Title: Music folder
Post by: Forez on July 28, 2017, 02:23:05 pm
It's great that there are all those various versions of the X-COM score out there and that OpenXcom allows for importing them to data\SOUND folder


But what if instead of searching for a file named GMGEO1, the game would search first for a folder named in a such way? And then took randomly whatever was in that folder and simply play it?

That way the player could listen to different versions of the same track

Just rename the other tracks GMGEO2, GMGEO3, GMGEO4, etc.
The game will pick one randomly.

And it is possible to use for example GMTACTIC99?

Still, a folder would be better because you can copy to it your various non-UFO tracks


And it would be a big wish that the game would have an option or reading the tag fields and displaying them for a selected amount of time [so that the player would know what was randomly choosen]; or at least the name of the files [which could be re-named by the player accordingly like for example >>X-COM II Geoscape #6<<]. By I know that is a long shot because such display would have to be available on many screens [base, geo, ufopedia etc.]

Yes.
