First off, yeah yeah, it's been damned forever since I posted here, blame that on an RO client that refused to work until recently and a complete demotivation to do anything related to RO because of said client...

Anyway, I've got my client working again as I said and I've been tweakin' with the music in the bgm folder and I'm having an odd issue.

Some songs work when renamed as the target numbered track... Others don't... The In-Game locations for the ones that don't work are outside of Pront, Two east of Payon (Smokie Territory) and Geffen. The associated tracks numbers are (I believe) 12, 36 and 13 respectively. (Oddly, track 32 isn't even listed in my copies of the original music files which I have in another folder...) There are other locations I haven't been able to test yet.

It's not a matter of size, as I changed the inner Glast music (Prison, Graveyard, etc.) to an mp3 that's 6 Megs, which the tracks giving me issue are no larger then 3.2 megs. All tracks are in and were originally in mp3 format

Initially, I thought it might be the game just refuses to play mp3s from other specific games as all the tunes from Romancing SaGa Minstrel's Song worked fine, until I entered the smokie area.

Regardless, if anyone has any suggestions on this matter, I'm listening, I have no music in these areas to destract me.

Have you tried to rename on of the mp3's that dosn't work to a place where the current mp3 works... this way you can test if it is the location or the mp3.. that doesn't work... my guess is that it is the mp3... if this is the case maby it is encoded in an unsupported way... you can try to recode it with the application called "cdex"

That's something to try.

Thanks.

Edi: Yeah, it's the files.

Could you direct me to a reliable source for that program, please?

I didnt read your post but waht I did to replace the in-game music was open whatever song, and re-save it in the folder as whatever song number you're trying to replace.

Antialize 20 years 4 months ago wrote:

The program is an opensource window program.. and is distributed b the sourceforge network..
Sourceforge link..

This program is realy a CDripper.. but it will recode wave and mp3 files as will.. this import thing to do is Not to encode it in VBR... i think the program will default to using the "lame" mp3 encoder in a none VBR mode that.. that is i think it will work out of the box.... just select "encode file" or something from some menu.. and save the file as mp3.....

I don't know how to do this exatly as i do not have a window box... (and CDex dosn't run in wine)...

If you cannot figure out how this program works you can try the program audacity.. it is a sound editor program but will also do the job.... (this works in both window and linux so ill be able to help is something goes wrong!)

Israel, I thought you were supposed to be like away for some time... stinkin' liar...

I actually changed all my music in RO before. It took some renaming, but I was able to replace all of them with... wait for it... wait for it...

ANIME MUSIC!!! RAWR!!!

I had like the first Gundam Seed ending theme as my BGM for Bib...
Also, for the like login screen, I had like that .Hack song playing... seemed to fit real well... /ok

Thank you for the links, I'll try one of those programs in a while.

Isra, the process takes years and I estimate it costing 100,000 USD...

Idyot, I'm just dumping the annoying tracks like Al De and Toy Factory.

IdyotAko 20 years 4 months ago wrote:

Hmm... someone emailed me a list of the tracks before, which was what I used to assign particular music and stuff.

If I find it, I'll post it here. Note that the list is before or just after Comodo, I think...

fuse 20 years 4 months ago wrote:

You would have to use a modified client, which I believe is not illegal, but you can custom assign music to different maps that way by creating a text file that maps out the map name to the mp3 file...

modified clients are illegal fuse. seeing as you can modify them for infinite zoom, duel clienting, ultimate other stuff, and like see woe damage!

Israel 20 years 4 months ago wrote:

hmm now i know what ur talking about!
that idea seems not so prehestoric, my friend of mine knos how to do that!


I think its just replacing those files or music files to the ones u like.I mean just like fuses said , costumizing a certain maps background music.

IdyotAko 20 years 4 months ago wrote:

Well... it is fairly cumbersome to like figure out which music goes to which map.

I was only able to customize like maybe 10 tracks? I prety much just winged the rest...

Neko 20 years 4 months ago wrote:

I'm just replacing the mp3s, I'm not screwin' around with the client, iRO and kRO have my complete support and modding the client would simply be hypocracy on my end.

Though on a mostly unrelated note, I honestly hate Einbroch and Lighthalzen, as a friend said, the only good things to come from these places is that Taekwon is that much closer. lol

And a small personal rant, stupid Vitata DROP A CARD FOR ME DAMN IT! </burning rage>

IdyotAko 20 years 4 months ago wrote:

I love the Lighthalzen patch... dang biolabs is such a challenge.

And Juperos is a great leveling dungeon as long as you can handle it.

And Vitata cards are cheap nowadays... unless of course yer just starting off in the game that is... >.>

I can't wait for the new classes though... I wanna make a Gunslinger!!! RAWR!!!

fuse 20 years 4 months ago wrote:

Not to steer too much off topic, but man... Why did they name it Gunslinger? Sounds like a bad translation to me. Dualist, or something along those lines would sound better. It's already obvious he has guns... I guess it coulda been worse, calling it Gunner. @.@

Seriously... we need to put a muzzle on Israel...

But I don't think Gunslinger is a bad name. Although I wouldn't be surprised if the name changes when we get it here in iRO... /ok

They'll probably name it Rambo or something...
