Great stuff. Has anyone ever heard Jay Barbeau's "Classic Rock" version of the EQ theme?

It's pretty awesome. 80's guitar sound kicks in at the 2:40 mark:https://youtu.be/Mn8bgKhsPVk

This is a shot in the dark, but would love to see someone edit or recreate this theme with that 80's guitar style throughout the entire song.

this is so awesome. I didn't read all 11 pages but if there's a way to get this working in-game, please add the link to that post in your sig.

Also Kerra Isle (Erud's Crossing technically) and Lavastorm (classic) next!!!

@Grimluck, I PM'd you early on about this...

So I showcased your work on my stream last night. Overwhelming praise and interest, to say the least. People were very very impressed. I am wondering what is the current status of being able to actually replace current game files with these new masterpieces? Is there a roadblock? coding problem?

Hey, bro! Thanks for showcasing my work. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Here's the deal: I haven't really got to work on it much because I've been on vacation from work for the last two weeks, so I've been a bit busy. But, I will be getting to the rest of the themes ASAP. The amount of work ahead of me is pretty intimidating. I have roughly 60 more themes to complete, which if I take a wild guess as to when I think I'll be finished, It would probably be about 2-4 months. Once the themes are complete, I have to work with the code to test the themes in game. This poses a problem because I don't have characters that are high enough level to be able to properly test the themes in certain zones. So, I really have no clue how long that will take. I'd rather not "release" this project until it's complete so everyone gets the entire package, and of course the GM's nod of approval. I can't get in contact with them so I can get editing privileges so I can update my first post, so I'm not sure what's going to happen there.

The dev I'm working with wrote a simple program to convert certain files into the files I need with all of the parameters in place so all I would have to do is put the appropriate file in the appropriate folder, alter its code to change the .xmi files triggered to trigger my .mp3 and log in and test it. I will test his software (to make sure it's everything I need) to convert those files and test a new zone as soon as I can. Maybe I'll work in Kaladim next since there are so many different themes within those zones.

I don't know how long it's going to take to complete the project, but it won't be too long. As I finish each theme, I will post them to soundcloud as usual. So, hopefully, it will keep people interested in the project while I finish up with the themes and prepare to test each zone to make sure it's as close to classic as possible.

By the Way, Mycah. I don't know if you're aware of this, but when I watch your previous streams on twitch, they mute sections of your audio because of copyright infringement (I'm guessing it's the background music in your stream.)

Also, I forgot to add:

There's an issue with the character selection theme music. There's a bug in the Titanium client that does not reproduce the character selection theme music. It appears that it was hardcoded that way. So, the only way I can fix it (on my end) is to hack the .exe file and actually change the source code to trigger my character selection mp3 file, but that is well beyond my knowledge of anything code-wise. However, Secrets has fixed this issue, and has submitted the code to the p99 devs needed for it to be possible on my end to have updated character selection theme. They are waiting to implement this fix in a future patch, but I have no idea of when/if it will be implemented, so cross your fingers.

Also, there's a similar issue with the merchant theme. My system I'm working with is concerned with single zone files that trigger my mp3's when in the correct vicinity of it's theme within a zone. Since merchants are NPC's, I can't modify the code to trigger the theme for merchants at this time. The dev nor I can find where the client triggers the merchant theme, so unless I can find another dev with knowledge of that (and how to implement it on my end), I fear that we won't be able to have updated merchant music, either.

I guess all I can do is hope for the best.

I use Cubase 7, but I'd rather not talk about what instruments I use. Sorry bro. /hug
