Question about "Shuffle Music" Feature

[OpenRoadRacer | Flame of Liberty]

This is just idle curiosity. It has to do with the mod's "Shuffle Music" function.

Say that a player using PocoHud hosts a lobby, and someone who doesn't joins. The host, using PocoHud's "Shuffle Music" feature, sets the heist music to "Random Track from Heist Playlist" while the other plays sets their heist music to "Same As Host". Say that it's a "loud or nothing" heist like Hoxton Breakout, but the specific heist is unimportant.

Will the other player's heist music continuously change to match the host's music? Or does the player without PocoHud not get their music shuffled?

Again, this is just idle curiosity. If this has been asked before, please direct me to those threads and lock this one.

I suppose not, I didn't put in specific code to dispatch music changes. A new player who joined afterwards may get the current data once though

I see. It's understandable that this wouldn't be done. After all, mods that alter the experience for other players tend to be frowned upon.

But what real downside is there with regards to this? If you don't have PocoHud but the host does, you get to hear a new song each assault wave. Or at least, so long as you've got your music set to "Same As Host". If you don't like your music constantly changing, just set your heist music setting to something that isn't "Same As Host", problem solved.

I honestly wonder why a "Shuffle Music" function that changes songs every assault wave isn't part of the vanilla game. Listening to the same thing endlessly tends to get tiring after a while; PocoHud's ability to change the music throughout the mission makes the game more enjoyable to me.

Yeah it won't hurt, but if only vanilla game clients would receive and apply music change events mid-heist..
