Intro
As many of you know the original PC port of the game butchered the soundtrack, cutting the good bits of all level tracks.

DO NOT DESPAIR, as full lenght tracks do exist.

The soundtrack was originally released in Japan under the label MJCA-00063[vgmdb.net] as バイオレンスキラー オリジナル・サウンドトラック (Violence Killer Original Soundtrack).

This physical release features the full lenght tracks of the PC soundtrack which was downsized for reasons only Iguana knew.

I've edited these tracks to loop correctly and they won't overpower all other audio sources as the current tracks used by the developers do.
HOW TO INSTALL
1. Download either one of the rar archives below:

-Original edits by me, 6/8 loops, bigger filesize
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1h1U0GaTj5n75heoEo8scenYMIh2qOKTU/view?usp=sharing

-Edits by Stephen7853, 2/3 loops, smaller filesize
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3fVrP98LiW4emRrY1Q0ZkQzYW8

2. Extract the archive anywhere you want, preferably a temporary folder, CLOSE THE GAME IF YOU ARE CURRENTLY PLAYING IT!

3. Navigate your T2 installation folder \steamapps\common\Turok 2 - Seeds of Evil\music\

4. Either back up or delete the files inside the "pc" folder, move the files you extracted from step 2.

5. That's it, play the game.

This playlist is the Violence Killer soundtrack as it was released in Japan.

This is the OG PC soundtrack playlist, music that came with the game in 1999.

Can you do the same for the 1st game? Or is it just not needed.

Is this still needed after Nightdive?

@ZenithZX Not music theory, it's just 2 or 3 loops vs 6 or 8. I went with a smaller file size with seamless loops cause they're massive flac files. The other edits are crossfaded, but you'll hear the intro repeat less. It's one thing I wish Nightdive's PC port did better

@Stephen7853 Complete noob to music theory and w/e here, what's the difference between a 6/8 loop and a 2/3 loop? Does the song finish sooner or is like the beat different?

Updated the GDrive link as Google changed security policies or something like that.

>I'm not seeing any extra music
Of course you don't see anything dumbo, you listen to music, not look at it.
Next time, try harder before trolling.

Full track of level 3 from the JP album (what I used to create these loops):

Same track from the OG pc port:

@Adambean the crossfade looping was something i fixed in my version that's also linked, but the loops are shorter. i wanted to keep file size as low as possible which isn't easy with flac
I think we both used the violence killer OST which is the only version of the soundtrack to not cut off the end sections to some songs, so kill_dano is just objectively wrong here. also not sure where the lower dynamic range part comes from, the overall audio is quieter so if anything you have more dynamic range compared to the original compressed PC soundtrack

Are you listening to the right stuff? There is obviously extra real length in the 6 level tracks. Only the 6 level tracks mind as these were the only ones cut down due to the CD-ROM length limits I mentioned previously. Port of Adia for example has a noticeable inclination ending, and Death Marshes goes on for like double length. Primagen's lightship also has a noticeable extension to the Oblivion segment.

Here's the original set (top) and Coyote's edit (bottom)...

@Coyote thanks again for your edits. I've had them on throughout working days and are pretty much perfect. The only noticeable loop I noticed was Port of Adia, after the inclination ending the crossfade isn't molten butter smooth but it's still very listenable.

Back on topic, I've started checking this out and it's off to a good start. Love that a better fidelity of Port of Adia's ending rise is there. Thanks again! :) :steamthumbsup:
