Classic combat and underwater music

[MisterLomax]

Greetings, everyone!

I'm pretty sure I followed the sound file setup instructions correctly since I can hear the good old eqtheme, death, and combat midi music just fine. I can hear the town/area location music as well. The problem I'm having is that I only hear combat theme #1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idhmDqTXUok) whenever I turn on autoattack, instead of one of the three themes at random. I can't hear the underwater theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOfy8jvq32U), either.

I searched the forums for this topic but found nothing, so I'm assuming it's because it's a relatively trivial problem or because I'm the only one who's experiencing it. Any ideas?

This may not be a game-breaking bug, but it's critical for nostalgia!

Come to think of it, I don't hear the underwater music either....

But as for the combat, well I'm a druid so I really can't help you there ;)

edit: Logged in. Yeah I only get combat music 1 as well. Guess it's not to big an issue, and maybe I also missed something in the setup (did it back in late Oct).

Also, where are our original skeleton models!?!?! Remember reading that someone figured out a way, but it would take time to implement.

The music which the game plays is 100% coded into the client, and to a lesser extent, the zone files themselves. As the years went on many of the songs got "dropped" from the client - whether by accident or on purpose no one will know, but they are no longer there. A few examples of these songs are the extra combat themes and the underwater theme like you mentioned. Another one which i've noticed is missing is the bard themes that would normally play when a bard equips a lute/drum/horn or other instrument and plays a song.

Unfortunately there is no way to get these back because its up to the client and not the server to decide when these songs should play. Since the client is not changeable, there is no way to fix this.
