0.10.12 - Dungeon Soundtrack does not change when entering another dungeon [RESOLVED 0.10.14]

[The Holy Knight]

What I mean is that the first dungeon you enter the music for that dungeon is what you will hear in every other dungeon. I thought it was the Vanilla music Mod doing this but ive updated my game to 0.10.12 without the mod and the problem persists even then. The soundtrack of the first dungeon I enter when starting the game up will play in any other dungeon I go to next.

Thanks for the bug report, I can reproduce it indeed.

Technical details: Intering, Exterior and Dungeon hierarchies have their own SongPlayer, each with their own SongManager component.
SongManagers detect changes in music context, when they happen select the adequate playlist, and when the playlist changes, pick a new song in the new playlist.
Problem is, dungeons only have one playlist, so the SongManager of dungeons only picks a song once.

[The Holy Knight]

Is that patchable? or does it have to do with the Unity engine itself?

[pango]

Those are Daggerfall Unity components, so this is something we have to fix.
I'm not sure what's the best way to go though, so above technical description was a hidden call for advice from other developers...

At first glance it looks like SongManager class was not designed to have several instances, on the other hand players have come to like "music continuity" (say you enter then exit a dungeon and the music hasn't changed), which I now interpret as a side-effect of having several SongManagers around...

[The Holy Knight]

Alright I understand and thanks for the help

Dungeon music selection matches classic, as implemented by Allofich. Index in playlist is selected using a seed value in the dungeon header and bit-shifted region index. See line 294 of SongManager.cs for details. This also means dungeon music is fully deterministic - each dungeon has its own soundtrack.

I just visited three different dungeons (Privateer's Hold, Orsinium, and a random cemetery) and they all had the correct (and all different) song assigned. As far as I can see, this is working perfectly.

i don't know whats going on then. Pango said he is experiencing it as well. I did what i stated above and even switched saves in a Crypt then to a fortress and then to Privateers Hold and they all kept the soundtrack that played when i first entered the Crypt. i then restarted the game and loaded Privateers Hold and the soundtrack was the right one for it. I loaded my Crypt save and the soundtrack was still playing the Privateers Hold track instead of the Crypt Track from earlier

During the same session? Because I can reproduce it with 0.10.12, with no mods;

(no change of playlist detected, so not selecting a different song)

[Interkarma]

Thanks, I've been able to reproduce by switching saves inside two different dungeons.

Fix required in the dungeon song manager to update track selection when loading a dungeon save or entering a dungeon after playlist already set. Rather than using playlist change to detect this, events could also trigger a song index update. Thank you both, I'll move to bug reports.
