Playable Guitar 1.1.0

Please do not ask when mod authors will update their mods to 3.10 or if they can upload older versions of their mods.
Bothering mod authors will lead to warnings and repeat offenses will lead to eventual bans.

A playable acoustic guitar that you can bring with you in your melee slot. Ever wanted to just chill for a moment and play the guitar? Well now you can!

About
Playable Guitar is a custom melee weapon that I designed to play music instead of actually being a weapon. It features a few custom animations, guitar model, and around 12 songs at the moment. Most of the songs are from Stalker, and there's a few other random songs I threw in that I liked. It has two actions you can perform: Left Click, which is a basic strum, and Right Click, which will start playing a random song. Additionally, you can also utilize the MIDI functionality to play custom songs, or play directly from a MIDI device.



How to obtain


You can get the Acoustic Guitar by purchasing it from Ragman, unlocked at Loyalty Level 2. It is currently not in any loot pools, nor is it sellable on the Flea market.



Adding MIDI Songs


First, download a .mid file that you want to add. Next, locate your BepInEx/plugins folder. Inside the plugins folder, open up the plugin called TarkovMIDI. In TarkovMIDI, drop the .mid file into the Midi-Songs folder.



Adding SoundFonts


First, download a .sf2 file that you want to add. Next, locate your BepInEx/plugins folder. Inside the plugins folder, open up the plugin called TarkovMIDI. In TarkovMIDI, drop the .sf2 file into the SoundFonts folder.



Recommended Mods


Hands Are Not Busy, by Lacyway - Since the guitar does not function like a conventional melee weapon, it is recommended that you install this mod in case of any busy hands problems that may occur. I did my best to make sure it doesn't happen, but it still can in some cases, therefore I highly recommend you install this mod just in case.



Future Plans


- Fika Compatibility: Currently, in Fika, you can not hear songs being played by others, and the animations may not sync properly.

- Better and more animations: Sometime in the future, I want to redo all the animations and create the rest of the animations (inventory action, inspect, ect)



Preview


Here is a video of me using the mod (v1.0.0) in-game. Please note that the animations seen in the video are from an older version and have since been improved.


Here is a video of the MIDI functionality.


Special Thanks


Huge shoutout to S3RAPH-1M, GrooveypenguinX, and the WTT team. This would not be possible without the amazing SDK and all the guides on how to use it.

  • Version 1.0.0

  • Hi, brilliant work!

    But here I have one question: Can I add other custom sound files to this mod? Cause when I convert my origin sound files into midi files, it will lose a lot of details:(

    • No you can't. That's just what happens when you convert a song to MIDI and leave it as is. You could either edit them to get your desired result, or download a MIDI file made by someone else, which usually works pretty well. When you search for the song MIDI file, I recommend you look for Piano/Guitar versions.

  • I ran into a problem. When I was trying to use TarkovMIDI, it showed "MIDI no Device". What's the matter?

    • For the time being, ensure that your MIDI device is connected before you launch the game. It could be a one-off issue that happens from time to time. Once the new SPT release is out, I will update the mod and polish it up the best I can.

  • Does this mod support Fika? It seems not to work when I try to play with my friends.

    • Nope not at the moment, it's listed under the planned features that I would like to add that eventually.

  • ：竖起大拇指：Good！

  • I am having troubles getting custom midi files to play. I downloaded a midi file from https://midifind.com and put it into TarkovMIDI > Midi-Songs. Will it play at random or is there a way to play it specifically?


    Thank you in advanced!

    • Before you load into the raid, in TarkovMIDI's settings through F12 (Configuration Manager), enable the following settings

      • Enable MIDI
      • Auto Connect

      If you want to use the MIDI functionality, and even if you don't have a MIDI device, you need to enable these settings. Otherwise, it will default to the built-in songs.


      Once MIDI is enabled, just hit the P key, or whatever you have binded in TarkovMIDI's settings.

    • I have since learned how to read and figured out it! :)

    • Did you install both the server & client mods? (the user folder and the BepInEx folder)

  • One step closer to turning EFT into Stalker:thumbup:

  • Okay, all that's left is to add a smoking animation and you'll be able to fully immerse yourself in the melancholy of Tarkov in the rain...

    • yeah we need smoke

  • one thing i've noticed since having this mod installed is that almost everyone I kill has one in their backpack, was this intentional and is there a way to change it? Love the mod regardless <3

  • I'm not sure how Rust added a MIDI player- but since it's also a Unity game and has this functionality...


    At least proof of concept does exist :)

  • This is so cool! I wonder whether it would ever be possible if scavs (especially) might randomly pull out their guitar (or pick one up if they are on the map) and start playing - I am thinking of the moments during scav raids when it's pretty much scav's ruling the map and everyone is just chatting and laughing - would be cool to have one of them break out their guitar! (yeah I know this type of thing could get too complex unless you fudge it - but we can dream!).

  • музыка и бренчание работают, но саму гитару видно только когда бежишь на Shift, а так просто свободные руки. Если нажимать на End то просто сменяется слот, и наш ЧВК берёт в руки пистолет. ещё и барахолка сломалась, предметы не открываются и не покупаются, ВСЕ предметы. удалил Ваш мод и всё заработало, но задумка классная, спасибо.

    • Какие моды ты используешь??

    • как прикрепить скрин или картинку сюда? или куда скинуть их тебе?

    • Отправьте мне в личное сообщение картинку или ссылку на картинку.

  • One step closer to Stalkov

  • absolute godsend.

  • I downloaded as soon as I read the title! Amazing!


    When I equip the guitar I can press left click to open strum. But when I right click, my character starts strumming, I start losing arm stamina, but I don't hear any songs being played. And the only way I can put the guitar away is with the HANB mod.


    Any solutions for this?

    • Hmm I didn't realize that you lose stamina from this! I'll definitely sort that out. As for not being able to hear the song, what about in the hideout shooting range?


      Edit: Are you sure stamina is being used? Also, you are just clicking once right? Not holding?

    • Thank you for the reply,


      I haven't tried it out in the shooting range, but I am positive I lose stamina. After I lose my arm stamina it starts to drain my leg stamina in chunks. I do however have a hefty list of mods I am running. Nothing over the top but I do have several. It may be a conflict between some of them? I'll try running the mod on a clean install when I'm home and see if I get the same results.

    • Seems like it might be a conflict. Could you DM me your modlist if you don't mind?

    • Sure thing, I sent you a couple photos. I appreciate the help!

  • I noticed that while pressing the right click (To play an entire song) busy hands can happen. For me it happens kinda frequently. Busy hands fixes it though so not a major issue since it always resolved it :)

    • Yeah I'm still looking into that, hopefully will have it fixed soon. I imagine it has something to do with how I am handling AltFire.

    • Just let me know if you need anything tested for it :)
