I'm also having the problem with pawns picking up instruments to play them then running off with them in their inventory. They haven't been drafted or anything. To get an instrument back in designated storage, I have to force the pawn to drop it.

@Balthazad You can change the music file to what ever you feel fits. The sounds is just from the patchmod I included

ah thx Mlie, but that disables it for all, i'm actually just annoyed by the framedrums playing spacetechno

@76561197978398626 I dont know what that means

character stay standing when using freewill

@tanyfilina Mods that existed before the dlc release does not have to be removed. You cannot publish new ones.

For me what I see there seems like the variant "it means only the copy of the code" that is prohibited. Not the ideas themselves. For example, there were still Children mods for the 1.5 version of game, although they were introduced with Biotech.

That being said, I don't know of course, if the patch I linked uses the copy of Royalty code, or some original code.

@tanyfilina https://store.steampowered.com/eula/294100_eula_1
under modding

I would imagine it's in the TOS somewhere

Seriously? It's, like, written sommewhere?
Also, I wonder, it means only the copy of the code, or even the conceptual replication?

@tanyfilina Because its not allowed to replicate DLC features and release it as a mod on the workshop without depending on the DLC

https://github.com/RunningBugs/rimworld-RimModNotes/tree/main/15-MusicalInstrumentsPatch

I just want to remind that there IS a version that doesn't require Royalty, although I didn't tested it in 1.6. I wonder why it wasn't uploaded in the Workshop.

@Balthazad You can turn it off in the mod-options

is there a way to remove the retarded music? it's extremely contraimmersive to have pawns playing spacetechno on framedrums, just wtf

oh man i did not expect this, you're the best! Thank you!

@tanyfilina The instruments playing actual sounds does, yea

Does it require Royalty?

@Naturtok Sure, should be added now

kindve a long shot, but any way this patch could get rolled into this? Feels weird with the pawns "playing music" but not making any sound

try switching your download server in steam: Settings -> Downloads -> Downloadregion

@zypherstyle I dont have any control over your Steam downloads. You should probably contact their support about that

Mod will not download after subscribing, haven't ran into this issue with any of your other (Continued) mods. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Works for 1.6, at most it throws a harmless error popup

anybody tested it for 1.6?

Is there a check for the pawns to drop items? In my current play through they tend to keep instruments in inventory. It's heavily modded though, yet maybe a simple line of code could be enough?

@Phil McRacken Please see the Reporting Issues section described above

@AstralStardust there is a patch with sound on the third page of comments

@AstralStardust They do not have sounds

I can't hear them play :<

Ay, thanks a lot!

@greensniperhat Should be fixe now

Found an error with Westerado on:
XML error: Could not find parent node named "HornMusicalInstrumentBase" for node "ThingDef".
The patch needs to be updated?

so not an error error, just a mistake. the problem is that crafter pawns with bad art scores end up making the instruments instead of good artist pawns.

Thanks for the response, Mlie.

@The Bard of Hearts They are functionally the same. They may have different beauty values

Ok. I have a question. Do the different instruments have different "functional" values? They cost wildly different materials and time to make but they never seem to have a functional difference at all. Is that the case? or am I missing something?

@AcetheSuperVillain And what is the error?

There is an error, making instruments is a crafting job, even though it uses the artistic skill

@GeneralTso Seems to work okay when I test it so you may have a mod-conflict

The placed instruments work fine and they seem to be carrying around and using ocarinas and drums just fine but they don't use the actual music spots. Like the little blue squares you put down similar to trading spots

@GeneralTso What instrument are you referring to?

do i need to do anything to get pawns to play at a music spot? they play in the common room all the time and i setup a stage specifically for them to play on but i haven't ever seen them use the music spot

@(≡◉‿‿◉≡) I think, dangerous I know, but I think you can separate them in zones/stockpiles by quality right? Just put a zone that only allows low quality and allows those instruments near it, and a short radius job to destroy items of that type (however it works to do that, been a bit since played). Please forgive me If I have forgotten. but I am sure a stockpile/zone management would allow it.

That stockpile will be in range when next to the place to destroy and that job will only hit that stockpile, SO long as you make sure the range/radius on that JOB ticket is small and not in range of other things. Otherwise you risk destroying more then you wanted.

Before I forget, did you try a smelter, smithy or other such place to destroy/Dismantle tools/weapons?

@Pos 5 your patch works wonderful and the sound choice is perfect (but maybe for a frame drum that sounds not enough neolithic for me). Why don't you publish it in the Workshop?

I've had the same bug. Pawn was playing ocarina (in a strange place too - just outside the building where a table was near that wall) and other pawn was listening to that at the table inside a building. Then I saved-exited-loaded, and even on the next day some pawn went to that table to listen that music, although the first pawn wasn't playing it anymore.

I've seen what the previous comment was talking about as well. But another thing I've noticed, is that pawns will go "Listening to music" and getting joy from it, even when there is nobody playing anything. Like a pawn will just stand in front of the marimba and get joy from it when nobody else is there.

I have a similar problem as The_Silver_Nuke .
If pawns play music when i save or autosave.
next time i load save that pawns still play music without note on head.
pawns get stuck when playing until downed or drafted.
sorry,i'm not good at English.

I want to like this mod. I just wish there's a way to destroy the low quality on the furnace.

I just got testing it with and without all mods except for this and Harmony and it didn't occur either time, so IDK how to pop an error log manually or smth when it does happen. It's somewhat inconsistent.
