Music Switcher
With sample custom music from Honkai: Star Rail

This mod allows you to mix and match custom music with vanilla music using LunaLib's options (startup menu screen, top left corner).
Different tracks will be played depending on your standing with the faction you are interacting with, and what you are doing to them (combat/visiting market/encountering fleets).

Dependencies: LunaLib and LazyLib

Only modifies what music to play, okay to add/remove mid-save.
Compatible with other music packs, but not mods that modify the music plugin(currently the only known one is Custom Battle Music).

Sample music included is generally more upbeat/less menacing than vanilla alternatives, also the Gacha track is used for surveying/looting, see if they suit you.

If you already know how to change music with sounds.json, what this mod adds is the option to
1 Customize combat music
2 Differentiate music for Luddic Church/Path (they share the same tracks in vanilla), also Player Faction, independent and [REDACTED] (all use the default faction music in vanilla).

Note that Sindrian Diktat is left vanilla by default because I couldn't find fitting HSR tracks for their custom use, but feel free to use some of your own. See the in-game instructions in Lunasettings on how to add your custom music.

Thanks to ruddygreat, Lukas04, Histidine and other members of the Galatia Academy for fixing my Java illiteracy.

For players interested in using self-provided tracks:

Spoiler

You can replace sample custom music in this mod with anything you like (file must be in .ogg format), or add them into the shuffle.

To replace:
Simply navigate to the /Starsector/mods/Music Switcher/sounds folder, find whatever .ogg file you want to replace, delete it, rename your own .ogg file to what it used to be and paste in its place.

To add multiple tracks to a shuffle:
1 Do the same as above, but since only one file can use the old file's name, you need to rename the rest into for example MyMusicFile2.ogg
2 Open /Starsector/mods/Music Switcher/data/config/sounds.json with a notepad, Ctrl+F to search for the first file name, for example
   "CustomDiktatEncounterHostile.ogg",
and add
   "MyMusicFile2.ogg",
one line below it (inside the overarching "files":[   ] bracket)
Don't lose the comma at the end of each line, tweak the volume if you want to.

Restart the game to take effect.
If you fiddled with sounds.json and the game refuses to start and gives you an error message, you probably missed/duplicated a comma or a bracket.

For modders interested in adding combat music for your mod's faction:

Spoiler

You can add customized combat music and let Music Switcher play it when the player fights your mod's faction:

1 Add the following to your myfaction.faction file
  "music": {"combat": "Custom_music_myfaction_combat"}
2 Add the following to your mod's sounds.json
  "music":
{
"Custom_music_myfaction_combat":
   [
      {
        "source":"sounds/Combat/",
        "volume":0.80,
        "file":"MyMusicFile2.ogg",
      }
   ]
}
3 Create a sounds/Combat/ folder in your mod's base directory if you don't have one already, put MyMusicFile2.ogg inside.
4 Instruct the player to use Music Switcher if they want to hear custom music while fighting your faction. This would be a soft dependency, meaning that they can choose not to use Music Switcher, and other functions of your mod will be unaffected.

I hope Wildfire is theme you hear when you run into remenants

Too many good boss music, too few bosses!

I tried to put Wildfire somewhere but the vocals didn't really fit in.

Sam's boss theme was used instead for hostile [REDACTED] encounters.

As the game gets more popular with steam potential future this framework is a godsend to add multiple/ease of use for custom ost compared to before. I've been waiting for such a framework for 5 years.

[Zone51alex]

this mod is actually quite nice tho, its both a godsend but also this is Almost what i was looking for, basically loading different combat music for each faction but not touch the vanilla music systems it seems to just crash on null for me after a massive Edit of the files to get it to load like i want.

If you were changing sounds.json, existing entries must not be left empty (or you'll get the null point exception), same for .ogg files, one must exist for each  corresponding entry defined by sounds.json

I can try to do some tweaks for easier customization, depending on what functions you're looking for

[Zone51alex]

i only need the custom_music_combat tho on your case you can set it up as a toggle for each Group

one for Combat music, Title Menu music, Survey/scavenge music, Campaign music, Exploration Music, market music, Encounter music. to turn on or off each in a ModSettings.json.

preventing a Null crash that way and adding customization too.

The options are already there in Luna settings at the startup menu screen (top left corner "mod settings")
yeah I should also make master switch for each group

[Zone51alex]

yes but its turning on and off Combat music for each faction and that's the opposite of what i need ,i need to turn off custom music for everything EXCEPT combat.
also i wouldn't mind faction music playing if you're in their star system.

[Aldazar]

Option for a force shuffle or restart? Not sure why but sometimes music will cut off unless I go to menu when adding tracks.

There's a [Faction Encounter and Market Music] tab next to combat, you can switch everything in it to vanilla, and leave combat in custom

Star-system-specific music probably won't be coming any time soon, since most systems are being contested (including by the player, if not pirates and Nexerelin's invasions)

[Wallshrabnic]

Music works really strange, especially with vanilla turned on. Always chooses the first track from many, and has a priority for vanilla

[Aldazar]

Nvm I fixed it.

i just see campaign music and combat music tabs and the campaign music tab just has a explanation.
nvm that stuff got commented out somehow,thanks, i'l see myself out.
