Improved Vanilla Music

Mod collab with RockOn!
Light-weight audio pack that attempts to improve the base game's music using ModAudio's features and some scripting. This pack does not include any audio, instead referencing audio from the game and hence is weightless!

• All my ModAudio route files and scripts will be made available at Github for free use with optional credit required. Filled with comments
• If you need to contact me, you can use the ATLYSS Modding Central Discord server or my thread in there. I prefer pings than DMs, thanks

List of features

3 Customisable toggles prefixed with IVM. Suggest using EasySettings.

• 1-IVM: Improved Vanilla Music (Force loops all unlooped tracks)
• 2-IVM: Looped Victory Music (Off by default: Loops the song played after defeating the dungeon boss)
• 3-IVM: Easter Egg (Off by default: RockOn said this may be annoying to some, so I made it an easter egg)

Added music to the subregions (or sub-zones) using songs from the game files and referencing them via ModAudio to stay light-weight.

• Church of the Elders now plays music_whisper, the song played after dungeon bosses are defeated
• Crescent Cove now plays mu_nouCove, an unused track in the files
• Ammagon's Hut now plays _mu_tired, an unused track in the files
• Redwoud now plays _mu_lethargy, an unused track in the files
• Sanctum Catacombs and Crescent Grove now play the ambient music of their dungeon counterparts

These were made compatible to also play when its night!
Added tracks to zones that were originally mute.

• Crescent Road now plays the same music as Crescent Keep
• Luvora Garden now plays _mu_sailex during day and _mu_discover04 at night, more unused tracks from the files
• Gate of the Moon now plays _mu_beaver during day and _mu_discover05 at night, even more unused tracks from the files
• Executioner's Tomb now has a 50/50 chance to either play _mu_hell01 (OG) or _mu_hell02 (new). Arena music is available thanks to ModAudio!

Compatibility

This pack was designed for game version 112025.a4 using ModAudio V4.1.2 and does not locally contain any music. If any major changes were to be made such as to the map, how the game handles music, or the music files referenced, then this pack may suffer compatibility issues in the future.
