Hello, im trying to create a main menu soundtrack replacer, however ive encountered a few problems. Could you help me with that please? I tried the PZ discord but no one wanted to help me so im trying this

Hi everyone! After a month of work and 217 audio files later, I finally finished the overhaul to the music mod. The mod is drastically different from what it used to be here so I uploaded it onto a new workshop file so this one can be archived. Please go subscribe to that one if you want a working build 41 version of silent hill music in your game!

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2718650240

please update

Currently in the process of updating it, the new sound bank has over 200 audio files I have to replace.

Damn this mod is sick. Would love it to be updated.

is this mod going to be updated?

do your best, good luck : )

good idea.... i'm doing the same..

Yeah there are a lot of files to change, but I'm working on it slowly. Everyday I convert 1 or 2 songs, eventually they will all be finished. Just keep at it!

the way the developers left the music files, it's much harder now to modify , i'm struggling to update my mod from RE2..

please update

@Warmacha I look forward to the update. Thanks for probably one of my favorite mods <3

Now that stable is out, i'll be working on readding all the music, there's so much music in the bank files I may need to include Silent Hill 3's ost too

It seems they are constantly changing up the bank file, so i'm waiting till that stabilizes so none of my work gets erased.

so any luck on updating it to build 41?

ah I see, then I will give it a look soon.

you use the same tool. FMOD bank tools

@Warmacha you change the same way you did in the past , the bank files can now be modified :D

@CrazyTv Oh! Do you know if it's still possible to mod music still? I would like to update the mod to work with 41.56, but I don't know if it's still possible to mod the bank files.

hey friend, do you plan to update this mod? I'm a little disheartened by the sound mods, so many files now to edit, with this mod I can take courage and redo it to 41.56

are there any successes?

Yes they did actually break this mod, seems like they recompiled the music into a different sound bank. I'll see if there is anyway to fix it.

Double check the installation instructions I have in the description, make sure you put it into the \sound\banks\desktop folder and replace the file in there. as well as set your music in the options to use the old early access music library.

if none of that works, maybe they might've broken the way this mod works. I haven't updated it in a while waiting for them to finally fix their music so we can mod it properly.

Hey there I dont know where I'm going wrong. I located the media folder with the right workshop ID, I drug it into the C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid Location I set the audio to early access, restarted the game and still had the vanilla music. Tried again several times by verifying the games files and un/resubbing to the mod and trying again and still nothing. I'm running on IWBUMS-41 I dont know if that may be causing it to fail or not. Would love if you could give any input!

Awesome mod! The silent hill music is orgasmic, I even sit at the main menu just to hear it.

This mod is perfect when you have.
Superb Survivors = Medium Hostility.
Zombies are only active at night.

someone needs to make a mod to replace zombies with SH monsters

As someone who loves all the SH games from Team Silent and especially the music I must say I'm a little disappointed that the songs don't play fully. They cut too soon or don't play at all. Also you're missing out on some amazing Silent Hill 2 songs, like the forest walk from the very beginning.

I highly recommend you remake this into 2 mods:
- Silent Hill 1 Soundtrack
- Silent Hill 2 Soundtrack

Separate some of the high tension songs to be only during combat and the calm ones longer and when nothing much is happening. Also the volume needs to be normalized and made lower. Even if you set the music volume all the way down the songs will play too loud, making you mute often.

Still, thank you for this!

cara esse mod ficou muito top! deu um ar sinistro para o jogo! top demais. pra quem é bunda mole, não instala kkkkkkkkkk

These tracks are so aggressive I don't really want them in my game XD

But glad a mod was made for people who want them

to make a mod like this, you need to download FMOD bank tools, then extract the bank, replace the assets, re-compile the bank and boom, done

Any chance of a guide on how to make a mod like this? I've tried for years and now I see them popping up all over the workshop and can't figure out how to make one.

Happy to hear that!

Im too young to have played these games but the soundtrack is amazing, thanks for showing it to me now i wanna play it!

i figured it out lmao

You have to install using the instructions in the description

by selecting*

so do i have to put this over the music or can i just switch it my selecting it in game?

Might we take this to private? I have some stuff to share

Pretty much. I asked them about this and they said they don't have any plans on releasing it anytime soon... which was 4+ years ago. If more of us ask them or if this mod gets popular and they notice maybe they will see the demand and give us the projects for build 41. Maybe...

yeah the tools seem to be outdated as the oldmusic.bank has been compiled back in 2014 or smth like that. Tbh we'd just need them to release their FMOD project files (even without the audio assets themselves, just the structure) and we'd be able to build and rebuild to our hearts' content

@Raven Yeah that bank extracts well but doesn't seem to like being rebuilt, haven't found a work around that yet, unfortunate since the devs locked so much of the sound effects in that bank. Might need to get the source code for the tool and make updates to it.

@boiled cocaina It would be a lot of work, I was thinking of doing Resident Evil next if I did do another music replacement mod. It might be hard to get movie music like 28 days later to sound well when the .bank file cut's the audio currently.

Currently it is impossible to repack some bank files in project zomboid right now. Trying to find the reason for it, but personally it could be an issue with the game.

have you been able to unpack and repack the StudioOnly bank? because my tools (v14) aren't able to

hey can you make one with 28 days later music?
ill pay ya if i have to

@Goosesalesman of Hamburg
Look up "extract fomod bank" on google, it should be one of the first links that shows up. It's a custom tool passed around so it's far from perfect.

Now music in project zomboid better

Heya! Really nice work you've done here with this mod! One of my favorites on pz. Quick question, how did you manage to unpack the .bank files without using fomod?

@Morriseo This mod only touches OldMusic.bank so don't think it would affect sfx. Try validating your game and reinstalling the mod

Thanks everyone for giving the mod a try!

Huh, this would have been nice to have before... great mod!
