Hello, I am curious if -
Is it possible to make OTClient choose a random startup music from (1 to 5) ?

Have a good day and thanks for reading me.

Hello, I am curious if -

Have a good day and thanks for reading me.

In modules\client\client.lua, on the start of the script, add:

Lua:
local startupMusicTracks = {
    "/sounds/startup1",
    "/sounds/startup2",
    "/sounds/startup3",
    "/sounds/startup4",
    "/sounds/startup5",
}
Now edit it to contain the filenames/locations of all of your various soundtracks (it can have any amount of them).

Then find:
Lua:
local musicFilename = "/sounds/startup"
and change it to:
Lua:
local musicFilename = startupMusicTracks[math.random(1,#startupMusicTracks)]
Then move that line of code below

That should do the trick I think.

You forgot to add this below the table
Lua:
local musicFilename = startupMusicTracks[math.random(1,#startupMusicTracks)]

The beginning of the the script should look like this
Lua:
local startupMusicTracks = {
    "/sounds/startup1",
    "/sounds/startup2",
    "/sounds/startup3",
    "/sounds/startup4",
    "/sounds/startup5",
}

local musicFilename = startupMusicTracks[math.random(1,#startupMusicTracks)]
local musicChannel = g_sounds.getChannel(1)
 
Hello @Steve Albert
I tried adding it there where you placed it (loads client normally) but doesnt randomize between songs only plays 1 always,
and after function startup(client error) but still its only playing one music instead of randomizing

No module errors, nothing happens only plays 1 song hehec:

Code:
local startupMusicTracks = {
    "/sounds/startup1",
    "/sounds/startup2",
    "/sounds/startup3",
    "/sounds/startup4",
    "/sounds/startup5",
}

local musicFilename = startupMusicTracks[math.random(1,#startupMusicTracks)]
local musicChannel = g_sounds.getChannel(1)

function setMusic(filename)
  musicFilename = filename

  if not g_game.isOnline() then
    musicChannel:stop()
    musicChannel:enqueue(musicFilename, 3)
  end
end

function reloadScripts()
  g_textures.clearCache()

Sorry, I hadn't read the script fully so I made a mistake.
Okay you can try like this - revert the changes I made in the 1st post, and when the script is back to default, under
Lua:
function init()
Add:
Lua:
-- Configure initial music. -----------------------------------
local listOfMusic = {
    "/sounds/startup1",
    "/sounds/startup2",
    "/sounds/startup3",
    "/sounds/startup4"
}
 math.randomseed(os.time())
 musicFilename = listOfMusic[math.random(1, #listOfMusic)]
--------------------- End music config -----------------------

Make absolutely sure that every soundtrack that is listed in listOfMusic is a file which exists and works, otherwise the client won't run.
 
Cant manage to randomize still :C I thought it was working because it was playing another song than usual but doesnt does the random pick yet@Shadowsong

Same problem only focuses on 1 song on opening client aint doing the math randomize

This is my music direction though, dont know if it has something to do

C:\Users\Juan\Desktop\NTOWar\data\sounds

Code:
 math.randomseed(os.time())
musicFilename = listOfMusic[math.random(1, #listOfMusic)]


Code:
  musicPath = musicPaths[math.random(#musicPaths)]
 
So my problem its that #musicPaths or #listOfMusic arent getting linked inside math randomizing

I have tested the randomization thing, running the client 5 different times, I printed the name of which song is going to be run (and tested math.random further running in that instance to ensure that the os.time() seed produces properly different patterns) and this is the output:
Code:
Playing now: /sounds/startup2
 --- /sounds/startup3
 --- /sounds/startup4
 --- /sounds/startup1
 --- /sounds/startup1
 --- /sounds/startup3
 
Playing now: /sounds/startup1
 --- /sounds/startup4
 --- /sounds/startup1
 --- /sounds/startup4
 --- /sounds/startup4
 --- /sounds/startup2
 
Playing now: /sounds/startup2
 --- /sounds/startup4
 --- /sounds/startup3
 --- /sounds/startup4
 --- /sounds/startup2
 --- /sounds/startup3
 
Playing now: /sounds/startup1
 --- /sounds/startup4
 --- /sounds/startup2
 --- /sounds/startup2
 --- /sounds/startup4
 --- /sounds/startup3
 
Playing now: /sounds/startup2
 --- /sounds/startup1
 --- /sounds/startup1
 --- /sounds/startup1
 --- /sounds/startup1
 --- /sounds/startup3

Plus I'm using 4 different soundtracks and I can hear them changing.
This is still running on this code:

Lua:
local musicFilename = "/sounds/startup1"
local musicChannel = g_sounds.getChannel(1)

function setMusic(filename)
  musicFilename = filename

  if not g_game.isOnline() then
    musicChannel:stop()
    musicChannel:enqueue(musicFilename, 3)
  end
end

  g_textures.clearCache()
  g_modules.reloadModules()

  local script = '/' .. g_app.getCompactName() .. 'rc.lua'
  if g_resources.fileExists(script) then
    dofile(script)
  end

  local message = tr('All modules and scripts were reloaded.')

  modules.game_textmessage.displayGameMessage(message)
  print(message)
end

function startup()

Yeah, the code I posted to you - I tested it further and posted test results there, works fine here. Are you sure you used the math.randomseed(os.time()) function before calling math.random?

There is a thing in output of math.random - is not truly random, there is a pattern which determines which number it will produce and this pattern is always the same if it always uses the same seed.

By using math.randomseed(os.time()), we set a new seed every time the client is run, and this seed will always be an unique number because os.time() is always a unique number (present time never repeats).

Can you take the code from the last post I pasted and run it a few times then copy the outputs from the terminal to make sure they're really not randomizing properly versus just you having weird RNG and getting the same result several times in a row?

You were right about randomseed.
But it has a issue that you can fix it forcing a first unused random as the first time you use the random.
That was mine solution:

Lua:
local musicPaths = {
  "/sounds/startup1",
  "/sounds/startup2",
  "/sounds/startup3",
  "/sounds/startup4",
}

math.randomseed(os.time())
local musicPath = musicPaths[math.random(#musicPaths)] -- First random may be not randomized, but we need to force this to avoid this issue when we need
local musicChannel = g_sounds.getChannel(1)

function setMusic(filename)
  musicPath = filename

  if not g_game.isOnline() then
    musicChannel:stop()
    musicChannel:enqueue(musicPath, 3)
  end
end

function reloadScripts()
  g_textures.clearCache()
  g_modules.reloadModules()

  local script = '/' .. g_app.getCompactName() .. 'rc.lua'
  if g_resources.fileExists(script) then
    dofile(script)
  end

  local message = tr('All modules and scripts were reloaded.')

  modules.game_textmessage.displayGameMessage(message)
  print(message)
end

function startup()
  musicPath = musicPaths[math.random(#musicPaths)]

  g_logger.info(string.format("musicPath: %s", musicPath))

  -- Play startup music (The Silver Tree, by Mattias Westlund)
  musicChannel:enqueue(musicPath, 3)
  connect(g_game, { onGameStart = function() musicChannel:stop(3) end })
  connect(g_game, { onGameEnd = function()
      g_sounds.stopAll()
      musicPath = musicPaths[math.random(#musicPaths)] -- Randomizing music again on logout
      musicChannel:enqueue(musicPath, 3)
  end })
