Yeah, I have no idea if it will be copyright flagged or not. It's possible that Night Dive have done the work to make sure that it isn't.

No joke, I had some Kevin Macleod playing in the background during my most recent stream, you know the stock copyright-free song for technical difficulties? Half the stream got muted for copyright violation. >.<

If yer ever wondering about copyright issues, it's always safe to assume it's gonna get shut down; those who uphold it hate the concept of fun, just like any legal expert- xD

hey heu hey! looking to make some eerie music for my stream, this one fits pretty well but im unsure if im going to run into copyright issues with this.

Thanks! I'll check out your UPK. 👍

@Kruzil Oh boy, it's been a long time. IIRC I think I actually removed the dropship cue feature entirely from Wwise MMS because it was unreliable and usually sounded terrible even when it worked.

You can actually open the UPK for this music pack in UDK and see the cues, that will tell you how long the stingers are. I think 2-5 seconds is about right, but again it has been a very very long time now.

@nintendoeats I'm working on my first MMS music pack and I'm curious; how long are your stingers? Also, what's the recommended duration for the Drop Ship Cue?

Maybe a bit. I like it that way :p

the moaning battle song is way too loud, lol

Kino AF

I personally don't like the CD music from Blood. This is cool and good, but if this included the classic music I'd be all in.

Have just been playing, this soundtrack during the Lost missions is the ULTIMATE!

Very good work.

@Star¤Dagger I'm glad you enjoy it! I really like the different tone, and I can see how that would fit the original X-Com concept. I think this pack particularly fits Long War, with its drawn out campaign and much thinner margins of success.

Takes me back to the 90s! Outstanding

X-Com was originally supposed to be like this, scary, horrific even. The original [1994] had some music in this direction.
If I can get MMS to work on my potato, I'll add this in.

@Frozium Even if it did...I don't want to build these flowcharts again. I don't know that I would call EU darker than XCOM 2, but it has been many years since I played it so my memory may be clouded. Also, you can't play with Archer, Jeremy Clarkson and Father Jack in EU. It's hard to take the game seriously with them floating around :p

What a shame EU/EW doesn't have mod support, this OST suited that one a lot better given the darker atmosphere.

LOL don't I know it! I'm a kinda-sorta a mod-tester's assistant, so...yeah, I'm quite familiar with the whole dysfunctional mods scenario. xD Fortunately, everything's working again, so far so good. Armors of the imperium's still being a bit glitchy, but still, I'll fix it. x3
In any case, thank you for all your help, and I appreciate your responsiveness.

@Anihilatitron

I'm glad you like it! Sorry your other mods have gone weird, unfortunately stability is not a strong suit of XCOM.

'k, so, I got it to work with just the uninstall/reinstall. Now this mod works fine, and sounds pretty good. BUT now a lot of other mods I'm used to running are going on the fritz...
Welp, anyways, pretty good mod once I got it to work, dunno what happened and probably never will, but still.

Will do.

@Anihiatitron

Thanks, please let me know what you find when you get to it.

Ah, ok. I understood the intention, I was just double-checking. Thanks for the advice, I'll try it when able.

'k, I'll keep that in mind. I've been very busy of late, but I'll get to that when I can, unless the Wwise Mms thing fixes the problem first.

@Anihilatitron

Wwise Mms does not include anything new. It does not require any new agreements. I am suggesting that you try it only because it contains a rewritten track management engine.

Unfortunately I cannot troubleshoot this any further without reproducing the issue. If I could see your mod list that might help. It would also be useful to see your Launch.log after getting to a place where music should play. That file can be found at "C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\my games\XCOM2 War of the Chosen\XComGame\Logs

WotC, and I haven't tried using Wwise Mms yet. That mod doesn't require any third-party EULAs or anything like that, right?

@anihilatitron

I just ran a test with only the workshop versions of MMS and this music pack enabled. It worked fine for me. I have to think that another mod is interfering, or on a long shot that you are running out of RAM. Are you playing WotC or vanilla? Does it work if you install Wwise Mms alongside MMS?

Not so far as I am aware of. I had tried out the Deus vult music pack for a little bit before, but after uninstalling and clearing the cache, this issue with the blood tracks persists. Also, I've noticed the blood music very, very faintly overlapping the skyranger-loading menu song, but only enough to annoy and confuse. I'll look through my modslist again soon, but I don't normally use non-voice sound-based mods, so....

@Anihilatitron Do you have any other music packs enabled?

The music plays, but only for the main menu; no other time....

@vice

No problem, thank you for bringing the issue to my attention and enjoying the mod!

Gotcha! Thanks for checking on this so quickly! Love the music!

@Vice

Wwise Mms is just another mod. It's an expansion of MMS. In any case it shouldn't be required, I found a typo which I believe was the issue.

Wwise mms? How do I install it like that?

@Vice

I think I fixed it.

@Vice

Grrrrr. I have been dealing with that issue in many places for yonks. Try installing my mod Wwise Mms. It overrides the MMS music logic. That portion is compatible with WotC, even though the packs themselves are not. I will double check the configs in this pack soon.

Just started a new campaign with this installed. I did notice however on my old ones that have the shadow chamber that there is music in the avenger.

@Vice

Under which circumstances and with which other mods? Do you have the Shadow Chamber yet?

I don't get music while on the avenger sadly...everywhere else is good though!

@22yvy: Your welcome!

This is really VERY COOL. I love the tune with the female chant but all the others, too. Big thx!

@Lord Muffintop: I'm afraid I just coulsn't see anywhere it would fit. It is very specific to the carnival environment and I tthink it would sound out of place anywhere else.

Shame you couldn't finagle Dark Carnivale in there, it was always one of my favourite songs from the OST.

@Neolithic-Man-Poptart: You just gave me an idea.

I live... again!

I LOVE creepy music. Definitely trying this out :D
