The Homestuck Music Mod (3 of 3)

Description
Hey, you. Yes, you. Do you like KIDS? Well, what about ZOMBIES? And, perchance, CONVOLUTED PLOTS THAT MANAGE TO HAVE AMAZING MUSIC? Then I'll bet you like EVERYTHING KIND OF BEING DEAD, too. And if you don't... eh, I would say give it a listen anyway, but you've most likely wandered off.

This mod replaces a LARGE portion of the game's native music. Stage intros? Yeah, got 'em. Concert music? All four, naturally. Special Infected themes? Well, I didn't touch the tells, but all of the SI maulings now have a lovely new coat of ear-worm to go with your utter frustration at restarting for the umpteenth time. End of campaign rescues, Witch warnings, death cam backing, safe room- all those, and more, re-envisioned through a RELENTLESSLY LIGHTHEARTED aural filter. Most of these songs were selected more for atmospheric and blind panic factor, rather than comedic value. Hopefully, anyone who is marginally up to date will require new pants and ceiling repairs, and for those (three) of you who aren't (or avoiding it like the plague), hopefully the result will still bequeath many moments of apropos panic.

Also, spoilers: Everyone dies.

-=Details=-

Make sure that you've grabbed all three parts of the mod before starting, and be aware that most 3rd party servers don't seem to allow sound/music mods to play. If you're having issues, make sure you're on an officail dedicated OR local server. Also, the mod menu will probably say that the mods are conflicting with one another; this is more or less normal, as all three are modifying the /music folder and subfolders, just different parts of each. There is no inter-mod conflict, as far as I have found.

All songs used in this mod are property of their respective author(s), and I claim no ownership of anything here. If you enjoy the snippets used herewithin, head over to the MS Paint Adventures Bandcamp page and listen to the full tracks!

yeah i heard even in death when playing the blood harvest finale so its definitely a l4d1-port generic finale music

If Death Toll has its own set of finale music, then that would have been something I replaced at the time.
I know I had lost interest by the time the rest of the first game's maps got ported over, since I never went back to make custom intro tracks for any of those maps aside from No Mercy. But the finale music for it might be generic for the rest of the ported maps - the safe rooms have a different version of the music, meaning I had to put in a couple of copies of the version from 2 for consistency.

Extra/Unknown triggers:
mobrules.wav: Skaian Summoning
Possibly plays when the player is surrounded while downed? This is with the other "point-of-view panic" clips, such as when disabled or downed [file path: sound/music/terror].

finalnail.wav: Even in Death
yourownfuneral: Showdown
These are in path "sound/music/the_end" with the Finale Escape music (skinonourteeth.wav / Sburban Jungle, snowballinhell.wav / Dead Shuffle), but Sburban Jungle is the only one I remember hearing. These may be specific to certain campaigns, or unused.

Witch Proximity (Stationary) uses a prerelease/experimental version of Vriska's Theme from one of the flash animations, not the one from the soundtrack release; 10/25/10 flash ([S] Past Karkat: Wake Up), if past me can be trusted to remember it.

... Wew, I think that's everything.

fwiw ill help id it manually. also ur music swaps are some of the few homestuck mods on the workshop so....
lunaticFortune  [author] 21 Mar @ 5:05pm 
I'm pretty sure everything used was from Vol. 5 and earlier, as well as a few songs from Strife! and possibly some of the removed music by Bill Bolin. I didn't think to put together a list at the time, and have long since lost the original mod files. Sorry.

Holy crap people are still using this after a decade?!

whats all the song names?
