@Waffle Souls Hi, would you mind helping me create a music mod? I've already encountered an error.

That’s weird, I’ll check and see what’s wrong.

(Pretend this is an edit of my last comment)
I'm going to be annoying, sorry, but I've checked the in-game music player and it seems like all tracks are there (the Surena one is a nice addition by the way), except for The Romans Approach, oddly enough. I've checked both the mood and war playlists several times while looking for it.
Jyggy 22 Mar @ 1:28pm 
You're doing God's work, man, thank you very much. I won't bother you with more then, thanks again for this amazing mod!
Waffle Souls  [author] 22 Mar @ 12:49pm 
@Jyggy Added all of them plus one more.
Jyggy 22 Mar @ 8:54am 
Thanks! Okay, I may have one more suggestion but it's a pretty big one so you're free to refuse for the time being, depending on how long it takes you to add these to the mod.

Basically, I think a few chapters from Farya's Carrhae symphony (specifically The Romans Approach, The Parthian Empire and MAYBE Charge of the Cataphracts and Blood) would be the cherry on cake.

@Jyggy I've added them
Jyggy 21 Mar @ 1:14pm 
Can I humbly suggest for you to add Majorian and Bleschames the Persian (both from Farya Faraji) to the mod? Didn't know you're still keeping this mod up to date, by the way, that's awesome.

@ÅℭℨÅℽ I was debating myself on whether I should include Leontios. It does sound too much like a fantasy song, but I decided i'd do it anyways just so the mod had more mood tracks. Regarding the call of duty track, I envisioned it would be used for African and savanna battles against Berber's maybe. It sounded vaguely "imperial" but I can see how it doesn't really fit. Thankfully now Paradox added the music player so you can turn off any track you don't like.

love Farya Faraji tracks tho
ÅℭℨÅℽ 3 Oct, 2024 @ 4:42pm 
also call of duty ost doesn't really belong

@ÅℭℨÅℽ Which tracks specifically?
ÅℭℨÅℽ 1 Oct, 2024 @ 4:23pm

@metalsamba Modding music in this game is actually pretty easy. You can read the comment i made February 20 on how to make a music mod. The only differences between then and now is that the volume for music in game is louder than it was back then, and the music files are required to be ogg now.
metalsamba 8 Jun, 2024 @ 8:40am 
Would be willing to add more tracks made by Farya to the respective regions/cultures or otherwise give me an insight on how to mod songs into the game? I've never modded any game so take that into considerations please.

Thanks in advance and for the cool mod.:crusader_helmet:
Waffle Souls  [author] 14 May, 2024 @ 12:06pm 
@ÅℭℨÅℽ The music is too epic for the mood tracks and I already have a lot of war tracks. And to be honest, I just find the Imperator Rome music annoying lol
ÅℭℨÅℽ 13 May, 2024 @ 1:38pm 
Is there a reason for no Imperator Rome OSTs?
Waffle Souls  [author] 28 Mar, 2024 @ 7:34pm 
@ÅℭℨÅℽ They shouldn't be incompatible, not sure what the problem would be.
ÅℭℨÅℽ 28 Mar, 2024 @ 6:09pm 
I can't hear any of the mod's osts because of RICE's music
Waffle Souls  [author] 28 Mar, 2024 @ 5:59pm 
@ÅℭℨÅℽ hmm, I considered using it for a war track when I first made the mod, but it doesn't fit the theme I was going for with the rest of the tracks.

