I have taken advantage of @TheNamelessOne 's TOTPPv0.18.1 to create "Extended Music For TOTPP"
Note that this download is ~50MB, since it contains all the music that has shipped with any version of Civ II. Even if you don't want any of the extensions, this is an easy way to get the tracks required to enable the DirectShow music patch.
This addition provides the ability to create playlists out of files in the <Test of Time>\Music folder, as well as choose playlists and tracks from those playlists by using the 3rd option of the Pick Music Menu in a game. There is also a playlist that is automatically generated from all the files in that folder.
Note: Custom music for scenarios can now be handled directly from the Scenario's folder regardless of whether this addition is applied (though it will override this addition if used).
Original Post:
Here is the Custom Music Patch.
You can download it from the GitHub: https://github.com/ProfGarfield/CustomMusicForTOTPP
(Click the green "Clone or Download" button to download the files.)
This link should always be the current version.
The download is ~85 megabytes, since I included all the Civ II Music that I have (it makes installation instructions easier, too). If you have bandwidth limitations, post a response, and I'll make a smaller download and instructions.
Be sure to read the readme, including the warning that this patch is designed to overwrite files (I think this is a minimal danger, but it is there).
The Custom Music Patch has two main features:
1. User Playlists
A user can add files to Test of Time\Music and edit playlist.txt in order to have a larger variety of music. No events.lua file needed. Unfortunately, the names in Pick Music won't be changed.
2. Custom Music For Scenarios
A scenario creator can ship a custom playlist (changing pick music game.txt) and provide the music files for it.
Questions, comments, bug reports, etc. are all welcome.
