Technical information

This is a fork from original https://notabug.org/TenPlus1/ambience if still exits.

The main differences are:

• It provides the music wich is free to use, but honoring its author Dark Raven Music, who made it especially for minetest, check https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrJvUcP_dEqLSbODiWFv3gw
• It provides the documentation that is not present, important so that users can know what to do.
• It ensure backwards compatibility for older engines and versions, also reduces the media files size

For servers, this mod means your server can have a high traffic of media. Local there's no such problem due the local link.

Depends

• default
• fire (optional
• playerplus (optional)

Files

Music can be stored in the sounds folder either on server or locally (if client have the mod also) and so long as it is named 'ambience_music.1', 'ambience_music.2' etc. then it will select a song randomly at midnight and play player.

Original mod does not provide the music files, you must download from https://notabug.org/TenPlus1/ambience_music, this fork provides free CC-BY-SA music from Dark Reaven Music (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrJvUcP_dEqLSbODiWFv3gw).

These can be stored in ambience directory /sounds for all to share, or on a local client in .minetest/sounds for singleplayer custom music.

Order is very important when adding a sound set so it will play a certain set of sounds before any another.

It will overrides default water sounds, then will check for env_sounds mod, if not found enable water flowing and lava sounds, water sound plays when near flowing water.

Fire sounds will be detected if fire_redo/fire lite mod is detected and flame_sound setting is enabled.
