Is ingame music possible in plugins?

No, that would require an addition to the game engine, which can not be achieved through plugins.

The best you could do would be to run EVN in window mode and have iTunes or SoundJam or whatever you're using playing in the background.

Well, if you really wanted to do it, you could have a weapon who's sound was the music you wanted to play. Then fire the weapon and bingo - you'd have your music. But you'd have to re-fire every time you entered a new system or left a planet, and they'd be no music while landing, boarding a ship or checking the map.

Interesting idea simon, but its not to the effect I need. Oh well, I guess I'll just set up a list of songs to play while your playing nova in turn.

Yeah, my idea was more of a joke than anything.

I assume you know you can change the intro music pretty easily? It's almost certainly not what you want, but I figured I'd just make sure you knew about it.

Oh well, it was still an idea, and I just may have to try something like that in the end

What are you trying to do? I mean other then get music to play in the background?

Hey, planets can have sounds, iirc, so put the music in a snd resource, set it as the planets sound, and voila! you have music on a planet! it might work....

Ooh! I like the sound of that! It just may work! Simon, I'm doing nothing at all.

Make a cron that fires every day and activates the Play Sound ncb. Have the ncb point to a sound resource that contains a music track. Unforutnately the music would probably restart every time you jumped into a new system.

That isn't a bad idea. I came up with the same idea for putting some Borg voices onto a Borg cube, just to intimidate the player before a battle...but that died along with my virtual hard drive and my Star Trek: Override project, so I never was able to implement it.
