📋 About This Mod
I don't recommend to use this mod any longer! Try out S3maphore. I use it myself and it should have all the necessary features to replace this mod
.
Details:
This framework provides the ability to add custom ambient music to the game that should play in specific situations.
The project is currently in beta status.
The framework itself won't give you any new ambient music. You'll need additional mods.
You can use Dynamic Music - Daggerfall Guild Themes which will bring you the OG Daggerfall guild themes in every building of the Mage's and Fighter's guild.
The framework provides limited built in support for the following MUSE music mods.
Install one or more of them in the usual way and it should work automatically.

Installation:
You need the latest OpenMW development build!
I recommend ModOrganizer2 and Kezyma's OpenMW Player to install the mod.
Otherwise extract the content of the zip file into the Data Files directory inside your Morrowind installation folder.
Mod Organizer 2 might show a warning during installation. As long as the scripts folder and the DynamicMusic.omwscripts file is placed in the data files directory everthing should be fine.
Don't forget to check that "DynamicMusic.omwscripts" is enabled in your OpenMW Launcher
Adding your own music:
You can already add your own tracks by adding a custom soundbank.
Soundbank definitions can be found in "scripts\DynamicMusic\soundbanks"
See the readme for further details.
Readme:
https://github.com/eMOElein/DynamicMusic/blob/master/README.mdKnown limitations:
- There are currently no engineHandlers to detect if the game is currently in "combat mode" so the script has to monitor the combat state of every
active actor separately. This might cause performance impacts if there is a large number of active actors (npcs/creatures) at once
