Info
This pack consists of complete Risk of Rain 1, Risk of Rain 2 (SotV included) and DEADBOLT soundtracks. The file settings.xml has been configured to support the included tracks - basically, game's original ost plays (mostly) on the same stages as vanilla with added music from 2 other games.
I tried to stay as accurate to the mood of each stage as possible and add at least one additional track (both normal theme and tele event) to each stage.
All credit goes to Kyle Paulsen for developing the original mod (https://thunderstore.io/package/Kyle/OriginalSoundTrack/) and to Chris Christodoulou for composing the soundtracks.
Variations (unique feature)
Most boss music in the mod has shorter variants that start closer to their respective crescendos that can randomly play instead of the full version from the original OST - some more intense parts of the original tracks usually are incredibly rare to be heard in game (because of how the game difficulty is structured - you are heavily discoraged from not charging the teleporter during the tele event). The variations add a little bit more variety to the soundtrack and frankly some of those more intense parts are just too good so now you don't have to throw to hear them.
"What songs does a specific stage have?"

Customization
Volume can be altered in settings.xml, found in the mod's folder, under "volume" tag (from 0 to 1, by default it is set to 0.4), or you can fiddle with both master volume in game and app volume in sound mixer for the desired effect. There isn't an easier way to do it unfortunately.
INGAME MUSIC VOLUME MUST BE AT 0 OR YOU'LL HAVE BOTH GAME MUSIC AND MOD MUSIC PLAY AT THE SAME TIME
Compatibility
The mod is incompatible with any other mod that is using NAudio.dll to play sounds. Make sure you either delete or disable the conflicting audio mods.

Known issues
- Music on title screen/in lobby stops playing after about 20 minutes (in order to have a track to not change between the scenes, it has to be non-looping and be the only one able to play)
- Mod breaks if it doesn't play sounds for too long (restart the game)
- No way to make soundtracks more dynamic the way the original ones are (the ability to customize trade-off)
- Mod is heavy (not sure if I want to reduce the audio quality)
Mod isn't client-sided (there is a branch of the original mod on github with this issue allegedly solved, but I know nothing about programming)- Updates are small and slow (spotting mistakes on my own takes time considering I am devoid of feedback and don't play the game as often)
