Post Tweaking The Soundtrack
Just wondering, but has anyone else been tweaking the games music files?

Ive been...Experimenting with them and the main menu song is now 10x faster and sounds just as Epic as it does in reverse, and the intro song is reversed aswell. Infact ive made one so nice sounding that ive replaced the games default one with it, but kept a Backup of Course. Ive also done the Same with the mission fail song, and it sounds... Sad.

Il upload them if anyone wants them.

Sure, go ahead. But that goes in Mod Releases.

It is a modification of a sort that doesn't truly fit anywhere in the forum.
Putting it in mod releases technically would warrant a warning, since posting non-.rte mods is under the list of warn-worthy offenses.
It doesn't go in mod making; it's a release, not a unreleased development or question.
This isn't the place for it either, since this section is for discussion of the vanilla game, not modifying of the game.
The minor mod dump is probably your best bet. At least one moderator thinks it's the right place for base.rte edits.

As for this thread, I think this should probably be moved to the mod making section. Tweaking the soundtrack is a form of making a modification of the game, no?


Anyways, I've changed the game's music several times. You can string multiple songs onto one audio file, save it as an ogg, replacing the background music tracks, for the end effect of having more tracks than what you replaced. This was more significant when there was only one BG music file, though.

I'd actually post it in mod releases if it were major enough. Our moderators are fairly good at enforcing the spirit of the law rather than the wrote.

The rules should really be re-written, or with an addendum, that states something to the effect of "If it can be split into it's own .rte, it should, and ignoring this is a minor infraction that may land you a warn."

Data should split out the music, GUI, and other files to rte anyway.

Yeah, let's put in even more clutter! Yayyyyy!

There have been past GUI edits that have been in Mod Releases. This should go there.

EDIT :

Always make backups incase you change your mind!

Heres A new main menu song. Fresh of the press, just place it in the Base.rte/Music/Hubnester and rename it to the same as the other.

Heres a Tweaked version of youlost. Install instructions are the same as the above EXCEPT you put it into dbSoundworks instead. ALSO you have to rename the file inside to the same as the other. I Tried doing it in advance but put "You" instead of "U".

There's a hell of a lot of artifacts on pretty much all of them.

Possibly due to my lack of a sound card, or due to the songs not being ment to be treated that way.

The 'Fail' track is good 'cos of the depressing and sad sound of it. Its really like 'You failed' than 'Brain popd lololol, thanks for playin''. The start up of the intro is pretty good imo, but the guitar parts fail and, the drums don't sound realistic anymore, and there are cracks and snaps all the way throught the intro. Also I think that the menu music is too sad, and depressing. The menu shouldn't make you feel depressed and bad, before the game even starts you know. The prototype song doesen't sound right, so low piched so you can't get clear of the melody, and again the drums doesen't sound right.

But anyways, pretty good stuff, although it seems you've only changed the pitch and give some of the songs a little bass boost. Tweak and polish and it will be good. Keep it up.
