Hi Zaimat,

You mention "providing support for changing music tracks." Is there an easy way for a non-modder to add more ambient.ogg files? Love playing this game. Thanks!

Welcome Sraytho to the boards

Currently the game only supports replacing (but not adding to) the original music files. This can be done very quickly and easily via a custom mod. (see this post)

If you plan on changing music tracks regularly you can always just mute the volume for the in game music and have your music player run in the background.
