Of Skull and Bone is growing on me. The more I listen to it, the more I like the subtle notes and feeling.

Can I change the musichq.lua to play Rounds of Hell 1, 2, and 3 for their respective waves on Hell's Arena?

[Simon-v]

Not at the time, as far as i know. It's planned, though.

This OST actually kicks some serious ass.

Was wondering:

Did all of those terrific music tracks, actually make it to 0.9.9.7 in-game , and secondly as good quality ?? (Meaning ogg or flac and not mp3)

[Simon-v]

Most of them did. Rounds of Hell, in particular, weren't included because the infrastructure for them wasn't finished in time. The HQ version, unfortunately, ships with the MP3 versions, which are known to not loop properly. As a workaround, you could grab the OGG files from their download page (http://simonvolpert.com/music/) and search-and-replace the extensions of every one of them in music.lua or whatever. A bunch of scripts to do something like that are floating somewhere on the forums (http://forum.chaosforge.org/index.php/topic,5254). Me, i have my own config file (https://dl.dropbox.com/u/23785083/musicmp3.lua) which i just drop in every time i get a new version.

Nice I'll try it when I get home, thanks for the instructions and for the great tracks. :)

I have built a newsletter system to keep all who are interested updated on new music releases. It is a fairly clever hack with some of the basic functionality of mailing lists - un/subscription, verification, recalling of subscription details, and GPG authentication for posting. Any notices on new releases will be posted there first and then cross-posted to this thread. The mailto link for subscribing can be found on the music page of my website (http://simonvolpert.com/music/). The links for the other operations are properly advertised in the message headers.

This pleases me. Where's it from?

[GinDiamond]

I made it!

I took the album cover art you made and changed it a bit (so it looked better on the CD). I then got all the FLAC files you had on your site and burned them losslessly to the disk. I then made a jacket for the case and gave it to my little sister for her birthday yesterday (she loves the music from the game).

Oh my goodness!  That is so sweet of you!

Simon-v, you have a [known] big fan now hahahahaha...

[Simon-v]

I second that.

Pity the album is missing one last track or two.

[GinDiamond]

what's it missing?

Oh, are you going to do some music for Halls of Carnage, Spiders Lair, and others?

That would be cool.

[PFL]

When the album is finally finished you should definitely sell it as a CD old skool stylee. :)

Seriously though, I would definitely buy a copy if it had nice artwork.

[Kornel Kisielewicz]

We'll get the artwork, and I suggest Simon-v to put it on sale on Bandcamp of similar.

[Simon-v]

I thought about it. There are enough services out there that specialize on on-demand production of this sort of stuff. However, that's for physical media, which i can't produce in a quality high enough. With digital downloads, the situation is different. Why not just "steal" the tracks, then send me money directly, bypassing all the middle-men?
