[mod] Background Music [0.2] [bgm]

[timnxx20]

Adds randomly selected and timed background music.

I've included some (imho) suitably ambient music but it is configurable, as are the probability and interval between tracks. The code is commented with instructions for changing the music. Other settings can be changed from the Minetest advanced settings menu.

I know it's been done before but this is my first mod and I've never used Lua before so feedback is welcome.

Code checks out! I’ve been meaning to write a mod like this, so I will definitely try this out.

Oho, is there already other music mod?? This has already been third by count! I`ll test it with enjoying!

[timnxx20]

Thanks for looking at my mod, I've made a few changes and fixed a couple of things. I'd be grateful to hear how it worked out. Also, if there is anything you think should be added/changed I would be interested in some feedback.

It’s serene to play during this music. Unfortunately I’m in dev mode so it’s a lot of restarts which breaks inmersion xD

Youtube claims this music!!!! I've made a Minetest video with this music playing. It is CC.

Why???

Nooo :-(

[runs]

I know it already, CC is for no commercial use. THIS IS WHY CC SHOULD BE PROHIBITED IN MINETEST!!!

:-(

In http://soundimage.org/ there is a lot of GPL Music, hahaha.

Minetest should use them.

NC licenses are non-free licenses and should not be used under any circumstances.

Suggestion: support for a different music set playing at night like the old ambience mod

Edit: since that feature was not mentioned in the OP did not know it was already there, but checked and it is, so nevermind
