Enable music player in battle

🎵 **You can also enjoy your favorite music during fierce battles! ** This module allows you to open the music player at any time during the battle in "Yakuza 3" and play customized tracks, adding a unique sense of rhythm to your battle.

✨ Core Functions

  • **Free switching of battle music**: After enabling the module, you can use the music player during battle. While the player is running, other background music within the game will be muted.
  • **Intelligent scene processing**: During cutscenes, the music player will automatically pause and resume playback after the animation ends (Note: This feature may cause the music to pause when opening interfaces such as the store menu).
  • **Custom Settings**: You can control the music behavior of cutscenes in the game settings.
  • Path: `Settings -> Audio Settings -> Pause music player during cutscenes -> Turn off`
  • **Multi-Language Support**: The mod supports all game languages.

⚙️ Advanced instructions and extensions

**IMPORTANT NOTE**:
If you want to extend this mod or share your own music list, you can use `mobilbgm_demo` as a base for your modifications, as the game itself usually does not use this file.
- Adding a new song list requires the use of the `item_record_list.bin` file.
- You can disable the music player UI with a button switch that can be customized via the provided `.ini` configuration file.

🙏 Acknowledgments

Thanks to the following contributors for their hard work:

  • **kami**: Made and translated `options.bin` and `sound_volume_preset.bin` files.
  • **adidasskote**: Translated the Russian version of the `options.bin` file.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
