Custom Music

[All Knight Party]

The music in this game by Landon Podbielski is awesome, but I just figured out a way to use custom music in Kingsway. In Steam's "common" folder you'll find the Kingsway game folder. Inside that is a folder named Music.

Contained within are the game's music tracks in .ogg file format. If you wish to use your own music all you need to do is convert it from .mp3/what have you to .ogg using an audio converter. Then place the file inside the music folder and rename it to one of the existing song names. Don't forget to back the originals up.

For example, convert your MP3, then change its name to "nan" so that when in-game playing the Nan track from the music player will begin your song instead. The name and length of the custom songs will not be reflected in the music application, but they will play fully and continue to the next song in the list as normal.

If you wish to make a full playlist of up to 19 tracks the order is as follows:

1. Deltree
2. Doscrawl
3. Eastward
4. Gascloud
5. Mshell
6. Runout
7. Solitaire
8. Dskerror
9. Fileman
10. Nan
11. Nodemap
12. Pagefile
13. Pointer
14. Sleep
15. Stream
16. Wizard
17. Forget
18. Moonman
19. Musbox

Aww, so you can't just add them and keep the original music in too?

I tried that, but it would just ignore the new song and wouldn't add anything to the music player. It seems scripted so that the music player always has that exact list of songs in that order with their predefined song lengths, no way to add new entries to the list.

Here's something they could work on for future updates : Adding new chiptune tracks in the gem menu, and allowing for custom additions.

It's not just chiptune, it's almost midi. It's meant to sound like the Windows Soundfont, faintly, which I respect a ♥♥♥♥ ton more than just chiptune, because it's in step with the rest of the design. I would adore a custom music option so that we can use the in-game music application for our music listening needs. Not too necessary since we can make a 19 track playlist as it is, but it would be cool!

I would certainly appreciate it. It's possible now as you pointed out, but it's a bit of a hussle, and you only get to add 19 tracks. It would be a really nice thing to get in a future update for sure.
