[Music mod] RIMM Reworked

Breathe new life into your submarine with playable instruments, note sheets, cassette tapes, and over 50 unlockable songs.
Forget the boring five second loops of the vanilla instruments, this is real music!

This mod greatly upgrades the vanilla music instruments (and adds some new ones) to play a much wider selection of better music, and it allows you to choose which music to play using a note sheet slot in every instrument. Note sheets can be found while playing. Can you collect all the songs?

Works in multiplayer. Works with the vanilla system of talents.

• A fresh selection of over 50 music tracks
  
• Pick which music to play from unlockable note sheets you can find while playing!
  
• Crisp and audible music quality thanks to an efficient compression algorithm
  
• A runtime loading system ensures the music won't increase your loading times or lag the game at all!
  
• New items matching the vanilla artstyle
  
• New Cassette Player (Radio), which plays music from cassettes even when dropped on the ground
  
• Note sheets for each instrument are distinguishable by colour. Same for each cassette tape.

• Harmonica (7 songs)
  
• Accordion (14 songs)
  
• Guitar (15 songs)
  
• Chorus Book (8 songs)
  
• Cassette Player (13 songs + 1 extra)

You can purchase or find music and instruments at Cities and Habitation outposts, or loot rare music from wrecks. Each outpost has only a limited selection of music available for purchase.

I'll try to fix any issues you post about in the comments.
New music requests are welcome.

This is a rework/improvement of the Reworked Instrumental Music Mod which itself is a rework of another mod.

The music is too loud / too quiet! Can I adjust the volume?

TLDR: No, due to game limitations.
Unfortunately you cannot adjust the volume of the songs. Due to limitations in Barotrauma's code, the music from this mod is actually classified as "sound effects" and therefore it cannot be adjusted separately from other sounds in the game. All the songs in the mod have normalised volume so they don't drown out the rest of the ingame sounds. There's nothing more I can do about this, sorry!

The music stays loud even when I'm on the other side of the sub! Can you fix this?

TLDR: No, due to game limitations.
That's unfortunately another limitation of Barotrauma's sound engine. Ingame sounds can either be Mono (one channel) or Stereo (two channels, one for each ear).
If a sound is in Mono, Barotrauma will process it with distance attentuation and spatial panning. The drawback? You will only ever hear the sound in one ear, depending on whether it's coming from your left or your right. I don't know about you, but I don't enjoy listening to loud music in one ear and submarine ambience in the other.
That's why all songs in RIMM Reworked are Stereo, which plays the song in both ears but also disables distance attentuation. There is no in-between, unfortunately.

Where do I get songs / music sheets?

You can buy them at city outposts (the big ones), or loot them from wrecks on missions. For the more unscrupulous crewmember, they can also be stolen from sleeping quarter drawers on all kinds of outposts :)

Can I add my own songs?

Of course! There is a wonderful guide on Github[github.com] by Garnet that will help you through making a custom addon for RIMM Reworked! If you make an addon, you can also share it here and I will add it to the official list of RIMM addons!
