[RESOLVED][1.7.10] Background Music?

Alanzote · April 1, 2015

In forge is there a way to add Background Music? Like "Calm 1" sound in Minecraft?

Hi

Yes there is, have a look at vanilla MovingSoundMinecartRiding and/or RenderGlobal.playRecord().

You can play the sound using something like

ResourceLocation mySoundRes = new ResourceLocation("mymodid:mysound");

PositionedSoundRecord mySoundRes = PositionedSoundRecord.create(mySoundRes);

Minecraft.getMinecraft().getSoundHandler().playSound(mySoundRes);

put a sounds.json in

resources/assets/mymodid/

{

"mysound": {"category": "ambient", "sounds": ["mysoundfilename"]}

}

and your .ogg sound file in

resources/assets/mymodid/sounds

mysoundfilename.ogg

It's a bit fiddly to get right.... the console often gives you a relevant error message.

Ok, I got how to play the sound! It Works! Now I just need like a random event, you know, minecraft music random plays, something like that.

You can subscribe ClientTickEvent and play the background music randomly.

Can you give me a little example?

For learning how to handle events (this is worth learning as it is a powerful modding approach) I have a tutorial here: http://jabelarminecraft.blogspot.com/p/minecraft-forge-172-event-handling.html

For the random part, that is just Java. Always remember that in Minecraft modding that you can do anything that Java can do. For example, Java has the Random class: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/Random.html

Use the random class to generate a number, use an if statement to compare that number to some chance, and if the chance happens play the sound.

Note that the client tick handler is fired 20 times per second. So if you want 6 minutes on average between playing the sound, you need the chance to play to be less than 1/3600.

I am getting an Error in My Event Class:
