What can I customize in Ren'Py UOST-Player?

Pretty much anything. This is based off the auto-generated Ren'Py template so everything is good for you to use as-is. Just change the settings under music_screen.rpy.

How do I manually define a song?

manualtracks.rpy has a small template to define songs manually if you need to do so. You have the following options to define these tracks.

name | Name of the track
path | File path to the track from the game folder
priority | Priortization of track on the list.
author | Artist of the song
description | Track description, comments, etc.
cover_art | Path to the track's cover art (JPG/PNG Only)
unlocked | Allows a song to be shown to the player or not.

How do I priortize a song or make a song the first one?

Enable the numbered list icon in the music room and set the song priority by a value. 0 is the highest priority you can make a song be while 1, 2, etc. will be prioritzed lower in the list. i.e. 0 > 1 > 2 > ...

You may also enable this by setting organizePriority to True within ost.py.

How do I make songs locked from the player?

As of now, the way to make a song unlock is by manually defining a song in manualtracks.rpy. You can see a example on how this works in within the RPY file and under the How do I manually define a song? section of this Readme.

How do I add metadata info?

Right-click your song, Select Properties, go to Details, and fill the blank boxes you can. Alternatively, use MusicBee or a similar music player, or MusicBrainz Picard and find your song.

• For MusicBee: Right-Click your song within the player, select Edit and edit away the info you want, then click Apply then OK.
• For MusicBrainz Picard: Add your song to Picard, select it, right-click the rectangle box that has 3 columns, select Add New Tag, select the tags you want to add like Title, Artist, Comment, Album, etc. There should be a blank box in the box area below, double-click it and edit away the info you want to add, then click Save and press the Save button near Info.

Why did you do this?

I wanted to expand the original project I made with (DDLC-OSTPlayer) to everyone else in Ren'Py. Originally made to see RWBY songs play within the Ren'Py engine. (Yang :P)
