Someone should make a new thread asking for custom music playlist support I know we can't have mods for a variety of reasons, but there's no reason replacing music playlists would be objectionable - it allows a great deal of unique change to the game without any possibility for abuse or unfairness whatsoever Plus it'd be very quick, easy and non-invasive to edit the game coding so that such an edit would be possible. _________________ This signature is green.

Just start your music program and navigate your songs with your keyboard, no need for alt tabbing. And if you like to watch series or moves while gaming, get another monitor and that problem is solved too with much less framerate loss than running windowed with the player always on top. The only reason to do this would be if you were able to change the current music files for different maps and scenarios, and not a playlist. And if you for some reason do not have a multimedia keyboard, and music while gaming is so important, than go buy one! Very very few games have MP3 players incorporated into them, and for a good reason, it is simply not needed anymore. _________________ Lag spike + lag compensation = lols

I just want the ability to overwrite music files in the game folder....

SANIC would be the best YouHaveTheFlag.mp3 ever
