I'm currently looking through the bard spell lists to see if there are any other songs that should be added. I want to keep it to 2 or fewer out of combat songs if possible so that after those songs, the regular combat songs are played. This way, you don't go into battle without the in combat songs, and I was afraid it would play out that the opposite of what we want would happen with a relatively quick pull rate - in combat songs begin playing when entering combat, but do not have time to take affect before the mob dies, then an out of combat song is started, then combat begins again, etc.. While this way doesn't eliminate that possibility, it reduces the chance. There may be 1-2 non-combat songs on while combat starts as well as at least 2 combat songs.
I tested my changes and it seems to work pretty well. I'm debating adding a #bot command to control the option of using out of combat songs, instead of a server-wide rule. It seems like it would be a player preference kind of thing.
Any thoughts?
