    Music in Direct Sail Mode

    Yes, i need a little more time, too. I'm looking for some few more songs that can be played in the pirates taverns. There are not much songs that fit with those Grog guzzling and stinking bunch of pirate sailors. :cat :buds "Blow the man down", "No Purchase, no pay" and "15 men on a dead mens...

    Music in Direct Sail Mode

    Oh, this wasn't a plan. It is almost ready. Only a little bit more finetuning. I don't have to try any more cause i tested it since my first music pack (the Cutthroat Island Music Pack) in 2006 and i can assure you it will work flawless for me right now. All the music plays as it should. In...

    Music in Direct Sail Mode

    I'm still working on a complete mega music pack by my self, too. Right now my music pack includes 192 music tracks, and it's included the complete soundtrack from "Cutthroat Island" in the 2 disc extended version (Many thanks to Pieter that he has loaded it into his music database) and the...

    Music in Direct Sail Mode

    I think to create a big .ogg file with different tracks is the easiest way to hear different music in direct sail mode. Another way is to go to the captains cabin, crew quarters or cargo hold than switch back to ship deck with fast travel. When you enter the ship deck again you will hear...

    Scaling down the bitrate does not necessarily bring a big difference. There will be approximately 150 kb less per track when i scale down the bitrate from 160kb/s to 128 kb/s. With 155 pieces of music that results in a saving of approximately 23 MB. I think it doesn't matter if the pack is 450...

    Sure, but that isn't what i meant. :) I mean 450 MB only for music is way too much. Where does it end? 1 GB or 2? The first music pack i made was only 80 MB big. And i found that was big enough. But there is so much good music out there that can be used in a pirate game. To use all the music...

    Want to give a small update on the so called "Mega Music Pack" (working Title). It's now included 155 music tracks from different pirate or seafaring movies as well as a lot of sailor songs from every nation that will hear in the taverns and cities (and yes, thats includes some of the...

    Thanks for your help. :gday For me it's the same with german shanties. This is usually not my kind of music. :(o) I've got no skipping in sound in the songs 2 and 6. However, I am not entirely satisfied with those two songs either. I prefer songs where some more voices can be heard to...

    That would be like you say. But if I compare it with the English or French sea shanties i found, then the differences between the themes still significant. They are generally happier, more optimistic than their portugese counterparts as far as i understand the lyrics. (ok, i don't speak...

    Heard you had arrived safely at last? Glad to hear and welcome back on land mate. :doff I'm still working on the music pack but i didn't put the dutch songs into it right now. I just want to wait to your thumbs up (or maybe thumbs down:) ) if they are really dutch seafaring songs or not. And...

    Sails

    Sure it works. The attached pictures show what it look like. :keith But i discover a little problem in the select sails interface when you select the sails with emblems. If you choose your sail emblem everything shown right in the interface and the sail emblem can be seen as a preview. But...

    So a little more visible emblem. Hope this fit for you. If it is ok for you i will make a red one too and send you the tga.tx files. But Pieter is right. Using emblems on a small non squared sail ship looks a little bit weird.

    I made a black sail for you. Is it like you want it? Or should the Logo more visible?

    Hi it's me again and I need some advise from you, Pieter. Yeah, again. I know i'm pretty annoying :D) but this time it's nothing about coding. :) I've found some songs i want to use in dutch taverns but i didn't speak any dutch (i hope they are in dutch :) ) so i don't know if they had the...

    Hehe, i know this song. There's a german version of this song, too. And you're right, that song shouldn't be in the game. :empty Btw. some of the english songs i want to use are not from the proper time period cause there refered to some events or persons that will apear a hundred years...

    Yes, I've downloaded some of the titles like Captain Hornblower or Black Swan. But there are sooo many titles in there that it could be impossible to bring all the music into game. And my all time favourite concerning Pirates Music is still the "Cutthroat Island" Soundtrack. So i decided that i...
