music.ron

Music by mood. Read by the game client only: a change here changes how it looks or sounds, never how it plays.

File: assets/data/music.ron

About this file

What the client plays as music (#78; crates/client/src/music.rs). Files are relative to assets/audio/, OGG Vorbis only (Bevy has no WAV decoder here); a mood with no files is silent, so the game is quiet until the tracks exist. Each mood picks one of its files at random, not the same one twice running.

  volume     the mood's level, 0..2 (the top-level `volume` is all the music's, under the master)
  gap        Day and Night: seconds of silence after a track before the next, picked in (min, max)
  fade_in    seconds to come in
  fade_out   seconds to go when the mood changes

When: Death once when you die; Danger (looped) while zombies are on you (one attacking within 6 m, or three coming within 12 m, and 8 s after); Dawn once as the night turns to day; else Night or Day by the daylight. The town is meant to feel empty: most of the time nothing plays.
