Title: Nice music!
Post by: azile0 on August 09, 2010, 06:20:45 pm
I'm playing through WiH after a friend brought me back to FS2 (To be honest, WiH brought me back. ;D) and I must say, the music.. THE MUSIC.. I'm grinning as I chew through Gaians and GTVA. And you used Apocalyptica. I was really surprised when.. I think you used Romance, came on.

Rock on. Literally.

I second the thought on how incredibly awesome the music was.

I also have a question on it: the song that plays during the second half of the final mission, the one with epic Latin chorus... does this song have a proper name beyond "immediatemusic3"? I'm convinced I've heard it before, but am unable to place it.

I think it's Preliator.

It's a mix of Preliator and another track called Lacrimosa, both I think by Immediate Music/Globus

Yep, it is.

In other words. Insanely epic.

Me on the other hand... I believe music was way more impressive on AoA (Actually this is the one thing on which WiH let me down)
Not sure why right now... maybe the new music was kinda slow paced for the kind of campaign you pulled off.

Awesomeness.

That song in particular I thought was well-used. It's extremely dramatic, but in the context it's used, also horrifying and sad. Really brings home the feeling of "Oh ****!"

It's because there was on Aim. I'd say there were more good tracks in WiH than AoA, but there was nothing to surpass Aim.

Loved that end credits music though. Vocals in FS, who knew? :yes:

I listened to apocalyptica.ogg for like eight hours today on my iPod.
Best thing I've ever heard on FreeSpace. Ever.
And it's used for the Main Menu. :lol:

How about a nice track listing for those people who want to extract the .ogg files, convert them to mp3s, and add them to their ipod?  :)

The names that come straight out of the .vp are sort of vague, am I right?
Title: Re: Nice music!
Post by: azile0 on August 14, 2010, 03:31:22 am
Well, I could convert the entire .vp contents into a .rar with them all as .mp3s, if anybody wanted it.

Yeah, that'd be nice, allthough I think it would cause some problems. Some of the songs are comercial and I don't know if you could upload them legally. It'd be nice though

We only use this music within the limits of the fair use rule. For WiH part 2 we're, however, trying to use more selfmade tracks by DaddyWarhol and me.

I thought they let you use that music if you didn't plan on selling whatever that music is on.
Blue Planet is free to download, so there should be no problems, right?

I want it, please!

As said, we use it within the limits of the law for fair use, so we're ok, but I don't know if this would still be the case if you'd upload this music now. I'd leave it. ;)

I need to know, what is apocalyptica.ogg's source?
The main menu music.
Title: Re: Nice music!
Post by: Fury on August 14, 2010, 11:38:32 am
Open credits in tech room or open credits.tbl, all external sources for assets should be there. Including apocalyptica.

I'm not really comfortable with uploading all our music as as separate archive, but there's no way we can stop you from extracting it from the VPs.

Ah...didn't think of (but definitely should have) thought of that.

I correct myself, good music pieces... but for some reason they did not transcend the entire gameplay experience until the end, not sure why.


On a side note, can I has the name of the original track for this piece: d9death.ogg

It's not in the credits table.

Right, I forgot to check the music table, Thanks Fury.

Has anyone come up with a good playlist? I've extracted the music and am having trouble coming up with a good order to put the songs in.
