Automatic Battle Music

[Not Kuno]

Ok there seriously needs to be an option to turn this off. I'm sure it's great if you're a lazy fuck in exp pts but this is seriously gay in places like salvage or if you have to kite stuff around and hearing the music turn on/off alot. I really like the salvage music and having to hear the gay ass generic fight music turn on and off is annoying as hell.

1. Create your very first character in San d'Oria.
2. Turn off FFXI's music.

I looked for the bagpipe players for a long time, but SE wisely keeps them well hidden.

I agree with this. As a mage, I didn't want to hear the fighting music, as a melee, I turn off the battle music because it's too boring. I'd rather listen to the zone's music, but now I listen to the winamp (cept for the 3 strongholds, new music I haven't heard yet).

It has its moments. There's nothing like hearing the battle music and seeing a friend run by you with the whole zone on them. It can get annoying though.

[Aksannyi]

It's annoying to me, as well. While it's nice in sea while waiting for an aern to reraise, it got old pretty quickly. I would love an option to turn automatic battle music off.

Failing that, I'd just have to turn it off and listen to the music in Altana Viewer lawl.

[Tekki]

havent listened to XI music for years now. I listened to it breifly when WOTG came out... then went back to dl.fm

[Lexa]

I occasionally turn on FFXI music just to hear new areas, but I haven't had it on for more than 3 minutes at a time since I was a subjobless level 15 or so.

[Cyn]

DI.fm is key.

[Kaisha]

Needs two options :

1) Use old music system.

2) Have music playback from where it last stopped. (this would make quick kills a lot less annoying)

Otherwise, sticking to good ol' music off + WinAMP combo.

Davoi [S] music is pretty cool sounding I think.

What's the range on the battle music like, btw?

30oish distance?

[Lordwafik]

40 on the dot, testing it while helix soloing T scorps in meriphataud mountains (either those things have no HP, or Anemohelix rapes their faces).


A question : think it'd be possible to make a windower plugin to prevent music from changing?

[aceofspades]

use the windower plugin to chnage it to play any music in the game.....

[Aemora]

It has its Merits.

For Exp play, I think it's pretty good. With 40" distance, there's no longer the need for annoying <call> in pulling macros, the music will automatically change. I kinda like this, because between pulls I browse the internet, so when the battle music starts, I change windows.

However yes, in events, like Salvage tonight, wanna just kill faces with the Auto-battlemusic :<

<3 Salvage music.

[Auspice]

I can't believe you people are hating on Sandy's music! I got into a pretty epic(fail) argument with a friend about it today. I swear I'm the ONLY one who likes it. It's kinda sad that I'm more patriotic for the nation my character in XI is from than the real nation I live in, I even bought the damn ring from the SE shop.

:sandy: for life, etc

[bigrougabagel]

i agree that there needs to be an option for the automatic battle music. Its kind of nice for that pt where youre half ass paying attention. Or if some turd casts diaga because "omg it was totally on accident >< guys sry"... side note: why does anyone have diaga macro'd? In general the auto battle music is annoying. Most battle music sucks, and I enjoy the ambient background muzak, why cant i have that? Ill tell you why, the white man thats why... dammit.

[Lordwafik]

More testing! Unclaimed (agressive to your party) don't get battle music , only claimed ones. So you can't tell if your party got aggro or something.

[Metah]

I like battle music :3

Seconded whenever I happen to be on a mage job. Now I have to play it from the OSTs on my laptop next to me if I want to hear the zone's music.
