Quick question:

Where is the list of music files stored? Is it a single file (ideally text file) somewhere?

That would be the absolute most ideal thing for me... so once I've used Tings to build this music pack, I can distribute it to anyone running Tings and they can use it too.

\Tings\Dat\PlayList.Dat

You can open in note pad and change filename. First part is 4 digit hex landblock id.

5145|C:\Install\ACDecal\Tings\Music\trickle1.wav


Although you could share your playlist.dat file this would not mean it would on someone else system
as the would not have the .wav/.mp3 files.


I have newer version of Tings on web site now. I corrected an error with maintaining PlayList.dat.

Yeah, when I release it to people it'd presumably be a package deal.. a .ZIP file with the hundreds of MP3s, that you unzip to a certain directory, and then the .DAT file that you put in your Tings directory.


Final question, for anyone who knows: Is there a map somewhere of the over-world landblocks? Basically, if I want to give most of the Inner Sea desert the same song, ideally I'd do that by just editing the .DAT file to add all 100 desert landblocks at once, or what have you... wondering if someone has a map out there of the game's above-ground landblocks to make that easy, or if perhaps they follow some sort of set pattern?

how about if flipo put in a default annoying mp3, so when you enter a different landblock that doesn't have a song associated with it, it plays that mp3? Of course, this would have to be configurable because not everyone would want the annoying mp3 to play all the time.

You can find really good fight and flight music that is in the public domain, so would be no need to worry about copyrighted material.

I suggest you start there.

Royalty free music still means you have to buy the music... it just means you're free to use it without paying royalties after you've bought it.

I'm planning to distribute a .torrent file entirely separate from anything MrFlipo or Turbine is hosting, it won't be an issue.
