So no one has actually tried the mod, since it didn't replace the into, elevator, or ending music.

(Did replace cyberspace, because even though the replacement wasn't bad, it was missing half of the track.)

I'm thinking, maybe it's a bit too soon to think about that, but a variant of this mod which doesn't replace everything would be great too, for example the new intro/outro music are really great I think, same with the new cyberspace music and the elevator theme.
Pretty much all the rest could be replaced though.

Here is all the music files from Citadel which should be 1 to 1 with the original DOS CD midi markers segments (as extracted from my personal CD of course).  I forget the soundfont I used.  I'll have to look later and add the info for my conversion process and tools.

Anyone is of course welcome to use them if they like. I assume SSR has dynamic music system similar to the original from what I've read, where it randomly plays different snippets as part of calm and action and the original layers in the mutant or cyborg warning snippets which interestingly can be used as a sort of metal detector for nearby enemies if you knew what those bloopy whiny sounds meant, heh.

Xkilljoy98 Apparently they used Chromium Rev A... which unmodified is completely out of place volume wise.

So, someone else has made and released a mod to do this.

Attempt #3.

Adjusted the timings for Research and Executive so that they don't start playing again on top of themselves.

Also greatly lowered the volume of music while playing voice overs, from 70% to 33%. (That does actually seem to work?)


That's all I'm going to do for right now.  If someone feels like doing a bit of testing, it would be handy to know if the music works on Maintenance, Storage, and Flight, and also to check if the music loops correctly, or if it overlaps or has gaps (and, if so, how many seconds it's off by.)

Huh, interesting, well hopefully it isn't long before it is figured out how the music works so people can easily swap out any music they like

Interesting, I wonder what causes all of that?

Maybe deck music settings?

Oh I just recalled, in case you really want to use my soundfont with the arranged OST and not the in game tracks (for some reason), you're going to need the complete thing and not just the selected instruments, so here it is: https://mega.nz/file/jshBTLbZ#JZKCppCM7hC1MQVixuPFmRRgV6OCUWEJn-ocM0Qzfng

Note that volumes can be a bit over the place since even the full General MIDI set is balanced for in game play, I was mixing in real time on my second monitor when I was recording my video lol.

He has given permission to use his music for a mod

Well that's promising allright! Maybe he would be interested in doing the arrangements himself? (that would be even better)

Nameless VoiceThat also works, tbh as long as a version is made then that is good, after that we can swap out the tracks and make different versions

I think for the initial attempt, I'll just use the midi sounds rendered with a soundfont.  We can make other variants once everything is working.

I was poking about with the audio volumes.  As far as I can see, it's supposed to automatically lower the volume of the music when a voice over is playing, but it doesn't seem to actually work.

Deu sexYeah IK?, we had an interview with him when it came out, one of my fav SS1 covers/remixes

Very true to the original, but enhanced as well

The security track especially is one of my favs

Now you see why I wanna use those versions for SSR as I think it would be a good fit, I just need to figure out how

Probably stay here as it's a work-in-progress.

Are gameplay mods possible?

I would like to make a mod to prevent the game disabling spawning entirely when deck security is 0%. Obviously it should slow down, but not stop completely.

ALSO, for the music mod stuff, I feel like it will work better if the tracks are mixed in a way that's more ambient and dark/slow, rather than just porting over existing versions, because the remake is quite a bit darker than the original, so a more tense, scarier soundtrack makes sense.

I mean it isn't that darker, scarier, or more tense

Tho a music mod that mixes the original tracks into the existing ones could be neat

Tho in any case the final version is less darker than previous demos and plus playing the game with the original music works better than you think it would

Some are, depends on which parts of the system are written in C++ vs which ones are in Blueprints.

I don't have the skill to make remixes of the soundtrack.

Thankfully a lot of people have already made remixes and covers

Now, the real debate is which version or remix of the music should I be using for this mod?

Just some stuff I've recalled when was watching this video. Really hoped for the remake ost to be something like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHg-E1JMKiQ

One thing I noticed is that the music drowns out the emails/audio logs if played at 100%.

On the one hand, I'm a bit surprised that they don't automatically lower the volume of the music while logs are playing, but on the other hand the default music playback volume was 25%, so I guess they didn't see it as necessary.

Yes, it's possible.
Quite a bit of hassle, but possible.

Now, the real debate is which version or remix of the music should I be using for this mod?

I don't think the original midi audio would fit (though maybe one of the soundfont-rendered versions), so perhaps some remix?  Maybe the Chicajo mixes?

This example is the Medical bonus track from the Mac CD version, but that source only has Medical and Reactor.


In theory I could make different versions, but it's a bit of fiddly work to set this up.

---

1) Each level has a number of different audio sequences and rules for playing them.  For this, I modified the list and removed all but one and made it play always.
2) The sequences will happily play over each other multiple times if you don't set the repeat timing correctly, and the repeat timing is in "time measures", with no real context as to what those are
3) Each level also has a "BPM" value, but it doesn't seem to relate in an obvious way to the time measure.  Medical has a BPM of 55, but the time measure seems to be a little over four seconds.
4) I then had to create a new music asset (which I made by creating a new project in UE4.27, adding the music file, packaging the project, extracting the packed music file from the new pak file, then editing the extracted file to match the parameters for SSR.
5) I then had to modify the level audio sequence to use this new music resource instead.
6) And finally package it all up in a new patch pak.
7) Edit the volume of the level's music (it was set to only play at 25% volume for Medical.)

That's a quick summary, it took a while to figure out how to do all of that, but should at least be quicker for future attempts.

In any case, I've attached a version of the mod for Medical.  I haven't done much testing, so I wouldn't be surprised if strange things happen when entering/returning from Cyberspace or other decks.

To use, go to "System Shock Remake\SystemShock\Content\Paks\", create a subdirectory named "~mods", and drop the pak in there.
