I found an ultimate MIDI collection online where someone already did that.

Awesomesauce!

Have you since stumbled across which file governs the merchant theme?

Shendare · #79 06-05-2015, 09:35 PM

The merchant theme is song # 21 out of 24 in gl.xmi. Where the game is told to get it from there, I don't know. I haven't seen it in any config files, so it might be hard-coded.

Grimluck · #80 06-05-2015, 09:46 PM

that list you gave of the 24 themes, is that the .xmi index parameter? Maybe I can change that value to trigger the my merchant.mp3 in the /sounds folder from an gl.emt file.

Grimluck · #81 06-05-2015, 09:51 PM

Meh. Didn't work. Worth a shot. There's no way of editing the hardcode?

Shendare · #82 06-08-2015, 09:32 PM

If it's really hard-coded into the client to play eqtheme.mp3 during load screens and character creation and selection, then the only way to change it would be to make changes to eqgame.exe, or one of the .dlls if that's where the coding is, and that's beyond the scope of my customization work.

On the other hand, while I've had a bunch of non-EQ real life things taking up my time lately, I've managed to finish up a working Eff2Emt converter with a graphical interface.

Give it a test and let me know how it works for you:

Update: Made a download page and moved the source code to github.

Excellent! Will get to work on these as soon as I can.

Grimluck and Shendar,

I just wanted to say I am monitoring and excited to see the progress of your project.

Grimluck, the music on soundcloud is amazing. Way to go! Also, I may have missed it, but do you have a download site for it? Love to listen on my laptop when disconnected.

Thank you.

Grimluck · #86 08-17-2015, 01:43 AM

I'm sorry, but I realized I never showed you guys the music I have so far. It's available to download here, or if you prefer to stream it, here. Thanks for all the help Shendare.

I will get on this as soon as I can. I'm starting college soon, so I fear I won't be able to dedicate as much time to it as I would like, but eventually I'm going to complete this, and everyone will be able to enjoy this in game.

Shendare · #87 08-17-2015, 01:51 AM

Wondered how things were going for you. Thanks for the update and the download link.

Sounds like you're having fun!

Grimluck · #88 08-17-2015, 01:04 PM

Recreating the music is a blast! Testing the zones definitely takes some patience, haha.

pfyon · #89 08-29-2015, 11:57 PM

I'm genuinely impressed. The changes are significant enough that they make the music sound better, yet subtle enough not to change the tone of the original audio.

Good work!

Grimluck · #90 08-31-2015, 10:15 PM

Thanks, pfyon! Appreciate it. There's more to come. Hopefully I can get them all implemented in-game.
