Custom Music?

[Daryl]

Is there a way to add custom music to play in background?

Some Hans Zimmer would do nicely

Just use a media player in the background. Works fine as well.

But i had hoped it would be integrated in

Barring some likely complicated solution of replacing and renaming files, then no. I have to agree with the use media player suggestion for now. Just turn off game music volume, keep any sound effects, and turn on the music you want for now. Maybe someday?

There is no replacing/renaming files, just converting some files to .ogg and listing the names and filenames into 2 separate text documents apparently

only way I know is by a mod

something like this

1) Start the Launcher

2) Go to the Mods tab and click on Mod tools

3) Click on the Create Mod tab and enter your mod name in the first field, and the name of your music folder which will contain your music files. Just name them both music, it doesn't matter.

4) Now, click on the Create Mod button in the bottom right, and close the launcher.

5) Navigate to My documents > Stellaris Interactive > Stellaris > mod and find your music folder

6) Put your converted .ogg music files in the music folder you created above

7) Now, create new .txt files. Name one mysong.asset (you can still open it with notepad) and the other mysong.txt.

8) in the mysong.asset, put in the line:

music = {
name = "ENTER NAME SONG HERE"
file = "ENTER NAME SONG HERE.ogg"
volume = 0.50
}

music = {
name = "ENTER NAME SONG 2 HERE"
file = "ENTER NAME SONG 2 HERE.ogg"
volume = 0.50
}

(You need to add a line for each song you wish to be played.)

9) in the mysong.txt, put in the line :

song = {
name = "ENTER NAME SONG HERE"
}

song = {
name = "ENTER NAME SONG 2 HERE"
}

(You need add a line for each song you wish to be played.)

10) Launch the launcher, go to mods and select music. That's it, now your music will be shuffled into the game soundtrack

Hope this helps!

Also, I just tested it and it is iron man compatible

For this method, will the songs appear in the in-game music player or just be played at random? I have followed these instructions (it's pretty easy actually) but my songs don't appear in the playlist. (running v 1.6.0, usually with the Star Trek New Horizons mod)

Unfortunately, this is all pre-1.5, and I haven't figured out how to mod the music player. My solution so far has been to use the Mass effect soundtrack mod from the workshop and just add in my own music into the mod .rar (+alter the asset files as before). Not sure how, but that way my music is in the player, so I hope that helps.

Hello, everyone.

Sorry for my English, I'm French.

Although this post is already a few years old, I wanted to respond.

Axnor's method works just as well by putting directly his own songs as .ogg files in the "music" folder and by modifying the files songs.asset and song.txt.

I confirm that they then appear in the in-game player.

Good game.
