Music

Follow the following steps to ensure everything is right:

• Is the tune a replacement or an addition? If a replacement please claim the tune in the thread listed above.
• If the tune is a cover or an alternative tune make sure to edit openrct2.music.alternative.json or openrct2.music.cover.json respectively. Use the other listings in that file as a base. Please check the code on JSONlint to see if the code is valid. Beware: JSON is stingy about comma's.
• If the tune is an alternative or additional tune please include an object.json file and fill out the code template listed below.

Tip: You can create custom music files on GOES

Code template for object.json:

{
    "id": "openrct2.music.<style>",
    "sourceGame":"official",
    "authors": [
        "<Full Name>"
    ],
    "version": "1.0",
    "objectType": "music",
    "properties": {
        "tracks": [
            {
                "source": "music/0.flac",
                "name": "<Song Name>",
                "composer": "<Artist name>"
            }
        ]
    },
    "strings": {
        "name": {
            "en-GB": "<Style> style"
        }
    }
}

Replace the following:
<style> with the name of the style.
<Full Name> with your full name, add multiple if more people.
<Artist Name - Song Name> with the artist name and songname seperated by a dash.

Creating a new OpenMusic release

• Update openrct2.proj: OpenMSXUrl & OpenMSXSha1.

With new additions also update the following:

• Update distribution/changelog.txt.
• Add song id to src/openrct2/object/DefaultObjects.cpp (Can be found under const std::string_view DefaultSelectedObjects[]).
• Update extern const std::string_view DefaultSelectedObjects[number]; in src/openrct2/object/DefaultObjects.h.
• Add song id to src/openrct2/rct12/RCT12.cpp (Can be found under static constexpr std::string_view _musicStyles[]).
