Music HUD Plugin

A GUI-based, all situations (singleplayer/multiplayers) music mod/plugin designed with zero modifications to game mechanics

Due to service scope provided by NetEase, this mod might not work well outside China

Usage

Client

First of all, place the prerequisite mods and the MusicHud jar file into the mods folder.

Single-player or LAN Multi-player Host

All you need is to configure or deploy an API server.

Multiplayer (join Server or LAN Multi-player)

Connected mode

You don't need to configure or deploy an API server, but the server or LAN multiplayer host needs to configure or deploy MusicHUD and API server.

Isolated mode

All you need is to configure or deploy an API server.

Server

All you need is to configure or deploy an API server.

How to Deploy an API Server

There are 2 methods to deploy.

Deploy bound with mod (recommend for client)

This method allows MusicHUD to manage lifecycle of api server.

Due to some limitations, API Server may not be auto-closed when game exit abnormal (e.g., due to a crash)

Auto Deploy

You can find "Download API…" button in setting page, which will open a download guide, and download NetEase Cloud Music Enhanced from a trusted repository which automatically releases artifact powered by GitHub Actions to bypass login restrictions of accessing artifacts from GitHub Actions, with optional GH Proxy speedup

Manual Deploy

1. Login to GitHub (Important, otherwise can NOT download artifacts) and go to https://github.com/NeteaseCloudMusicApiEnhanced/api-enhanced/actions/workflows/build-dev.yml
2. Click latest action runs in type "Build Artifacts" and download platform binary artifacts matches to your pc/server platform
3. Uncompress the binary executable file from ZIP file to …
   • Mod edition: {corepath}/music-hud/ and rename it to api (api.exe on Windows)
   • Plugin edition: {corepath}/ and rename it to api (api.exe on Windows)
   • Or place it anywhere and modify config in game or option serverApiBinaryExecutablePath (absolute or relative path) in config file /config/music_hud-common.toml.

Deploy separately (recommend for server)

1. Deploy NetEase Cloud Music API Enhanced (https://github.com/neteasecloudmusicapienhanced/api-enhanced).
2. If not using the default port (3000) of NCM API Enhanced or deploying on another server, modify the serverApiBaseUrl property in the config file /config/music_hud-server.toml.

Experimentally, theres another Rust version API server, which remains most of api-port same with NodeJS version but is much faster. MusicHUD Adapted to it since 1.2.13. You can find binary executible files in its release page. But theres still some issues in this api server edition. So use it at your own risk.

使用

客户端

首先在 mods 文件夹中放入前置 mod 和 MusicHud 的 jar 文件

单人模式 或 局域网联机主机

只需要配置/部署 API 服务器

加入服务器 或 加入局域网世界

连接模式

不需要配置/部署 API 服务器

但是需要服务器/局域网主机配置/部署 MusicHUD 和 API 服务器

隔离模式

只需要配置/部署 API 服务器

服务端

只需要部署 API 服务器

如何部署 API 服务器

两种方法

绑定在 mod 中（推荐客户端使用）

这个方法会让 MusicHUD 管理 API 服务器生命周期

由于一些限制，在游戏非正常退出时（如崩溃）无法自动结束进程

自动部署（客户端，1.2.15+）

在设置页面中的 API 状态一栏中可找到“下载 API…”按钮，可打开一个下载指引，会从一个通过 GitHub Actions 自动发布 release 的可信的分支仓库下载 NetEase Cloud Music Enhanced 以绕过访问 GitHub Actions 工件的登录限制，可选使用 GH Proxy 加速下载

手动部署

1. 登录到 GitHub (重要，否则无法下载工件) 并跳转到 https://github.com/NeteaseCloudMusicApiEnhanced/api-enhanced/actions/workflows/build-dev.yml
2. 在 actions 类型中选择 "Build Artifacts" 并进入最新的构建中根据你的平台下载对应的二进制构建产物
3. 解压下载得到的压缩包并将其中的二进制可执行文件放置到…
   • mod 版：{核心目录}/music-hud/ 并重命名为 api (对于 Windows 为 api.exe)
   • 插件版: {核心目录}/api(.exe)
   • 或者放在任意处并在游戏内或配置文件/config/music_hud-common.toml中修改选项 serverApiBinaryExecutablePath 对应(绝对/相对)目录

独立部署（推荐服务端使用）

1. 部署 Netease Cloud Music API Enhanced (https://github.com/neteasecloudmusicapienhanced/api-enhanced)
2. 如果不使用 NCM API Enhanced 的默认端口 ( 3000 ) 或在其他服务器上部署，需要修改配置文件/config/music_hud-server.toml的 serverApiBaseUrl 属性

实验性地，有另一个Rust 版本的 API 服务器，保持了大部分 API 端点不变，但比 NodeJS 版本快得多。Music HUD 已在 1.2.13 实现对其兼容。可以在它的 Release 页中找到二进制可执行文件。但它仍然有一些问题。使用前请考虑风险
