I was thinking as i played Heroes 3 that it would be cool if Rebellion took sounds from .mp3 Format. In the game of Heroes 3 that i have on my computer i have changed the ingame music to music that i like. It would be cool if that were true about Rebellion 2 aswell. I'm also not sure if it is Size efficient...

SWEET, my poll worked this time!!!!

..emmm..interesting ideas, Swarmer. I sort of touched on this quite a while back with something to do with music from the Jedi Knight games.

Nice idea, though, it would be cool to expand the background music of Rebellion with say a track from, for example, one of the Dark Forces games. Personally, I love the track 'Nar Shaddaa' from the original Dark Forces game, how nice it would be to have that in the background as my Star Destroyers move into orbit over a rebel world....

 

Having said that, I seem to recall someone saying they have Metallica's Imperial March playing when they launch the game...I wonder who, and would they care to reveal how?

I don't really care.

I don't really care.

 

..emmm..that's a interesting point of view...I think i'll dwell upon for a while...

does anyone know if it is space effective...

..err...

is it worth taking up more hard drive space to have mp3's - i believe it's smaller (space wise) to have imbedded sounds...

...emmm...i'm exceptionally dim when it comes to anything remotely concerning any file after a dot... Your original plug was to include additional music in rebellion...right?

no, it was to have hte main program, aka Rebellion 2, to suck MP3 files, aka music files, from an external location, aka a sub folder.

..emmm..that's what I mean...all of that flew right past me onto the wall above my wardrobe...it's currently oozing like slime down the wall and landing in globs on various bits of paper...I think it's evolving into some form of life form

 

Gosh, hang on in there dude! Wait! Eh, some kind of tenticle? What the F...

 

gurgle....gulp....aghaaa...splutter...cough....gurgle...

No no, it's okay Jahled, they're just strange shadows, calm down. Dammit man, calm down!!!

 

How about setting up the game with it's own music, but like our avatars, an option to get it from somewhere else as well, so you can build your own playlist so to speak?

i think it would be cool to have your own songs in. For example - having Techno (Prodigy) in the background

Or Tenacious D

Or Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition,

Or Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries,

Or the Shrek Album.......

my point exactally...

I aim to please.

I like the idea, definately. Nice one, Swarmer.

I think it kicks arse! Great idea, Swarmer!

 

It shouldn't be that much larger file sizes, and even if it was, doesn't everyone have 20 GB+ hard drives (at the very least)?

This is good. I touch of Motorhead or Iron Maiden as we lay waste to rebel fleets is in everyone's interests!

 

I have a feeling though, other people sharing our respective households might view us even more strangley than ever when it comes to our esoteric past time!

 

Can it be done?

I see no reason why not, other games have songlists, so all we have to do is make sure that the songs are in the right format, either .wma or .mp3 should do it.

So, does JediGreg know what he is doing???

Check out his most recent State of the Galaxy Address. Basically he knows what he's doing, just not when he's going to have time to do it.

that's understandible

Indeed it is.
