Play
To play an equippable instrument, you must equip it, use the “/play” command to ready it, and use number keys 1–8 to play musical notes. Non-equipped instruments like pianos do not need to be readied with /play.
- /play
Place custom musical files into the Sheet Music folder, equip a musical instrument, and type “/play <songname>” into your chat window (replacing <songname> with the name of your custom music file) to play custom music in the game. All custom music files must be in the .mml or .abc file format. By default, the game begins with a copy of RuleBritannia.abc already in this folder.
- /play <songname>
“Band files” can be used to collect solo parts for multiple instruments into one shared list. Not all instruments are required and the order doesn’t matter. Band files must be placed in the same folder mentioned above and be in the .txt file format. As an example, you might have a band file named MyOpus.txt and these music files: accordianpart.abc, bagpipespart.abc, drumpart.abc, flutepart.abc, harppart.abc, lutepart.abc, pianopart.abc, and streetorganpart.abc. Your MyOpus.txt band file needs to only include the text below in order for you to play your associated music files.
- Accordian=accordianpart.abc
- Bagpipes=bagpipespart.abc
- Drum=drumpart.abc
- Flute=flutepart.abc
- Harp=harppart.abc
- Lute=lutepart.abc
- Piano=pianopart.abc
- StreetOrgan=streetorganpart.abc
To play music from a band file, equip a musical instrument listed in the band file and type “/play <bandfilename>” (replacing <bandfilename> with the name of your band file). If you attempt to play an instrument listed in the band file, you will play that one part. If you have a One-Man Band equipped, you will play all appropriate parts which are included in the band file. If you attempt to play an instrument not listed in the band file, no music will play (although you may still animate playing your equipped instrument).
- /play <bandfilename>
Adding "loop" to the end of the command restarts the song after finishing it.
- /play <songname> loop
Adding "sync" to the end of the command prepares a song to play while in a party. The leader can then use the "/playstart" command to start all players music in sync.
- /play <songname> sync
