I had some free time this morning so I decided to go on a boat ride [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Ok A few things, at the moment it's just set to a zone wide trigger and on auto repeat. this can be changed quite easily.

What I need is some help, I'm pretty sure there is more boat MIDI, I seem to remember some wave sounds and a dock bell on one of them.

I'm hoping people can remember what tunes are missing with an approximate location in the zone that they triggered. If I can get that information I should be able to restore the missing tunes.

Should also be able to fix zones like West Karana and stop the MIDI from triggering every 10 seconds as you run along the shoreline and have the whole tune to play.
Ah yes... the boat music. Here's what I remember from the year 2000! The boat music was always a little bit... buggy? It definitely didn't loop continuously though. I also don't think there was any other music, at least when taking the old world boats like from from Freeport to BB.

I'm an auditor on EQClassic, which uses the trilogy client. As far as I can tell, all of the .xmi triggers there seem to work exactly as I remember. I made a recording of the boat ride from FP to BB with the music below so you can hear exactly what happens.

You can hear the music plays through completely once then loops once, but with most of the channels muted. Eventually the all come back in and then it ends. What's interesting is as soon as a different .xmi trigger event happens (for example the battle music), the boat music starts over again, etc. I'm thinking the .xmi was always on a zone-wide trigger, but after one loop, it's supposed to drop all of the channel volume to 0 until the next trigger. Just a hypothesis, as I haven't dove into the deep end yet.

I'm definitely curious to see what you can come up with on this issue.
