Is there a way to add out own tracks to the mod music?

How can I delete single tracks? Great mod and great music, the base soundtrack is awful.

Hey @BlueAuran! The audio files in this mod are lossless. Right out of my software in .wav format. This is why this mod weighs 2+ GB.
BlueAuran 18 Apr @ 2:21pm 
shoot, i got the WRONG link in that post down there, that one is to DL, THIS ONE is to one of the Alt Music Mods, and this one is OVER 2Gb so I am pretty sure it is lossless as well...so VERY good compared to whatever MP3 compressed ships STOCK with the game. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3271309568&searchtext=music
BlueAuran 18 Apr @ 2:17pm 
Actually I can see that it is 1.1Gb, is it uncompressed already then>? Also there is THIS to compare it with (there are 4-5 of these if you want variety) https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2916197192&searchtext=music YET this one is like 65Mb, so you will have a LARGE quality difference. THIS can be one of the LARGEST FATIGUE factors over time. As with heavily compressed audio YOUR BRAIN has to made up for all the gaps in between essentially, thus promoting tiring. Anyways, just my two cents from much learning. Glad to have this HUGE MOD on the workshop, the quality must be there, or this thing is like 100 tracks.

Yeah, I got bored with it super fast. So was replacing it or using silence. I will DL this now as I have yet to own x4 (have all the rest of the series tho). So this is like an extra bonus for me, only thing better would be lossless eh? Hey let's just see then, anyway to pull that off? We can get 3x the quality for what you are telling me (as along with ALL of the comments) is a pure superb album!

Must have, it's a real game-changer.

Honestly, considering the limited playerbase of DW2 and therefore small modding community, this mod is incredible. It's not just hugely superior to the base soundtrack, but is a fantastic sci - fi playlist in it's own right.

You can use it mid game. It only replaces in-game music and does not affect your save.

Can you use it mid game or need to start a new one?

I cannot heap enough praise on Nico Guerrero's work here, what a pleasant surprise! Excellent mod that has become the "official" music for the game to me. Slitherine would do well to notice this mod imo

Really could not play without this. Finally encouraged me to turn the music on again. Default is so repetitive - one of the real weak points of the game (still). Awesome job.

Ty the one thing this game is terrible at IMO is the music. It’s awful lol
Hemosis 9 Nov, 2024 @ 3:24am 
You can put whatever music you want. You can find the music folder under your Distant worlds 2 game directory -> data -> music.
You shouldn't mind the "High" "Medium" and "Low" folders in some of the folders. As far as I know they don't really do anything.
Also some of the music folders are ill named. I don't remember which one but I'm sure you'll figure it out.
I do feel you about the eerie and somwhat depressive tracks. If I ever go back to making music for this game I'll keep that in mind.

By the way thank you to all of you! Every time I get a comment it makes my boring working days brighter!

This is incredible, much more comfortable and interesting to play! I wish there was still some this eerie depressive tracks like in the original game, because vast empty space can be scary

This is a literal game-changer. Great stuff.

Thank you for re-posting this! I downloaded it a while back off the DW2 discord server and have been looking for it ever since, amazing tracks. And special thanks to Hemosis for composing these, they have seriously improved the game experience for me.

Great music, thanks.
KurdaBoy 20 Oct, 2024 @ 12:12pm 
This one is a must have. Believe me.
Snaxxor 1 Oct, 2024 @ 11:57pm 
very beautiful tracks, Home in particular gives me chills.
Hemosis 24 Aug, 2024 @ 5:14pm 
Thank you Rye! I’m actually considering writing a few more tracks for this soundtrack
Rye 15 Aug, 2024 @ 6:44pm 
Amazing work, this mod might as well be a requirement:Blisk:
Hemosis 13 Aug, 2024 @ 3:41am 
Thank you for the nice words! I'm glad you are enjoying it!
Caratacus 12 Aug, 2024 @ 9:35am 
I'm listening to it right now. It's fabulous. Many thanks Hemosis.
Hemosis 11 Aug, 2024 @ 5:05am
