Musical Themes
Yo, It's been discussed but not resolved to my knowledge, but what do people think of music while playing, other than the combat one? Say have a darker theme for the witch's house, a nice string melody for the elves etc....I compose little melodies on my keyboard, and using Audacity I can save them as basically anything...
Examples of the kind of music I do... (There's two songs on there)

These were originally created for a school game project, but never got used...They're not Beethoven...but I think it would be nicer than nothing.
Also, would having music be implemented in the game be difficult?
Really appreciate feedback too, guys!

I think that should answer your question about the format.Last but not least the possibility of play OGG Vorbis files was added to the client. Those are the open source equivalent to MP3 soundfiles and offer us the possibility to add more soundfiles to the client without a large increase to the size of the files. Also these new ogg files are played faster and with less hardware ressources than the old wav files.

Lol...so people are liking? Are these "Ayes"? Nitram what were your thoughts? Is this usuable?
And Alex...I wouldnt mind a bit 'o' drum and bass!
Oh...and the program I used to neaten it up and save was Audacity...but it was actually just played on my electronic keyboard...I can record my self then add more parts to it...also I have about 3oo different insturments with about 100 similiar ones...so no problems there.

If you want to try loops there is a free program called Dss dj and even http://www.nch.com.au/wavepad/masters.html (They have many MANY programs like converters, sound tap, metronome, and beat generator and it is actually easier to use that Audacity.
If you need any samples i suggest prime loops and they even have some for free (If anyone wants any add me on msn and il send you some samples depending on what genre you would like) and if your looking for a dark sinister feel i would recomend 'Boo Synths' Which is avalible to buy off Htfr.com *Coughs* Rapidshare!

I would take a pretty lot of music into the game. Except those that does not fit at all.
IF there is enough music to make the change worthy I would even consider changing the background music from MIDI to OGG in case its needed.
But first do something that sound "medival" fitting into Illarion.

Alright, I'll have a crack at some new stuff tomorrow.
-Edit-
There's going to be some conflicting views on this though...What I think fits Illarion may not be what you or Alexander Knight think fits Illarion...I don't believe everyone will be happy, but I'll do my best. I'll make one example at a time...if people like it then I'll make more...but I'm not gonna chug out tonnes of songs if noone likes them.

Some guy posted the top rpg game soundtracks, im thinking more along the lines of diablo rather than FF but if antones got an idea of a game with a good soundtrack i might be able to base the track upon it.
And maybe for trolls bane some random people talking? and at night change it to whispers and crickets?

Well you either need to contact the owner asking for premission of usage or check see if there is a terms of usage it should say something like this: TERMS OF USE: You may use the sound effects on this web site free of charge in your video, film, audio and multimedia productions but DO NOT re-sell them. If you use these sound effects, please consider linking back to this site but you don't have to.
The creative commons license typically means "You may use this except for commercial purposes/modification, and you must attribute it to me" or some such, depending on which license they have. But I'm always second guessing myself, so... just wanted other peoples' confirmation.Alexander Knight wrote:Well you either need to contact the owner asking for premission of usage or check see if there is a terms of usage it should say something like this: TERMS OF USE: You may use the sound effects on this web site free of charge in your video, film, audio and multimedia productions but DO NOT re-sell them.

It isn't a commercial purpose unless we start paying for the game, at least I think that is how it works. I hate to say it but anything that isn't free unlicenced distribution, or directly signed over by a player, or created by a developer during development time would be suspect and would require a layer's "ok".
Sometimes it really sucks to live in such a sue-happy society.

As for the sound effects and things, I even have birds twittering and stuff like that on my keyboard, so it wouldn't be difficult to do.
Also, anything I do, I'm making up myself so there's no worries there (regarding copyright).
But this is good, it looks like people like the idea...makes me happy. I'll post some more songs up, once I've composed and recorded them.
In a bit I'll start a list in the General Forum maybe, so people can say what they think needs/deserves a theme.
