Well, I have been thinking of this lately. I just wanna know if it is possible for us to submit our own custom made samples for the mod to be used in some systems instead of freelancer's usual songs. I would like to spare some of my time to make different kind of samples to be used for some systems. If the idea would be favored and approved by the community and the mod owners of course, I could start working for it. I am not that good at graphical design but could try my best to create some interesting musics for contributing our beautiful mod in a way. The samples would need to be submitted for approval and if they got accepted they could be used in 1 or 2 systems for beta testing maybe.. I am not sure though if custom made musics can be implemented on the mod and server. Waiting for your opinions here, any idea is welcome.
Well I can prepare them in MP3 format but the thing here is, would that be possible to submit them for the mod.. Maybe I should ask this first..Does the disco mod currently use unique musics for new systems or just the custom vanilla FL musics? Or is it possible to implement new custom made musics for specified systems?
Im not sure if disco uses them but i no it can be done, we replaced most music in the Freeworlds mod, imperial march when you dock on a imperial star destroyer ftw!
Hmm, I checked the music folder of FL and couldnt find any original file related with new systems or associated with only disco mod. If the idea gets favored I am willing to spend some time for trying to compose some new music samples for new systems. They would both need aggressive and tranquil versions for a simple system. Danger,War and Peace stances and like that.. Waiting for opinions here..
It's actually called space, danger, and battle... and Unseelie, no it isn't. It's sitting right in the System file (Data/Universe/systems/systemcodehere/systemcodehere.ini). Use find to find the text in that box down there. Systemcode is, for example, LI01 for New York.
Code:
[Music]
Once you've found music, battle music file name (it automatically takes them out of the right folder) goes by the related entry. For example...
Code:
[Music]
space = music_br_space
danger = music_br_danger
battle = music_br_battle
That's for a Bretonian system. music_br_space is the normal old flying-around music, music_br_danger is for when there's a hostile nearby, and music_br_battle is for when there's a hostile firing at you or you're firing at it. Got it?
That would be how to submit music as part of the mod. If you just want to use your own music though, just replace the file in the music folder and re-name it to the appropriate name.
Ya, Denelo's right there. Sounds can easily be created and/or replaced in the mod. I've even seen some of the death music changed, it's just a matter of the INI coding.
As for what sounds... Well, the FL music does kind of suck. Maybe some music files from other space/sci fi games? I remember back in the Eve Online days the music was pretty good there. Yes? No?
Well I could prepare the specified kinds of musics in MP3 form only but would submitting them require something additional? I mean I would like to have a unique music listened by all mod users when they enter a new system and encounter different situations - not simply for me or an individual. Thats why I am talking about submitting stuff. And as you have said denelo, it would need at least 3 types of musics related to each other for a single system. As space, danger and battle.. so I would try to prepare accordingly, but again what I try to ask is would that be possible to make these different musics a part of the mod or not.
EDIT: And trying to compose musics to be submitted for games aint easy, as they could take quite a considerable time.
