Title: Game Music
Post by: Kuiper7986 on May 20, 2003, 12:46:15 am: Here is the team battle song for FF11, I think it\'s great. I hope Planeshift uses a song when your fight by yourself and when you fight in a team.

Here\'s a sample of fighting music when your fighting in a team.

I think this is my favorite battle song of all time
Just copy and paste this link in your address bar and goto it. It should start by itself.
http://www.rpgfan.com/soundtracks/ff11/1-19.ram

It\'ll run on real player just click on the link and run it\'ll automatically run on real player I think.

When this song is running, just imagine you and three of your friends fighting a monster, then you\'ll see what I mean.

Just because you can download it off of the net doesn\'t mean it\'s legal or free. Heard of kazaa?

Post by: beza1e1 on May 20, 2003, 11:46:55 am: Yes, thats a serious issue. In Germany it is (still) legal to make a private copy for personal use, but distribution is illegal and implementing it in Planeshift is distribution.

Post by: elminster on May 20, 2003, 11:51:47 am: How about this: http://bigbrother.vac.hu/~einstein/battle.ogg
700 KB, stereo. Download, then use Winamp (or any other ogg player) to play it.
NOTE: This is absolutely not free, this is my personal copy, I don\'t take responsibility, you should delete it in 24 hours, etc...

Who finds out which game\'s music is this, I\'ll gratulate him: he is a true RPGer :)

No matter, here is another great battle theme:
http://bigbrother.vac.hu/~einstein/combat02.ogg

Again, this is NOT free. Delete it in 24 hours.

Who can tell which game is it from? (No, it is no BG :) )

I never thought anyone would know or remember.
I seems we have some real roleplayers here. :D

BTW, isn\'t it just good? Something I would listen when I crack some creep\'s skull.

Post by: shadowrunner on August 31, 2003, 06:01:50 am: The problem with music is there are many cool songs but they are not free of course. One possibility is to get a free old game with good music and with some programing skills rip the music out of the game. Second if there is a good composer here listen to some (I personnaly recomend shadowbane music....the only good thing asbout this game :) ) and he could try to change it a bit (well a bit more maybe) so you won\'t have legal problems. I would like to help but I am pretty bad composer :( Only good at making stories D&D and giving ideas :)

Yeah, sometimes I encounter really great music, and when I do, I get it. From the game (if it has it in files - like homm3 had that in mp3), or from the Net. Homm2 had brilliant battle music too, and the most relaxing adventure-screen music. I\'m talking about the MIDI version. Of course it depends only on your sound card how MIDI sounds, but if you have a good soundfont, it can sound really great. I haven\'t found them anywhere, don\'t some of you know where can I find homm2 music? I have been looking for it for a looong time, without result :(

I just posted the above music as I think they are good. I would listen to something \"similar\" when I go to hack\'n\'slash in Yliakum.
I hope the PlaneShift musicians will make some good battle theme(s).

Post by: hook on September 01, 2003, 06:38:20 am: ever heard of http://www.funkbunny.com/ ? ...they offer cheap, but nice music to free open-source games (note the FREE and OSS in it!!!) ...well, just bacuse they\'re nice :]

also, i\'d sugfest you\'d check the arkhart (http://arkhart.nekeme.net/) soundtrack, when they get back online ...they\'re also a free open-source (soloand multi)FRP, and their music is pretty nice ;)

[edit]
changed the \"not\" into \"note\" ...a very awkward typo :(

Post by: lostprophet on September 02, 2003, 11:43:58 pm: Wouldn\'t it be cool to have your own theme music? Like it would be heard faintly as you walked by people, and when you walk into a bar. Another way of pesonalising your character maybe?
Title:
Post by: elminster on September 03, 2003, 03:24:15 pm: Hmmm...
I think it\'s simple to do. Just replace the .ogg files with your own music in the PlaneShift/art/music dir, that\'s all.

Post by: Linkmachien on October 14, 2003, 04:44:03 am: You could always go to a forum. A good place to look would be the http://vgmusic.com forums. Look under Composition and Critique cuz there are some great composers there that would work for free or donate as long as the game is for free. I think they changed phpbb instead of their old one.

Post by: Seru on March 09, 2004, 11:23:20 pm: The mosts important sound in a MMORPG is the efect sound, if the effect sound are cool, the music is secundary. Remember this; A lot of RPG player listen CD music meanwhile they play, is too boring listen the same musics in the hours and hours and hours they are playing.

Post by: Xordan on March 09, 2004, 11:45:03 pm: Well I\'ve heard one of the new songs that\'s gonna be in CB. And it\'s awsome. (No, I\'m not gonna post the link. :P ) I don\'t know if this has been planned, but if it has, then the game will be brilliant just for the music. :D
