This is a very basic Next Gen mod that changes the pool of music tracks from which street and tavern musicians' in-game music is randomly pulled when Geralt is within earshot.

Street musicians and tavern musicians will each play a different selection, but every bard group on the Continent is working from the same set lists.

### PLAYLISTS ###
All tracks in English if you download the English version. Tracks marked with (P) are in Polish if you download the Polish version.

Outdoor troubadours will play from a random selection of Jaskier's more upbeat tunes:
1) Toss a Coin to Your Witcher (P)
2) Her Sweet Kiss
3) Song of the Seven
4) Whoreson Prison Blues
5) The Golden One
6) The Ride of the Witcher
The Polish version also has:
7) The Fishmonger's Daughter (P)

Indoor entertainers will play a random selection from a more subdued, downtempo collection:
1) Jaskier's "Enchanted Flowers"
2) Jaskier's "Extraordinary Things"
3) Priscilla's "Wolven Storm"
4) Jaskier's "Burn Butcher Burn" (P)

### INSTALLATION ###

1. Install using The Witcher 3 Mod Manager or unzip manually into your TheWitcher3/Mods folder.

### VOLUME ###

The music that emits from bard groups is controlled by the "Effect" slider when looking at your in-game volume settings.

### POTENTIAL CONFLICTS ###

Makes changes to: 
music_em_bard_groups.bnk, bard_music_emitter_interior.w2ent, bard_music_emitter_exterior.w2ent, bard_music_emitter_exterior_far.w2ent, bard_music_emitter_exterior_loud_dig.w2ent, and bard_music_emitter_exterior_mandragora.w2ent 

Needs to win any non-mergeable conflicts by having a higher priority (lower number) in order to work.

### LIMITATIONS ###

1) THIS DOES NOT ALTER ANY CHARACTER VISUAL MODELS IN ANY WAY! At times you will indeed have a 5-piece band playing Priscilla's "Wolven Storm" solo. My PC can barely handle the graphic editor part of RedKIT, so it's unlikely I'll ever expand the mod to include visual changes, but I'd welcome collaboration with someone who wanted to make a complementary mod that I could link from or bundle with mine according to your preference.

2) Musicians sometimes say random voiced lines to Geralt when he draws close to them. Not a big deal when they're playing cheerful instrumental pieces, but doesn't land so well in the middle of Enchanted Flowers. Similarly, there seems to be another music emitter inside the Rosemary & Thyme that competes with the indoor set list a bit too much. I can probably figure out a way to silence this extra noise in a future version 1.1.

3) Since some of the files changed are used on DLC maps, you probably need to have the Complete edition of the game for this to work, though I haven't confirmed that with someone who only has the base game. If the mod gets enough interest I'll most likely make a "Lite" version pretty soon for people who only have the base game.

### NOT WORKING? ###

This is my first-ever mod, and I've only tested it on my own computer, so if the mod isn't working for you, please GENTLY let me know in the Forum tab's Technical issues topic and I'll try to figure out what went wrong.

I assume this mod will not work in Classic, since audio mods from Classic no longer work in Next Gen, but I don't know for sure either way. I will not be creating a Classic version for the simple reason that I don't play that version.
