7 Days to Die Mod - Custom Music



Custom Music: Easily replace the in-game dynamic music with your own tracks. Supported formats include mp3, wav, flac, and aiff.
EAC: This mod uses custom code that is not compatible with Easy Anti-Cheat.



Installation Instructions
  • Game Version: 1.2
  • Mod Manager: Install using Vortex for easy management.
  • Custom Music: Place your music tracks in the {your_mod_path}/AmbientTracks folder.
  • Need Help?: Check the User Resources section below for more details.

Features
  • Overrides music for all game scenarios:
    • Exploration, Suspense, Combat, Bloodmoon, HomeDay, HomeNight, and Trader interactions (TraderBob, TraderHugh, TraderJen, TraderJoel, TraderRekt).
  • Music continues when the game is paused:
    • The music does NOT pause when you pause the game.
  • Supports volume control:
    • Automatically adjusts the volume of each track by matching its loudest point (max decibels) to the game's dynamic music volume level.
  • Ambient sounds remain unaffected:
    • Ambient sounds, like crickets, are NOT overridden.
  • Includes two free tracks:
    • Both are Creative Commons licensed. See the Credits section for more info.
    • YouTube Showcase
    • The included tracks are in mp3 and wav formats.
  • Supported file formats:
    • mp3, wav, flac, and aiff.
  • Randomized track playback:
    • No two tracks play in the same order during a game session.

User Resources
  • To add custom tracks to your game, you can use youtube-dl, yt-dlp/yt-dlp, a command-line program that allows you to download videos from YouTube.com and other video sites in mp3 format. This tool is legal to use for non-infringing purposes, such as downloading & converting public domain music or tracks you have purchased the rights to.
  • I recommend adding music that isn't intense; although for the average player this is not an issue, for players like me who play multiple hours per day, playing consistent intense music quickly becomes tiring/annoying. I have found that ambient music similar to the style of Red Dead Redemption 2's soundtrack provides a more relaxing experience.
    • You might want to explore tracks from the RDR2 ambient music playlist. These tracks provide lots of breathing room and can be listened to for hundreds of hours without causing listener fatigue.
  • I also recommend using this mod together with Phantom Silence mod, or any other that disable the creep ambient noises during nighttime and day-night transition cues.

Backlog
  • Apply fade in/out effects when changing tracks.
  • Daily Time Allotted; currently this mod plays music constantly. Not a big issue when having lots of music tracks. Regardless, I still want this feature to replicate the RDR2 behaviour/default game behaviour; having that quite in between music tracks adds to the atmosphere, gives a bit of breathing room for the next music track.
  • Long tracks; if the track to be played is longer than 7 minutes have the music player play from a random location instead from the start.
  • Although I'm against combat music, when listening to legendary Doom music while in combat I can't deny it's worth it. Note to myself: try to make it non-immersion breaking by changing when it stops; e.g. delay stopping the music after killing the last enemy by a few random seconds; in order to not give a queue to the player that no remaining enemies are left.
  • Break this to two mods. The music player, and another mod which contains a wider list of music tracks that can be freely used with Creative Commons License.
