Radio mod on nexus allows you to create a list of internet radio stations, mp3s in folders for each faction, etc.

Just do a search for it. It’s easy to find.
Mods: RPG: Reputations and Professions, Social Standings and Citizenships, Crime has Consequences, Alternatives to Death. Missions/NPCs: Emergent Missions, NPC Reactions, Mod Parts Trader, High-sec Rooms are Locked, Hacking Outcomes, More Generic Missions, Waypoint Fields for Deployment. Others: Auto-cam, Friendly Fire Tweaks, Teleport From Transporter Room, Wear and Tear. QoL: Trade Analytics, Loot Mining, Ship Scanner, Signal Leak Hunter, Station Scanner, Surface Element Targeting, etc.

For this you will need to find all the music soundtrack entries in sound_library.xml and repalce them with your music, for example:

Code: Select all

  <replace sel="/soundlibrary/sound[@id='music_soundtrack_argon']">
    <sound id="music_soundtrack_argon" description="argon music" repeat="-1" is3d="0" preload="0">
      <sample selection="random">
        <select start="extensions\your_mod\music\your_music1" />
        <select start="extensions\your_mod\music\your_music2" />
      </sample>
      <volume start="0.6" />
      <effects>
        <fade in="1.66667" out="0.666667" />
      </effects>
    </sound>
  </replace>
This replaces music entry for music_soundtrack_argon, there are other entries for different soundtracks.

I have simply taken the Legacy Music Extended mod from Nexus, and slammed in all EVE Online ambient background tracks I could find. Had to convert the mp3's to ogg's (done with VLC) and then add the tracks into the already existing XML file. Works great. And sounds great.

Cool. Should throw it up on the workshop too. We need more audio mods.
