BattleBeats | Dynamic Music System
BattleBeats is a modern, all-in-one music system for GMod
Built completely from scratch. It plays combat music during fights and ambient tracks while exploring. Designed to be dynamic, it adapts whether you want intense boss fight music or simply enjoy it as a standalone mp3 player. The goal is to provide an improved system compatible with most popular music addons
-> Nombat
-> SBM
-> 16th Note
-> Action Music
-> DYNAMO
-> MP3 Radio
- Full user interface – other major music addons either have a very basic UI or none at all. BattleBeats offers a full-featured interface with many configuration options for your packs. You can easily access it via context menu
- Playlist creation – you can create your own playlists using tracks from different packs, with full support for importing and exporting playlists
- Assigning NPCs to tracks – BattleBeats lets you easily assign multiple NPCs to a single track, basically allowing you to create your own game soundtrack. Others either lack this entirely or have it hardcoded
- QoL features – BattleBeats offers extensive audio customization, including master volume, separate ambient/combat volume and individual volume control for both packs and tracks. Tracks can also be trimmed with custom start and end points, favorited for quick access and renamed
- Support for PvP – most music bases don’t support this or only offer a bare-bones version. BattleBeats gives you wide customization options
- Highly customizable – BattleBeats includes over 40 options, all with a dedicated UI and clear descriptions
- Pack creation – BattleBeats has one of the easiest, if not the easiest pack creation systems out of all existing addons
