Jukebox mod
« on: December 14, 2007, 09:55:06 pm »
Download Jukebox v1.4



Description

This mod allows you to browse through and listen to the songs from the game's main content. "Prev" and "Next" cycle through the list of songs, "Rand" goes to a randomly chosen song, and "Exit" returns you to the title screen.

Ideas for Future Versions
  • Karaoke mode: Enable opening the note wheel so Naija can sing along. Not sure if this is possible without completely rewiring the current control scheme.
  • Screen saver mode: After some idle time, do one or more of the following: 1) Fade out the logo and buttons. 2) Change the scene to fit the song.

Change Log

v1.4 (2007-12-15)
  • Added fully working gamepad navigation.
  • Made Naija sit on the throne.
  • Added seal on throne.
  • Added some sparkle to make the scene less static.
  • Initial song is now chosen randomly.

v1.3 (2007-12-14)
  • New graphics and some polishing by Derek. Woohoo!

v1.1 (2007-12-14)
  • Cleaned up left-overs from title-test.
  • Added "Random" button.

v1.0 (2007-12-14)
  • First rough version based on title-test by Alec.

It would be great if someone decided to spice this up with better fitting graphics. ;)
Already asked you in the chat. I'm on it :p

Cool mod!  Let me know if you need any help with the graphics, Don. :)

Here's a quick idea for a better visual theme:

Uploaded a second version with cleaned up scripts and some custom graphics (including a mod icon). Some tile and node names have been changed. For Don Andy and anyone else who might have had a go at creating custom graphics, here is the list of changes:

graphics:
  • title.png -> jukebox.png
  • title-newgame.png -> jukebox-previous.png
  • title-continue.png -> jukebox-next.png
  • title-exit.png -> jukebox-exit.png

nodes:
  • title -> jukebox
  • title-newgame -> jukebox-previous
  • title-continue -> jukebox-next
  • title-quit -> jukebox-quit

There is also a new button (node jukebox-random) that changes to a randomly chosen different song. There is no button graphic for that one, so it is a bit hidden. ;) Gamepad navigation does not work quite right yet.

Still hoping that Don Andy finishes his revised graphics. :)

Here, DC - I added some new buttons for you and did a little tweaking (the Previous button wasn't working, for example!).  Hope it looks alright to you!

Once again, great job! ;)

Very cool idea.  I've left Aquaria running just to listen to the music, and now it's just that much easier :)

Feel free to use this userbar at other forums, and show your support for Aquaria :)

I'd have it set on the rockin' theme from the Body.  Constantly.

Uploaded a new version (1.4). Most importantly, gamepad navigation is now fully working. Please see first post for the full change log and the download link.

Derek: Much appreciated, thanks!

The_Goldfish: You could make a challenge to find the location/scene where each song is played in the game. Superflyremix, anyone? ;)

I like this mod as an idea, but how can I get the game to run in the background while I do other stuff? If I alt+tab out the music stops  :'(

We need the OST  >:(

Hmm, quick question, (Haven't downloaded this mod yet, am at work) Does the thing display the names of the track playing? Could probably pop it up as some Helptext when you change the track

If it already does, ignore me. :p It'd be handy for people wanting to hear the main tracks before they put 'em in their mods

It does. See the screenshot in the first post.
