CustomAudio – Now with Location Music Support

This is a fork of the original CustomAudio mod by aedenthorn. It adds support for substituting location-specific music, which was not implemented in the original version (as this feature was introduced in a later Valheim update).

Important Changes from the Original CustomAudio

The mod now supports layered folder loading, enabling compatibility with mod managers like r2modman:

1. It first loads audio tracks from:
   BepInEx/plugins/CustomAudio (as in the original CustomAudio)

2. It then loads tracks from any of the following:
   BepInEx/plugins/<modauthor>-<modname>/CustomAudio

Tracks and folders with matching names will be overwritten in alphabetical order — later names override earlier ones.

This means:

• Mod authors can bundle soundtracks with their mods.
• Users no longer need to manually copy the CustomAudio folder to the top-level plugins/ directory.

How to Replace Location Music

Unlike regular music (which uses track lists), location music maps one location to one track.

To replace a location's music, place an audio file with the same name as the original track inside:
CustomAudio/Music/
