Music

[Lord Kodos]

is there any way other then on CD to make music for the game i have some tracks i would like included in my mods

[tesco samoa]

i do not think anyone has placed music in mods.

is it your music.

because of the copy right thing??

in the settings.txt

you have

Num Intro Songs := 1
Intro Song 1 Track := 9
Num Background Songs := 8
Background Song 1 Track := 2
Background Song 2 Track := 3
Background Song 3 Track := 10
Background Song 4 Track := 11
Background Song 5 Track := 12
Background Song 6 Track := 13
Background Song 7 Track := 14
Background Song 8 Track := 16
Num Combat Songs := 6
Combat Song 1 Track := 4
Combat Song 2 Track := 5
Combat Song 3 Track := 6
Combat Song 4 Track := 7
Combat Song 5 Track := 8
Combat Song 6 Track := 15

you could make a cd with the music you want to play. and increase or decrease the number of songs

if you just want to listen then either just play music or something...

nice question.

[Lord Kodos]

Well no there is no music yet i am curious i may have some freinds compose for me.So in other words i still need a cd

[tesco samoa]

if its for you.
I usually just play winamp when i play.

Or i put a cd in and let seiv play it randomly.

But, correct me if i am wrong, wish to incorperate music into your mod ???

[Lord Kodos]

yep in the mod

Actually, the B5 mod has a music CD, though it is so huge that only people that have sent me a CD to have it burned have a copy. The startup has the B5 theme from each of the 5 seasons, so it randomly picks one. Then the music is from the various episodes and movies. The settings file reflect the music as it is on this CD, but still works ok with the SE IV CD as I tried to keep the numbering roughly the same (something you may want to think about).

IIRC, settings.txt tells SE4 which tracks to play when.
You will have to distribute a CD, or the image of a CD, or maybe just MP3s and have players burn their own.

It's too bad that SEIV could use .mp3 files in place of the CD tracks...that would be great...I can already imagine the fun I would have setting various battle themes...

[Lord Kodos]

cool ill have the music included in Extras and make you all burn it yourselves

[Taera]

Just make it optional because i wont download he 650 megs of music just for single mod

[Lord Kodos]

lol of course i have Omni-Mod light witch has none of the extras and Omni-Mod witch has all the extras

[tesco samoa]

kodos whats the music... i would like to know

[Lord Kodos]

as isaid i wouldent start work till i knew its possible.Mostly original stuff by me,my freinds and maybe a few requests from some sites.Although i highly doubt i have enough self-restraint to not put So Spoke Zaruthsa from 2001 in.

[tesco samoa]

that you could since it is not copyrighted

Also Holst Planets is nice...

[tesco samoa]

And Jeff Wayne's War of the worlds..

That should bring back some memories for some people here...
