1. Description and Purpose

The Tekken 7 Jukebox Tool allows for easy replacement of existing background music in Tekken 7 for the PC. Simple to use and extensible, it aims to be the primary means for the Tekken 7 modding community to share their custom music mods and allow users to be flexible in their choice of preferred music. Anyone can create additional music packs for use with this tool, making it the easiest way to adjust and cater to every aspect of your personal musical needs.

2. Requirements

• Microsoft Windows 7 or higher
• Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 or higher

3. Instructions

• Download and extract the tool in a location of your choice
• Download the Default Music Pack or generate and import your own soundbanks for use with the tool (find the tutorial further down this post)
• Place any music packs in the /BGM/ directory (which has to be located in the same directory the tool is run from)
• Launch the tool and choose your preferred background music for each individual stage, then select "Generate .pak"
• The tool will generate a "Jukebox_P.pak" in the same directory it's run from
• Place "Jukebox_P.pak" in your "TEKKEN 7/TekkenGame/Content/Paks/~mods" directory (if it doesn't already exist, create it)
• Launch the game and enjoy your new music!

4. Special Thanks

• HelixShot, for putting me on the right path to the solution for FR stage BGM replacements
• xRuneXero, for compiling an extensive list of soundbank IDs for the default game BGMs, which I shamelessly parsed and converted for use with the stage list in this tool
• Gneiss, for finding the encryption key the music soundbank is encrypted with, which made this new release possible
• The Modding Zaibatsu Discord server, who have been maintaining unofficial updates for the tool while I'm too busy to work on it. Join today! https://discord.gg/nCAeJE4z5U

6. Frequently Asked Questions

Does this tool work online?
Since it only locally replaces non-gameplay relevant data that does not affect your opponent's game in any way, using it online should be completely fine. There is, however, no guarantee, and I can't say for 100% certainty that there won't be any problems.

Can you make it so the music doesn't restart when the fight goes into the final round?
This is impossible using the method this tool uses to replace music, and extremely unlikely to change in the future. As such, the answer will always be a No, I'm afraid.

Stage X is missing/Music X is missing from the default BGM pack/Stage X doesn't play any music!
Leave a message in this thread pointing me to whatever is wrong and/or missing in and from the tool, and I'll look at it as soon as I find the time. Do not DM me, as this will lead to you getting ignored (or blocked if you're persistent).

I set music for Stage X, but it plays on Stage Y!
See above; however, you first might want to make sure that you didn't use the Jukebox Cheat Engine mod that adds the Jukebox menu to the PC version. The Jukebox Tool assumes that every stage is assigned its regular music -- if you've made any changes using the Jukebox UI mod, you'll have to undo them before using the Jukebox Tool.

Can I use this at the same time as other music mods that modify FR stages?
No. Since both the Jukebox Tool and every other music mod that modifies FR stages has to replace the same file in order to work, they'll conflict, and one of them will not work. The author of the music mod you'd like to use will likely have used WWise to convert their music to the correct game format; you could ask them if they can provide their mod in the form of a music pack for the Jukebox tool.

My replaced background music is really quiet?
Try downloading the updated Default Music Pack. It should contain fixes for the low volume that many users have been complaining about. If it still contains a track that doesn't match to the official BGM in volume, please let me know so that I can fix it.
