I finally started work on the music player for Relto. Currently I have the "advanced" music player in an alpha state with a lot of songs. I plan to have the player start with a basic music player that has only a few songs that can be upgraded by finding the Relto Page for the advanced music player.
The music player is currently made up of models available in the Creation Kit, but I might give it its own model in the future.
When you interact with the music player, you are given an options menu where you can select the theme of the music. The current options are Tavern, Town, Explore, Combat, Dungeon, Solstheim, and Misc. You can also choose to stop the play of any music it is currently playing. I put the music into these categories because there are a lot of great songs in the game, so they needed sub-menus to fit them all. A message box can only have up to ten buttons.
After you select the category, you can choose the individual song you wish to hear. The music player will stop any other music it was playing and play the song you chose.
There is still a lot of work to do on the music player. For one, the music you select will keep playing if you leave Relto, so I am trying to figure out a way to force the songs to stop if you aren't on Relto. I have some ideas about it though, so hopefully it won't be too long until that's fixed. Also, the music player currently does not play any of the bard songs (instrumental or vocal), and I'd like to get those in there as well, although it's not priority (as I might just end up making a bard that can be hired instead).
Happy Exploring!
