Soundtrack changes?
Hi,

How difficult would it be to make it so that the soundtrack system works differently? So that you can list a few music tracks for each event ( arrival, ambience, death, battle and etc. ) in the table entry and the game chooses the tracks randomly from the list.

For example, if I list 3 ambience tracks, 4 battle, 1 friendly arrival, 2 enemy arrival tracks and so on, the game chooses one track randomly for each event ( like if an enemy ship arrives, it plays one of the 2 specified tracks, or if a friendly ship arrives it loads the only specified track; if one track ends during the current event, the game randomly chooses another track specified for that event, so if one of the battle tracks is finished playing but the battle is still going on, the game plays another battle track from that list ). That way you also might not need to list the 2 additional numbers in the soundtrack entry, I hope.

In my opinion it'd be useful for some non-FS universe mods and other total conversion, and for me as well. So, can it be done?

Re: Soundtrack changes?
Well the SCP added additional entries to music.tbl, so having additional entries for a soundtrack type doesn't sound like a pipe-dream.
