📋 About This Mod

--- ATTENTION ---

The Subnautica Living Large update - also referred to as the Subnautica 2. 0 update or Modpocalypse update - has been released.

This update adds many cool new things to the game, but it also breaks the vast majority of mods, including QMM itself.

At the moment, my main focus is updating my most popular mod - SnapBuilder - for the update. I expect to have it released within the next 48 hours if not sooner.

After that, I will be going through each of my mods and assessing how viable they are in Subnautica 2. 0, and how much time it will take to release an updated version.

In the meantime, if you play on Steam, you can continue playing Subnautica with all of your QMM mods by switching to the legacy branch - i.e. downgrading your Subnautica to the last version which QMM still worked for. You can find the option to switch to the legacy branch under the Betas section of the game Properties in your Steam Library.

NOTE:

This is

not

a Jukebox mod!

I am planning to work on an in-game Jukebox mod similar to the one in Below Zero, but this is not that!

When and if it happens, it will be released independently from this mod (I'll link to it here when it's available).

Tired of the in-game ambient music? Look no further!

Features

  • []Fully customisable - all keybinds and behaviours can be tweaked in the Mod options menu!

    []Compatible with MP3, WAV, WAVE and Ogg Vorbis audio!

    []Control playback with your multimedia keys! If you don't have multimedia keys, you can bind standard keys in the options menu.

    []If you have the OST (Original Sound Track) downloaded and installed in the Subnautica\OST directory, the OST will also be played alongside your custom tracks! You can turn it off in the options menu if you prefer.

    []Custom music will be loaded from the CustomTunes\Music folder at runtime, and can even be dropped into the Music folder while the game is running - the tracks will be loaded and added to the playlist without having to relaunch the game!

    []Compatible with VersionChecker. Never miss an update!

    Easy install

    • []Install QModManager, SMLHelper (Modding Helper) and (optionally) VersionChecker

      []Place the CustomTunes folder in your QMods folder

      []Put your music in the CustomTunes\Music folder
