The_Dark_Jedi_Malaka Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Did anyone ever wonder why the music in KotOR/KotOR-TSL is so peaceful [except during battle] 95% of the time? Have you ever wondered if there were OTHER bands besided the Bith musicians? I'm pretty sure there were, so.... Unless someone can give me a quick how-to, my idea is.... Metalheads Of The Old Republic Basically, there had to be SOMEONE in the galaxy that listened to metal, so why can't you put metal music into the game? o__O'' I know not everyone's tastes are the same, but for certain worlds/battles some songs would be way appropriate [i.e While fighting Kreia: Metallica - Sad But True] If this is an easy fix, then if someone could either post, or PM me with how to accomplish this, I'd be quite grateful. Deleted 'bump' attmept, sorry but 'bumps' of the type of "So any takers?" or the like are not allowed here. -RH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giant Graffiti Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 This topic might be helpful. If you need a more in-depth explanation, PM me. EDIT: By the way, it would be illegal to release it. Everyone who wanted it would have to own the songs and make it for himself/herself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunkside Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I like the idea, its just that i have no knowledge of music editing in kotors. Gotta learn that too sooner or later if im gonna make my total conversion, which will also be a tribute to finnish metal(im gonna ask ensiferum, wintersun and turisas if its okay for me to use their music:p )....

Robespierre Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Unfortunately, you can't release a mod which uses copyrighted material from anywhere other than Kotor. So, the only metal music that you could include is that which is released in the public domain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Dark_Jedi_Malaka Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 So, this would be a "personal" mod, per se... I could use it for myself, but not release it? Okay, well that's fine, cause I don't have the necessary things to release one. i.e. modding skills But I could still use it for myself, right?

Robespierre Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Yes, yes you could. If I remember correctly, all of the .wav files in KotOR/TSL are actually .mp3 files that have been renamed with .wav extensions. So, you could take your .mp3 files of Metallica, rename it to .wav and then place it in your steammusic folder. The only challenge would be to identify which sound file related to which track in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gargoyle King Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Suppose you've never come across this mod on Kotorfiles then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunkside Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Hmm... how about setting the music volume in-game to 0 and just using windows media player or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suppose you've never come across this mod on Kotorfiles then. @ Drunkside: Yeah, I could, but I'd rather it play in game than over the game through Windows Media. Plus, depending on the volume, the voices would be hard to hear. Thanks a bunch for the info, guys. Hopefully I remember my flashdrive next time, and I'll try to figure that out. =] This is going to be way awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
