gonna happpen, because with Ubi it's a hit or miss. Either it is or it isn't. They don't care about suggestions unless it makes them $$$.

You did NOT just put godsmack and tool in the same sentence...

I'm just thinking of random examples, don't start flaming about which bands are better, I don't care. Obviously Tool is a far better band, but that's subjective to personal opinion. And obviously not the point of my post.

Yeah that's what I was afraid of.

Your right it was not made to be customized.

But take a look at this [www.nexusmods.com]

And actually that all started with this mod

The Worse Mod [www.guru3d.com]

But sadly i havent found anything like "custom music" yet

[rhobherto]

I've asked this question here before, and started a thread over at Guru3D two months ago: 'Watch Dogs "Add your own music" mod... Where is it?' 3150 views of that question. 0 solutions.

WD game hint: "You can play your music or customize your playlists in the Smartphone's Media App."
