Same for me. I miss the boat music.

Probably because you're not getting on the ship that flags that music to play. The classic ship doesn't work on Titanium.

Maybe not.....Who knows. I do know when I was with the EQClassic crew, their dev put up a youtube video of the boats working, and the music played when he got on the boat. However they used the original trilogy client, so that boat IS classic as opposed to the boats here. | |||

This is definitely something I'd like to work on. Maybe using an mp3 with a location trigger along the boat route, but some development may be needed.

Ah the old EQ Classic midi music (composed by Jay Barbeau) that many people dont talk about. I am keen to video game music and this has been an issue I noticed since Luclin, when they decided to change some of the music and completely eliminate the others. Its sad because its good music that really takes me back to early 2001 when I started playing. Apparently the old EQ was playing midi files with its own midi player. After Luclin they changed music to mp3 files, but instead of keeping the old stuff , they just eliminated some, then replaced other music. Some if not all of the songs they kept now also loop endlessly, example Felwithe songs.
-Boat music "sea theme", used to be in the boat to Overthere. (i was evil race so I didnt use any other boats) -When you swam underwater, it played the "underwater" theme -When you Duck by pressing "D" , there was a "sneaking" theme -I think Wakening Lands song was taken out, although i am not sure. - NRO desert music is completely different. -There used to be 3 random battle songs when you were on combat mode, now when you delete the combat music from the files, you only get one of the old combat midis to play. The reason I believe they eliminated some songs was because they sounded horrible with newer Operating Systems (Windows XP). A great example is the file "halas 5" in the "Ultimate EQ MIDI" folder which you can download from : https://sites.google.com/site/everqu...est-midi-files If you hear it in a Windows Media Player it sounds horrible. Unfortunately they let that song slip in game and sometimes I can hear it in Qeynos or one of the good cities. I downloaded a midi player via android and played that same file, and the difference was miles apart. Im now thinking why didnt they convert the old midi to mp3 and included in the newer expansions at the time? How hard or expensive wouldve that been? If we could bring this to attention, maybe someone in P99 or Daybreak can fix or restore this hidden gem which is an important part of our nostalgia , at least to some of us. | ||

Underwater midi Sneaking midi <--- my memory is totally absent on that one. As for why they didn't convert to MP3, who knows. Perhaps they didn't have it setup like that. You still needed a soundcard with midi capabilities iirc, otherwise you are just playing a recording. Perhaps there was some issue setting the recordings up like the MIDI Quote:
