||Q&A||
-------
Q: How come some music is arranged odd or some is missing

A: Due to the program used, there is a limitation which makes it to where only one song can be place in a level. Once this limitation has a work around then this mod will be updated.


Q: How come the ending music is unchanged?

A: Due to the program used no ending song can be added, this will be corrected once a workaround is found or the tool is updated


Q: How come some songs have an imperfect loop?

A: Due to how some songs are, some songs don't have a perfect loop and have pauses at points. If or when this can be solved it will.

Trying to get the files working here but they don't wanna upload

[6647e8f26eafcToaste]

Care to upload it somewhere else, like gdrive/droppox/gamefront/mediafire? nexus is slow for such uploads, and it's slow on purpose.

Toaste
Sure I'll see what I can do

[6647e8f26eed2Toaste]

So I tried to unpack the mod paks with Fmodel to get some tracks and mix or edit paks to make custom soundtrack.
I see that each pak has directory in System Shock/Content/Sound/Music/CustomMusic where are placed some playable and exportable tracks, but in every pak there are only original tracks, with the exception of main menu music in some paks. So where are the new tracks which mod actually adds into game? How do I get the .ogg files for tracks used in these mods?

I wish I could say, but I used this tool:

So I've installed music tool, then I downloaded repak, then I downloaded unpack, then I installed Rust, also installed VC build tool. After a while I understood that it was me being a noob with Fmodel, and If I just wanted to extract tracks from these .paks, I could've just use Fmodel instead all of these installed tools, i just didn't know how to utilize it properly.

I'd be delighted to see - or rather hear I suppose - how it is like! (still didn't buy the game, yep..)

[6647e8f26f62eXkilljoy98]

The mod tool won't let you add ending music, but they said there is code to add that as an option, but I hadn't figured out how yet
