[CGMZ] Jukebox for RPG Maker MZ

Hi all, introducing [CGMZ] Jukebox!

Quick Intro

Allow your player to collect musical tracks throughout the game, either manually or automatically when heard for the first time. Then, let them use a jukebox (new scene) to select a track they want to replay. Optionally allow them to permanently change the map's autoplay track by what is played in the jukebox.

Collection

Your player can collect musical tracks throughout your game, which they can then replay in the jukebox scene. This collection can occur manually by plugin command, or automatically when the player hears the track for the first time. You can also undiscover tracks in case you need that functionality (manual only).

Jukebox Scene

The jukebox scene will display discovered tracks the player has. From here, they can view information about each track they have discovered and select a track to hear it play again.

Flavor data in the jukebox scene currently includes things like the track name, composer, length, times heard, discover location, and a description. You can choose which lines you want in your scene and the order they are shown to the player, including various headers and spacing to separate your jukebox scene.

See below image for how the jukebox scene can look:

Flavor

This plugin allows you to add as many custom headers, text lines, and images to your track displays as you want. This is set up through the arrays for flavor headers, texts, and images in each track's parameters. Then, determine where each piece of info displays by adding Flavor Header, Flavor Text, or Flavor Image line items in the Display Info parameter.

You can use this to add custom sections for album cover art or any other piece of flavor you'd like to add to your tracks. See below image for how it can look:

Integrations

This plugin has some integrations with other [CGMZ] Plugins. These are as follows:

[CGMZ] Scene Backgrounds - Provide a preset ID and show a custom background image in the jukebox scene. This can include a scrolling animated parallax image, weather, and more.

[CGMZ] Controls Window - Show a window letting the player know the controls of the jukebox scene which automatically switches between gamepad and keyboard controls depending on the player's last input type.

[CGMZ] Window Backgrounds - Provide a preset ID and show a custom image in each window's background, including support for a scrolling animated parallax image.

[CGMZ] Window Settings - Provide a preset ID and change each window's windowskin, tone, style, and more.

Roadmap

This initial alpha version will be improved upon through updates as with all my other plugins. The following features are planned (no particular order):

• Automatic length detection
• Progress bar in scene to show the current position in the track the player is listening to
• Categories in the jukebox
• Options to show undiscovered tracks
• Configurable jukebox scene arguments to make unique jukebox scenes.

Of course, if you have any more ideas to improve this plugin beyond what is listed above I would love to hear your suggestions. You can suggest things in the comments below or in the Casper Gaming Discord. I add all suggestions to my to-do list.

PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING:

Please be aware that you can access this as well as all of my other Alpha plugins for $5 on my Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/CasperGamingRPGM

This is posted to Itch.io since some people only use Itch and are not aware my Patreon and all of my beta/alpha plugins exist, or want to have everything in one convenient location (itch.io), or do not want to do a monthly subscription.

Casper Gaming's Beta/Alpha plugins are treated as an "early access" and will eventually be free for everyone once they are fully released, though this process can take months/years. By purchasing in beta/alpha, you are able to provide early feedback/suggestions which are more likely to make it into the final fully released plugin.
