This will allow you to play your own sound scheme for in-game music, including background music for zones as well as combat and mount music. Custom themes can be added to allow for unlimited variations, just get your music in the theme folder and write up the theme data file. Currently the only theme available is based on Final Fantasy 7.
== Features ==
Play custom music for:
Battlegrounds
Cities
Outdoor Zones
Mounted
Swimming
Combat Music
Ghost
Death
Taxi
Resting
== Usage ==
Slash Commands:
/musictheme or /music to open the config window
You will also need to get the Final Fantasy 7 Theme (lua only) patch above and have it installed first. Then extract the songs into your Interface\AddOns\MusicTheme\ThemeData\FinalFantsy7\Sounds folder.
If you already have the songs from a previous download then you just need to update the theme file by getting the FinalFantasy7Theme(lua only) patch above.

Add support for multi-song theme elements

Battleground music does not trigger after rezzing in battlegrouns

Id like to get a more stable, feature full version posted before I start working on new themes. However, you are more than welcome to create one and host it as a plugin for MusicTheme.
Originally posted by Malqui I have come accross this issue as well. is there a fix for it?
and have you given thought to other RPG themes becides FF7? like maybe Xenogears (not xenosaga)?
That is a bug, it will be fixed in the next release.

Work has been progressing with the new model. Ive got several new features as well as improved old ones.
3.0.0 Features:
Enhanced GUI (new look)
Support for editing during gameplay
Support for multiple songs per event
I have finished most of the "Backgrounds" section and laid the ground work for all the other sections. Things should go faster now that I have all the XML typed up.
Just a heads up, now back to work

Zone specific music, yes its possible to code that. Now that I think about it, that doesnt sound too hard to do. Ill try to get that in with the next bug fix release.

Ive been wanting to add specific music for all instances anyway, that wont be too difficult. But about the "inside" music. The API only sees two states (inside and outside) and it will not return differently if its a house or a cave. Id rather not add that sort of thing, sorry.

The theme file needs to have all the elements presant, but you can leave them blank (i.e. RestSong = "").
I haven't tested this but I'm pretty sure it will work.
You should also turn off all other triggers on the ingame options screen.

I will be attempting to add sub-tables to each sound element to allow for overall randomness. Users will be able to create themes that have several songs for any one element and the addon will randomly select one to play when that event is triggered. This will change the way themes are coded, but should allow for some really interesting effects.
