<h2>ABNORMAL202 AMBIENT MUSIC SYSTEM</h2>


<h3>DESCRIPTION</h3>

So I was looking through the files of my new map, Afterbirth, to see what I could release to the public and I found my ambient music system. I beefed it up and added more options for the public, and so now I'm releasing it.

This system essentially creates a shuffled order of songs (2D sound aliases) and plays them for all players to hear. it comes with triggers that when pressed will stop/start the ambient music so players can turn it on/off at will. It also has the option to print the song's name in the top-left corner when it starts playing.

Note if you are looking to play non-2D aliases for things such as sound effects, you may want to try NSZ's Ambient Sounds Tutorial.

Personally I think adding the right music to a map can make a huge difference in the atmosphere and mood of the map, and help players really feel something when playing.

<h3>HOW TO INSTALL</h3>


Instructions are included in the download but here they are here as well:

hello, i love the mod but i have run into a problem. i have set up the songs perfectly and the "now playing:" shows the correct titles but no audio is heard! very frustrating after the alias work i did, any suggestions?

ive been testing for hours trying to fix it and have leanered that my alias files are messed up, even though i am using an edited version of a sound alias that worked in the past, i just changed the alias name and the file path.
and i also have an error about parsing in my zone file.
