EQ Music: Reimagined

[jballe3]

OH! Also! Felwithe music! That is awesome too!

Do you do anything post Velious? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I know PoP used some real instruments, but some of those songs were very cool as well, and may be fun for you to do!

ALSO! I've been kind of honing and working on my mixing skills and was wondering if I might be able to use the files you have as practice for mixing by chance? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] If so, lemme know! Can PM me if you'd like.

Loved the Mystery Theme (alt. Kelethin).

On a random note, I've always wanted to start a death metal band focused around Cazic Thule and his followers.

Haha, nice! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Anyone elses Titanium (bay of pirate version) missing almost all the classic zone music files? I have Nek Forest music play and thats almost it. I checked EQ folder and there's only a few classic mp3's and the rest are later expansions.

Do you have Environmental Sounds option turned on? I think that has something to do with it. Also, P99 uses mostly old zone music, which is in the form of XMI files. The XMI files basically trigger the MIDI tables that play through the MIDI soundbank on your soundcard... which in most cases sounds a bit lacking (hence the purpose of this project).

Sorry man, keeping this shit classic! I would love to do the Kunark & Velious music, but unfortunately, Kunark is almost devoid of music, and Velious too, to a lesser extent. Working on the Felwithe theme as we speak. I will send you a PM about the files.

Nice! I just tossed you a follow via soundcloud from my bands soundcloud haha.

(West) Freeport and Desert of Ro themes has been added! Edited the title of the Freeport Docks theme. Also, if you listen with headphones on the Ro theme, i added in a quiet wind blowing in the desert for atmosphere and immersion. I also made a Ro theme without the wind blowing that i can reupload in its place in case of a public outcry for that shit not being classic.

Rivervale theme has been posted.

After talking to some people on the EQEmu forums, I think I may have found a way to implement the new themes in game. I'm going to be modifying some files and doing some tests, so stay tuned for that.

[Grimluck]

IT WORKS! I got the Kelethin theme to play within 500 yards of the city, however there is more testing that needs to be done. There's an issue with the music cutting off abruptly, and I'm exploring options of how to make the music fade in/out upon entering that specified coordinates. BUT, THE HARD PART IS OVER!!! I have a lot of work ahead of me. If anyone tech-savvy is interested in helping me implement this within all of the zones, it would save me months of work.

Testing in Greater Faydark is wrapping up. There's an issue with the new implementation of the music concerning the ambient nature sounds. Once I implement the new music to a zone, the ambient sounds (rain, forest wildlife, swamp wildlife, etc.) no longer play. However, the dev I'm working with has a lead on a fix. Will know more later tonight.

Also, implemented new music in Rivervale!

[Grimluck]

We've made huge strides in figuring out what the parameters in the code do. So far, I have Greater Faydark completed with all of the themes in the right places within the zone, AS WELL as the necessary fade ins/outs of the themes. The dev I'm working with the finishing up converting the sound files in the .eff files to be used as .wav files so the .emt files will implement the environmental effects/ambient sounds within the zone. So, basically, we can have updated music WITHIN THE GAME with all of the environmental sounds in tact.

Excellent progress!
