Title: Looping UI Music
Post by: anti-trend on July 30, 2006, 07:00:37 am: I'd like to suggest a new loop for the main menu. It's only a ~9 second loop, but I can create a longer one if desired.

Here's it's current home:

Its a lot more themesongy main titlyish than yours imho..
This might have been good for a scoreboard or something....

Post by: anti-trend on July 30, 2006, 07:52:33 am: The first thing that struck me about tremulous was the sing-songy theme behind the main menu; it seems out of place on an Alien-esque game like this. I figured something a little more suspenseful would be appropriate, but that's just me.

Post by: Henners on July 30, 2006, 09:15:15 am: The current theme tune is great. I feel it captures the atmosphere perfectly personally.

Not being funny, but yours just er doesnt? And I cant start singing "BWWWEeeeeeeeem bwwaaaaaaarm! buh, Bewweeeeeem bwwwooooooorm" whenever I load up the game if you change the music :overmind:

Title: MPD support
Post by: pingo on July 30, 2006, 10:17:54 pm: I think that the music at least could get some suggestions for something new. It isn't that hard to make a place you could switch between different themes also.

But the coolest would be mp3 and even better MPC support. I'll try to make a hack to implement MPD to the linux version. If there is somebody that have suggestions how this could work plz tell me. I'm thinking on put it in the console (/mpd play /mpd next and so on).

Post by: anti-trend on July 31, 2006, 12:03:10 am: I don't think it'd be very hard to implement OGG support, which is at least as good as MP3. Then you'd be able to include a whole song, and the quick loop wouldn't be necessary.

For example, like this (http://anti-trend.homelinux.org/tmp/Cellule.mp3). (This link will only be active for the rest of the day as it is hosted on one of my home web servers).

I thought so too. So why is there a 13-second raw loop for the title music? :P

Post by: leilei on July 31, 2006, 01:18:30 am: because WAVs can get BIG?

Uh, yes, I thought that much was obvious. But OGG files are as small or smaller than MP3s, so they'd be much less restrictive in that sense. That's the point I was trying to make.

Which one are you talking about? The one linked on this forum is the one I made, not the one in-game.
