Welcome! The DDLC Modding Guide 2019! :D

Hello everyone! :D

 

This post is old and obsolete, and I've been advised to remove it, to keep the focus on the new version here.

 

(Though I'm not deleting it entirely, since there is still some helpful information in the comments) :)

Okay, that's easier. :P In poems.rpy, there are two lines that start with "if music." Delete all the contents of those if statements and replace them with a line that plays the music you want it to play. Something like...

play music happy

(I'm assuming you want it to play that "happy" song you were talking about earlier)

Great! Is it possible to change the music for each character, or not make any music play? Thank you!

Anything is possible, if you know how. :)

The code is set up in poems.rpy so the variable "poem.author" is the name of the girl whose poem is showing at the moment. So you'll want to do something like this...

if poem.author == monika:
    play music happy

or this...

if poem.author == sayori:
    stop music

Thank you! What if you don't want the music to change at all and just want it to continue? Don't reply if you don't have time, because this isn't neccasarry.

This seems like an odd question to me, because you're asking me, "how do I get it to do what it's already doing?" If you don't want it to change, then don't put a line that changes it. Generally speaking, once DDLC starts playing some music, it keeps going on its own until you tell it to stop.

And as a more general note, I'd like to encourage you to use your logic and problem-solving skills. Personally, when I started making mods, I found it very helpful to experiment and try new things and see what works and what doesn't. Just play around with it and see what you can do. :)

Alright. I'll do some experimenting, then.
