If no one objects I thought a thread with music to help inspire all of us on the team or even just give a mood for a moment might be a good idea. The files don't have to necessarily be for the project but maybe "inspired by" or "in the same vein as". And, I guess all of the files have to be originals. We don't want to steal anyone else's work and post it for everyone to grab! :)

 

Anyone can post here and add to the mood of the DarkMOD....

Yeah, the requests were the main reason why I started this thread. :)

 

Maybe we should let the others know about it.... post a link in the other forums, maybe?

I don't know about the FTP site, but if the file is small enough you could e-mail it to me and I could host it on my site for the forum.

Would it be ethical to upload one's mood music piece to the ftp if one did not have another place to host it? :)

 

I've got one or two pieces that probably aren't up to you professional musician's standards, but I wanted to share them anyway and don't have a place to host.

Please go ahead! Our host doesn't really care what we put up there. ;)

Anyway, if it's the piece you sent to me, I've been meaning to upload it and post it in this thread anyway. Been really busy this week though, so sorry about that. :(

Great, thanks. Yeah, one of them was that one I sent Pakmannen, but don't worry about being busy, happens to all of us. :)

 

Due to my ineptitude at Fruity Loops, the overall volume of this track is fairly soft.

I fixed up the volume a little bit in Goldwave, but I kept getting unwanted distortion when I tried to go any higher. So you may have to turn your speakers up or use a media player with smart volume management to actually hear anything.

I'm still not happy with the choir part in that, but don't have time to revise it now. Also, after I was done, I noticed the last guitar melody is VERY similar to that of the Thief 2 intro theme. Guess I was a little 'too' inspired.

 

Here's another one that doesn't fit as well with Thief; it's very 'techno-y' with lots of synths and stuff, but I wrote it with some sort of stealth game in mind, so figured might as well post it.

Btw @Sparhawk: Don't get worried that I wasted valuable "coding time" to do these, thiese were done before I joined the team. :)

That "stealthy" reminds me a bit of the C64 times. I always loved that music (still do). :)

That "Thiefesque" is pretty good. I don't think it would work in the game itself, but it is perfect for a cutscene or animation. I especially like this going off tune. When it sounds like wrong notes or something (00:00:23). An effect like this gives a music a creepy twist if it is done well. :)

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
