How to stop events from interrupting music?

[crGrc]

It's really jarring when you're enjoying the game's official soundtracks (base, V2 remastered and DLC) only to have it suddenly pause because you opened an event. I can't find a way in the options to stop this from happening. Any ideas?

But isn't the "you've got rubber" music the best ever made?

 

[crGrc]

Bump... does anyone know? Devs?

You could try making a mod that changes

can_be_interrupted = yes

to

can_be_interrupted = no

for each song in game/music/music.txt and game/dlc/name_of_dlc/music/music.txt.

Cheers Hagerhink. The sound effects themselves are fine, I'd just like the flow of music to continue during events.

I would love to have this as an option as well.

I have turned off the "stinger music" in the options but the soundtrack still cuts off whenever I open an event. Very immersion-breaking and takes me out of the flow. Curiously, you can sometimes (but only sometimes) hear the piece of music still playing very softly in the background but most of the time it just cuts it off abruptly.

A simple option of a tickbox saying "Events interrupt music" would suffice and make the gameflow infinitely better. Maybe make the soundtrack like 20% lower in volume when an event opens.

Sadly it remains not implemented. Music keeps getting interrupted every 5 - 10 seconds at the highest speeds.

Event SFX are, without a single exception, a collection of unbearable grunts, wails and shrieks. The easiest and most satisfactory solution is just to remove them alltogether.

It's the music stingers slider, reduce it to zero

There's at least two mods that do this with two different methods, one by me and one by someone else, just search "No Event Sounds" in the workshop

I searched for it, I couldn't find any title that alluded to that. Are any of these mods exclusively dealing with the event sounds interrupting the soundtrack and also do they disable ironman mode/achievements?

Did you search the phrase I quoted? The names aren’t exactly creative.

One
Two

Yes, both deal with event sounds and no, no mod disables achievements.

I did yeah but those two didn't come up. Which one is yours so I can sub to your mod as a thank you?

Alright I'll try it out. For the record when I put in the title of the mod, it showed1100 results, and no mod showing had anything to do with the phrase.

Oh interesting I consistently get both as the first two results

My bad, I should pay more attention to the threads I'm replying to. I thought this was in the CK3 forums and now I feel like a clown... Could you make a similar mod for CK3?

Unfortunately CK3 is structured in a way that makes this more complicated to do. I’ve messed around with audio modding that before and I might take another shot at it but it might not be a drag and drop replacement like Vicky.
