[LEGACY] GotC Music Killer

@varianvs
sorry i totally missed your comment on battle music.
i did try to get rid of it, because i thought it was very immersion breaking as well, and just didnt fit the gotc soundtrack. unfortunately, it didnt really work. removing it entirely still caused a silent pause to the music during battle, and i couldnt figure out how to completely disable it. doing so would likely need hard edits of basegame assets which i won't do. i also tried to replace the battle music entries with an original short battle track that would hopefully fit better with the gotc soundtrack, but i ran into a weird problem where sometimes my original battle music would play, and sometimes the vanilla music would play even though the entries for it were overwritten by table merge. i couldn't figure out what was going on with it so i tabled it.
tldr; i can't do it, either because i suck too much to make it work or it just can't be done cleanly.

@fluttervi
that's a mistake that will be fixed in the next GotC update. it's unrelated to the music killer mod.
when testing the music i replaced the ambience temporarily to better test music, and forgot to put it back.

Hi ragnar, ok before you added music there wasnt any ambient music in gotc only at some preset places? i remeber for the most part weather was the main ambiance which was often quite windy. when this mod is installed there are awkward long sections where ambiance cuts out entirely (no wind music nothing) all you hear is footstep and sound of distant fighting. for example imma camping in cave 1 (the first base cave you come across near the start) most of the time the only sound to emit from speakers, is my own footsteps or grunting of baby shalebacks. it is just these two sounds only and is a bit jarring as ive built here before and wasnt like this, i remeber possible creaking?, rock noises and of course wind.

just wondered if this is cause?

Can you by accident somehow delete the battle music of the vanilla game? It is so immersion breaking, but disabling the whole music is also not that great of an option as the original score is very nice. Would be cool if it is possible to just delete the vanilla battle theme from the playlist as soon as a battle starts.

thanks, fluttervi. it was only requested by one person, but this was a very easy mod to make for him, so i figured there is no reason not to add it as an option for the people who cant stand the 'epic metal' music on gotc

Shame you had to make this, personally anything you add to GotC just enhances the unique personality of this map. dont pander to the masses too much, its YOUR vision that makes this mod good.
