I tested this on openmw 46.000 it works just takes forever to load.... You can also change the music that is played I think it plays up to 8 or 9 minute long songs tried a 10 minute one but it wouldn't play
Very interesting. For those who want just one music box instead of 8? Are there any other differences from the other music box mod?
Funny, I had just come across On the move - the Ashlander Tent Deluxe remod and was debating whether to get it or the original Ashlander tent mod which you mentioned in your description. So many choices now! What to do? It's nice to have the portable music box.. Thanks for the mod!
Your welcome! Well, it's only 1 music box that play 8 songs. Another difference between my mod and Xiomara's mod, it's that in my mod you drop the music box in the Morrowind's world and the song will play from there (positional sound, it will be dimmer the farther the player is away from it). In Xiomara's mod you need to drag the music box to your picture in the inventary and then the music will play along with you (no positional sound, music play at your position) (Excuse my English, I hope to be clear)
You are welcome pal! Well, to use positional sound in morrowind, you need to register the audio files in the TES Construction Set, but it only accepts .wav files. In OpenMW you can do the trick of changing the extension from .mp3 to .wav, and it works. But in Morrowind vanilla they are not accepted. That's why I had to convert the .mp3 to .wav actually.
Ahh, ties into the positional audio. Gottcha. Love learning more about the game. Appreciate it. Thanks again for the mod! Will have to try openmw someday.. Hope you intend on putting more mods out for this game. We need more good active modders. Cheers.
I'll have to check it out in the vanilla version of morrowind, next Monday... Just to confirm with you, did you unzip the sounds folder in Morrowind's "Data Files" folder? Could you check it out, please?
I just did. I installed it according to your file structure so ...Morrowind/Data Files/Sound/PMB . Music is also playing when I open files with media player.
The problem might steam from my mod list if others don't see any problems. I have fairly large number of common mods installed, but the only ones that affect item activation might be Poison Crafting (https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/45729), Ashfall (https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/49057), MWSE Containers (https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/44387) or Smart Helmet (https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/46753). Apart form that I have the usual MCP and Patch for Purists.
I have no sound mods installed apart from Kirel's Interior Weather (https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/49278) and I tried to start the music in outdoor cell :)
Thanks. The problem maybe is that openwm can play MP3 with the instruction "playsound3d" (with renamed .wav extension), but vanilla morrowind can't ... I need to convert MP3 files to wav files ...I will do it on Monday.
Hi, I can confirm that latest update make music audible.
One suggestion: I think it is possible to stop game music, when you play sounds. Ie. Animated Morrowind does it when you approach someone playing on instrument - the music stops and you hear only localized audio.
HOW DID YOU READ MY MIND I started playing (more like modding) Morrowind again yesterday and like 7 years ago or so I made a mod (a Dagoth themed music box with a creepy melody for roleplay purposes) just like this for myself, also based on Xiamaras which I don't have anymore (because my harddrives got formated).... AND NOW I SEE YOURS HERE I am so gonna use that! It looks lovely, very nice textures, thank you! This is LITERALLY just what I was missing in my game.
You're welcome!Hope this mod works for you, I did not convert MP3 files to wav, I just renamed them, but it works in openwm. I need to convert the files to real wav next Monday ...

However, I am not playing openmw and the music box is not playing any songs. The menu appears, but after selecting the song - no music is playing.
