I think it's possible and I am actively looking into it but the environment sfx the game uses for each planet type is used across all fronts so replacing one track would replace it across every faction. The way the original mod did it was by replacing every single bot track, including combat music.
EDIT: Just uploaded a file which replaces all automaton tracks if you would like.
Because each archive for each planet type is different and a lot of them include sfx that don't seem to be directly tied with ambience. It would also totally kill the sfx that play during weather events such as sandstorms an blizzards.
Hmm I see. Is there any way to just replace ALL possible music tracks that play on the ground with the WW2 ambience. Everything from dropping in to arriving back on the ship? That would in theory great a universal mod compatible on all fronts? (I know nothing of modding)
I'm just not a fan of any music playing while I play but I DO really enjoy the ambience this mod provides
Do you mean you want it to play whilst on the Super Destroying and dropping in? It's totally viable, I'd just need to find the IDs to edit. Probably won't do this myself but I can provide all relevant information to do so if you really want.
I'm thinking more From the moment I land to the Moment I blast off in the shuttle. So no music at all Drop in music is fine I suppose but I Don't really like playing with music. So being fully immersed in the war front with this ambience only to have the extract music start blaring is a little bit disheartening. But also this way. You could replace all music tracks and combat tracks that play while in a mission and have one universal WW2 Ambience mod that always functions an all fronts. If it replaces all tracks it solves the problem of it only playing sometimes as well.
Although this solution is not perfect for everyone because it requires sacrificing all in game music which some people wouldn't like but for those of us who don't play with music it would be great while you work on figuring it out for our music enjoyers. Sorry if none of this makes sense. Like I said I don't really know how the mod works. I'm working off what you've said in comments and your description.
Hey this rocks, is there any chance at all you could do something similiar for the bug and illuminate? i almost exclusively play music outside the game now (lvl 100, just over the og ost except the dive music and the extraction music lol) and would really like to have music replacers for the other factions so I can just have immersive ambience be the in game music. To pair with my own music. Cheers either way though! Thanks for this .
Hey, glad you are enjoying the mod. I am considering implementing similar ambience for bugs and illuminates but haven't laid any of the groundwork for it quite yet.
yoo thanks for the vid homie, I have another question would this work with the mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/helldivers2/mods/934 Better bot artillery.
There is little difference in the tracks but rather in what is being offered. His version replaces every single track, meaning you wouldn’t hear any other track except for the war ones. I offer a version that replaces only calm/ambient tracks so you can still have the best of both worlds. Regarding the video, I have yet to record my own and due to request of having a video I just opted for his for the time being, it will be replaced. Furthermore, his mod is out of date and doesn’t work with the latest patch of the game.
