Choose your own FG music

[Ryli]

I have seen topics asking for music for FGs, and from what I gather there is work been done on this.

What I would like is the ability to select a song from your own computer to play during FGs. This would be individual to your computer.

I don't know anything about programming or servers or anything so I don't know if this is possible or not, but I think it would be a good feature, as everyone has different tastes in music.

That would be a simple fix: have a button to disable music in the game, independent of the sound effects. This has been suggested before, but it is a great idea.

Enh, I'm not that hooked on the sfx in this game, so I just disable all sound whenever I log in.  But I guess having the sfx does allow you to pvp or whatever in background while doing something else - you get sound alerts when it's your turn.

I wanted to know if it can be done so the song plays automatically when you get the false god, and ends when you finish. A different song that you choose for each false god from your computer. Like the way in console games levels and bosses have their own theme that plays as soon as you start.

If it can't be done it's no problem.

Interface-building would be the only obstacle; the coding to refer to files on your computer wouldn't be hard at all.  Heck, if QBasic could play MP3s, I could write this in that language.

One negative thing about this suggestion, though: probably almost everyone would use this feature, meaning the game's native music would get little to no attention, and Zanz may feel the music is part of the "personality" of his game.

I suppose. Well it's up to him if this is implemented or not. Either way I'm not too bothered. I just thought it would be good for people who don't like the music and just turn it off anyway.

What i think would be better:

Having a list of selectable songs for the background music all the time, then just choosing whatever you want (personally, i miss the original login music with guitar)
I honestly know nothing about how to make this work, but see no reason why it shouldn't.

Big big difference between QBasic and Flash - Flash is executed from a browser, meaning that there are certain security restrictions in place for accessing local files. Otherwise anyone could just make a flash animation and steal all your data.