Can you add “You Will Come as Lightning” - Hymn to Constantinople ?
Waffle Souls  [author] 20 Mar, 2024 @ 10:20pm 
@finster check track list in discussions
finster 20 Mar, 2024 @ 6:32pm 
Is there a list of the music used in this somewhere?
Waffle Souls  [author] 22 Feb, 2024 @ 3:16pm 
@Old Pervert I've added the song for mid war instead of holy war declaration, hopefully that's ok.
Daddys Used Buttplug 22 Feb, 2024 @ 1:50pm 
@waffle souls thank you for the help! i do want to add a request too. if you can, i urge you to look into adding the Farya Faraji Psalms 135 for the "declare holy war" for orthodoxy. makes it extremely fitting. thank you again.
Waffle Souls  [author] 20 Feb, 2024 @ 9:42am 
@Old Pervert Go to Paradox launcher. Under playlist or all installed mods find my mod. Then click the 3 dots to the right and click show in folder. next click music, this is where you would put the music files. Then click BRM, if you wan't you can copy the code. For the main theme you'll have to copy the exact file structure I have for main_themes. You don't need to do this, but when you download a song be sure to convert it to OGG. The software I use to do that is Audacity. You can use this to edit tracks if you want. Be sure to turn the volume WAY down because in game it will be loud. You could also look at other peoples music mod files to get even more direction.
Daddys Used Buttplug 18 Feb, 2024 @ 7:12am 
I want to add my own music to the game, is there any tips and or links you can send that shows me how?
Jyggy 8 Feb, 2024 @ 12:14am 
You're welcome, thank you too!
Waffle Souls  [author] 6 Feb, 2024 @ 1:39pm 
@Jyggy Been meaning to do that. Thanks for reminding me!
Jyggy 6 Feb, 2024 @ 11:58am 
Could it be possible to add Belisarius from Farya Faraji's work?
Waffle Souls  [author] 15 Nov, 2023 @ 2:50pm 
@Troliado Dab Sure is bro

@Ar-Abrazân 7 steps ahead of you my friend, check track list in discussion.

Hey Modder might I suggest you use expedition Rome's music???
Waffle Souls  [author] 20 Sep, 2023 @ 11:45am 
@EpirusWarriorμολὼνλαβέ Thank you
EpirusWarriorμολὼνλαβέ 16 Sep, 2023 @ 6:28pm 
@Waffle Souls Yeah I read that too. Im just saying in general because there is lot of misconceptions how it sounds and usually lot of people think modern music is how it actually sounded. But yeah all good, if that's what you like just saying since you wrote for fans of Romans and Byzantines, keep in mind that modern music is post Byzantine/ Rhomanoi and not how it sounded, if anything western church music is bit more close relative to. But otherwise you good.

I usually listen to:

Waffle Souls  [author] 10 Sep, 2023 @ 10:36am 
@EpirusWarriorμολὼνλαβέ That's very interesting, I wasn't really going for historical accuracy (judging by the fact I used Total War music), I was mostly going for the "Roman" and "Greek" feel. I included some songs that used the Aulos and Lyra such as the Avgvstvs - Epic Symphony Because they fit the calm mood, but for the war tracks i had to include songs that sounded vaguely antique but also epic for battle, such as Boulgaroktόnos. He said in the video description that "I wanted this track to reflect both Bulgarian and Greek sensibilities, and the best place for that was Thracian music—a shared cultural style overlapping both Greek and Bulgarian music." I apologize if i made it seem like all the tracks were historically accurate.
EpirusWarriorμολὼνλαβέ 10 Sep, 2023 @ 8:59am 
Boulgaroktόnos - Farya Faraji, these is modern song with middle east/ottoman background, has no correlation with real byzantine music, there is no such song nor music, everything you hear today is post byzantine and had no correlation to real Rhomanoi musi, even latte "Byzantine" Rohomanoi music used harps/ lyra ,organs and bagpipe along chants latter, also Byzantines fought against Bulgarians.

@EpirusWarriorμολὼνλαβέ Which songs are you referring too specifically?
EpirusWarriorμολὼνλαβέ 3 Sep, 2023 @ 6:07pm 
Farya Faraji music is not Byzantine. Is eastern, Persian and Turkish style.

Most of music today and even chants are 10 percent close to what it was. By the time even Louis Albert Bourgault-Ducoudray described it it was already 500 years late and in-existent, or better saying the invaders where playing and he is one of few sources to claim to have listened.
