Behavior Jukebox

This script automatically sums an unlimited number of music packs, dynamically selects the most appropriate mood according to player's stress level, engagement and weather and randomly plays its track.

This is a very powerful script/addon which can dynamically turn the silent Arma2 into a completely musical game.

Playlist building

Every music packs entered in arguments list are automatically summed and its tracks are assigned to its respective mood playlists.

Shoot detection

The player is influenced by two event handlers. When the player is "hit" his stress is set to 100%, and when he's "firedNear" his stress increases by 1.

Units Detection

When you spot enemies, their threat is proportional to how much you know about them. When the enemy sees you the stress level increases according to the sum of their threat level.

Defining mood by stress level

There are four moods:

1. "truce" for stress levels under 50% in clear day
   
2. "darkness" for stress levels under 50% in heavy weather or night
   
3. "tension" for stress level above 50%
   
4. "sadness" for death scenes
   

Selecting random track

Random track are dynamically selected according to mood players mood.

Playing music

Music will be played whenever the mood changes or the track ends.

Display

You can costumize which MoodJukebox data and music data are displayed.

Dynamic fading

Music volume dynamically drops as stress level approaches a change of mood.

Resume music

When game is paused or loaded, the last track is resumed from where it stopped.

Death scene

Death scene was altered in visual and it plays a random music in a special mood called "sadness".

Usage:

1. Unpack @MJB to your game installation folder
   
2. Copy "description.ext", "onPlayerKiller.sqf" and "scripts" folder from sample mission into your mission folder.
   
3. Place the following code in your mission init.sqf, where the arguments are the music packs.
   

   nul = ["arma2", "oa", "baf", "pmc", "your-pack"] execVM "scripts\MoodJukebox\main.sqf";

   
   

4. Activate @MJB modfolder in you shortcut parameters or in game main menu at "EXPANSIONS" option.
   

The display items can be customized in "scripts\MoodJukebox\display.sqf"

Warnings:

• Always use BAF or PMC in conjunction with other packs. BAF and PMC don't have all moods and may cause malfunction when used alone.
  
• Do not use this script with ACE as it keeps raising volume to 1 all the time.

It plays BIS music according to player's mood but it doesn't use folders cause I think it isn't even possible to play a track without its class bee declared in config.cpp.

Hello all. I released a major update. Now it's called MoodJukebox which brings several changes. Have a look at the first post.

Version 1.1 is released. I just did some calibration.

Is there a way to measure noise?

I'd like to put some detector that compensates nearby noises like engines.

How to change the death music in Arma2 ?

("Also there is a sample mission called "MoodJukebox.utes".)

Sorry for any inconvenience :o I forgot to include the sample mission in this release.

The second element in you arguments list is wrong. You can't specify track names in this script, only playlists.

The script path and name are wrong. Look in the first post for instructions.

What weird stuff? Specify it.
