Providing you can get hold of the audio file* that would be very simple. Convert it to .ogg format and place it in the sound folder in Thrive. Name it something like disco.ogg. Then go scripts -> microbe_stage -> setup.lua and replace

soundSource:addSound("microbe-theme-1", "microbe-theme-1.ogg")
soundSource:addSound("microbe-theme-3", "microbe-theme-3.ogg")
soundSource:addSound("microbe-theme-4", "microbe-theme-4.ogg")
soundSource:addSound("microbe-theme-5", "microbe-theme-5.ogg")
soundSource:addSound("microbe-theme-6", "microbe-theme-6.ogg")   
soundSource:addSound("microbe-theme-7", "microbe-theme-7.ogg")

with

soundSource:addSound("microbe-theme-1", "disco.ogg")
soundSource:addSound("microbe-theme-3", "disco.ogg")
soundSource:addSound("microbe-theme-4", "disco.ogg")
soundSource:addSound("microbe-theme-5", "disco.ogg")
soundSource:addSound("microbe-theme-6", "disco.ogg")   
soundSource:addSound("microbe-theme-7", "disco.ogg")

(I’m not 100% sure this will work as there might be something somewhere else that relies on the track names, but I think it should. @hhyyrylainen might know.)

* I wonder, is there a hidden track on this album that might be relevant? You’ll have to buy it to find out…

…or just use a YouTube converter if you’d rather not give me money.

I’m pretty sure that will work. (In the next release making this type of change will be simpler)

Changing the nucleus texture didn’t take long at all. Conveniently, there was a disco ball in Thrive’s files that was around the same size as the nucleus. All I did was put the disco ball over the original texture and cut off any parts that went past the edge.

So there is a random disco ball texture in Thrive’s files?

Probably still from the 0.4.0 april fools update a while back, where disco mode came from.

EDIT: though it looks different from how I remember it

PLAGIAT! Sorry, it’s just that my mod was supposed to show discoball correctly, but the banana bug applied on my discoball. But it’s no plagiat, it’s open source.
