yeah its a lwotc issue

@space is cool

I didn't have that problem in Vanilla, but with LWOTC I did. What worked for me was switching the music in game to "Xcom 2" instead of the legacy music option.

i have an issue where its playing the normal x com music on top of the modded in music

@Skarin

I use the Alternative Mod Launcher for the game, which I find works better than the default launcher. You should download this, the halo music mod, and if both are enabled then you should have the halo music play on it's own, with it randomly being either the halo music or whatever you have vanilla set up for. You can download other music packs to have them added to the 'selection' so to speak.

How do you even use this in-game? Im trying to play some halo music

@cbct Yes it does, I have done multiple campaigns with it on WOTC. I also have it 'working' with LWOTC but to a more limited extent.

I dunno what your setup is but I had absolutely no problems with this mod using WOTC across multiple campaigns.

Mod doesnt work on WOTC.

I love this mod, a lot of fun using it with WoTC and music packs like Far Cry Blood Dragon and Brigador to name a few.

Does anyone know how to get this working with Long WoTC though? I have it running but can't seem to get it to work without hearing overlapping tracks :(

i would hope a wotc port is made because i cant get the alternative launcher to work

FOR THOSE WONDERING WHAT THE OPTIONS DO I FOUND THIS IN THE LOCALIZATION FILES:

m_strUseFallback=Allow Fallback
m_strUseFallbackTooltip=Mix the default music in even when a music pack is installed

m_strMixIn=Mix In Indifferent
m_strMixInTooltip=Music Definitions can say that they want to be played at a certain mission. If there is a valid music set directly for that missions, Sets that omit their missions have no chance to play. This setting changes that.

Use the Alternative Mod Launcher and that mod will still work, everyone.

I downloaded Xcom 2 alternative mod launcher and it's working miracles! It works with this mod!

oh gross so that's what it is. Yuck. Sorry that happened. No good updates go unpunished. Hope we get a new mod. Doesn't work for me at all specifically, like something is angry at this mod because it doesn't even show up in the mod menu (in the game in options)

All I want for Christmas is the original XCOM 2 squad loadout song to play instead of the subpar WOTC replacement. :'(

UPDATE:
Due to how the new modlauncher works, you now need an standalone WOTC variant of this addon... And since none exists on the workshop currently?
Well, if you're not good with file editing and you for some reason can't open the old modlauncher? Well, Good luck with that.

so does this not work for Wotc anymore?

Go figure.... :)

works fine for me

Literally doesn't work anymore. Combat music doesn't play.

what's "allow fallback" and "mix in indifferent" do actually? its not explained

AML is showing a conflict between this mod and "Soundtrack Restoration - WotC + TLE" since they both use 'XComTacticalSoundManager'

Is it safe to use both?

I wish theres some mission codes where you put specific songs on specific missions

like advent facility fight only has one battle theme

So... can someone explain me how exactly this mod works?
I've downloaded this framework and a couple of "music packs" (other soundtracks from the workshop).

I was expecting to switch between the different soundtracks in the options menu -> audio
But there i can only switch between two XCom: Enemy Unknown and one War of the Chosen soundtracks (i have all DLCs installed).

Looking in the mod menu -> music modding system i can only select one of two options:
"Allow Fallback" and
"Mix in indifferent".
(what do these do btw?)
`

So... did i do something wrong?
Or will the framework chose randomly from the other installed music packs?

Be sure your AML is set up correctly. I use this mod with no issues. Have not used this with multiple music mods, but will experiment with it soon.

I downloaded a Mass Effect, Call of Duty, and Crysis soundtracks and no music plays during combat for me.

But, I'm assuming we won't get any help with these issues.

The music is unchanged for me with the Divsion music pack mod

Cool mod, friend. How do I integrate this with the WoTC + TLE music restoration mod (sorta mingles all the available soundtracks wotc shipped with.

I'm trying to use this to allow me to add in the helldivers music pack, while retaining the WoTC + Xcom 1 + Xcom EU soundtracks.

Is it possible to use several music pack at once? I am using C&C Music pack and i want to add Wolfenstein; Do i have to use either one or can i use both and the game does the mix and match?

Does anyone know how this mod works with LWOTC2? i am noticing it is working partially but on certain missions the custom music is overlapping with the base games music.

I have had a look at the FAQ and tried it but to no avail.

hello commander, I have tried to create my own music pack follow the tourial doc
but stuck in the "content browser" step
in view bar there is no content browser and I've tried using search function in modbuddy and only found '"environment->Web browser", can any one show me what I might missed?

Soo.. I have a couple music mods that change the skyranger deploy theme, I only want to hear one so I edited the others inis and deleted the relevant lines, but that doesn't seem to have worked? How can I have it so I only hear one mods song on a certain cue?

Not sure where the conflict is, or if it's just this mod, comments seem to be mixed, but I can't play with this mod without crashes. It's somewhat random, doesn't happen every time, but it always happens at the end of missions. Disabling does not help, need to start a new game, now everything is fine. Just thought I'd mention it, in case anybody else has issues. I don't really expect the modder to troubleshoot at this point, seeing as how both this mod and this game have been out a while.

Works fine for me with the Star Wars Music Mod.

If we all sub to @Iridar he might be able to fix this?

Is it possible to have the track change and not constantly loop?

This works with WOTC but in my experience some songs aren't disabled (like from missions with the lost) so you hear two songs at the same time. If you have tactical legacy pack, make sure to select the OST to be the WOTC one or you'll hear a lot of duplicate music.

Works in the WOTC?

so can someone explain to me how we can switch between different music packs or even disable the xcom music so we can only hear our downlaoded and selected music packs???? i need someone to explain this to me

yeah, would love to use this, but the drop in frames, is a little too much for me, since I run a heafty amount of mods and any lowered frames gives me significant fear that it's going to crash, really would like to have the music changed and stuff, but I just don't find the drop in frames worth it.

I've had this mod for awhile, but recently it doesn't seem to be working much. I like playing the game to Halo music, but I'm not hearing it much anymore, I am only hearing base game music. Any idea what to do, or what other mods might be affecting it?

(see below) this also works wonders to get mods to work mid-campaign, by the way

for anyone having troubles getting this to work, go to the config folder of XCOM2 (google where to find it), and delete the contents (yes, all of it). then start up XCOM2 to have it generate all its configs anew. Then enable all your mods (use alternative launcher) and start it again so all mods have new fresh config files. it should work then

Thank you so much for this mod!

having the same issue as @AmberlyVitel465, the options appear in the mod config area in options, but there is no information anywhere as to what "Allow Fallback" or "Mix In Different" do. anyone have more info?

This mod works but it causes a 50% FPS drop which is a shame

@AmberlyVitel465 check your options screen

what do the mod setting options do? No tooltip ever comes up for them

How do you disable the music that plays during the Load in animation (The cutscene where your troops deploy from the skyranger). It is extremely loud and repetitive and can't even be changed with the Music Volume slider in game.

Can confirm this mod causes lag / delays in and during the squad menu. It is sad too cause otherwise it works well. But i cant take this stutter anymore.

I wish there was a Chimera Squad ost for Xcom 2.
