Every now and then when I log on CF, I think to myself: "It'd be cool if CF had some music." I like that it doesn't have any graphics (even though I think it would make an amazing MMO), but music would be a real treat. If somewhere, some day, someone wrote up a mud client that was specific to CF and was integrated so that it read cues to play music when you entered an area of got in a fight, I would be a happy man.

Some examples of what I mean:

When you enter, say, the Forbidden Forest in the Past, you'd hear,

When you entered Galadon, you'd hear,

Emtering the Hamsah Desert?

You get the gist. What do you think? What music would hear and when would it play?

Please, Please put in an option where we didn't have to hear the music. I don't want to hear another Final Fantasy song ever in my life. *stupid brother*

It would give a whole new meaning to poofins.

Did Daevryn just appear before you? Uh oh.

I imagine Rayihn or her shrine having one like this

Good movie too.

Otherwise someone would teleport blind, and the music would tell them where they died. I remember once dying on strange island and knowing where to go for my corpse because I heard the parrot just before I keeled over.

Or, you'd hear sound effects that indicated you were blind instead.

I usually rock out to a little Tool when brow-beating in CF. Although for some odd reason, my return has me listening to more Linda Ronstadt - sonofa!

This would probably be very easy to configure if I could ever make some real progress with our CF Flash client. We're currently putting together a Project Timeline for Website Refresh so something like this would be back-burnered as more of a convenience.

I have also been working on website stuff... this is the problem with having team marketing not be in contact with team immortal. :(

What are you guys planning to do?

I don't see why not. This is a website design refresh. We're not really looking at changing any of the content (since it's tied into the system).

I think both Teams do need to collaborate in order to meet the same agenda.

Our current tasks are to present a timeline and a milestone schedule in order to meet the goals of our immortal staff.

I don't necessarily think we need to have that discussion with Team Marketing until our initial planning discussions have been addressed.

PDIOO baby! Woo!

Flash? Need some help, or does Yean got your bases covered? :P

I'm a Flash Designer/Developer.

But imagine the cacophany you'd get while chasing someone :D

Personally, I just have a big ass playlist I use while playing CF. Nothing that tailors well to a specific situation, just music that generally makes me feel up-beat. So no counting crows.

Good to make this at least for explore areas!

For when you're pumped on adrenaline:

This is already feasible with CMUD, with a lot of work. There are triggers that will play audio files. Normally people rig them to bells and whistles to use as alerts if they're spamming or something. But you could attach music to it, too, if you wanted.

I've never done this so I don't know if it's possible, but here's how I imagine it would work: You'd have to find all of the entrances to the areas you want to musicify, get the names of the first rooms in the area, and write a trigger that will play the music you want to correspond that area. Equally, you'd want the names of all of the first rooms out, and plug them into a trigger that turns the music off (or plays a different track, if you're stringing two musical areas together).
