Improved Replacement for Title Music

[agentx5]

1. Comment / Sharing Info
I found the one for the Hero/Vigilante side, a more epic version of the "Rise of Heroes" theme made by OmniousVoice (made 7/28/2010) that plays when you are at your character selection screen:

 

a) If you put this file in the following directory in your CoH folder

For me it's A:\COH\data\sound\Ogg\FrontEnd
For y'all it'd be something ...data\sound\Ogg\FrontEnd
 

b) download the file from here
http://www.mediafire.com/file/01peu56t3zsltal/OminousVoice_Orchestral_Epicness.rar

 

c) convert this file to .ogg and rename as h_menumusic_loop.ogg

i.e.: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/602168758403989581/756360690444271676/h_menumusic_loop.ogg

 

d) put that file in the FrontEnd folder you created on step #a

 

e) load up game to test, you should hear it when you music volume is turned up (I know some of you leave your music at 0%...)

 

If you're wondering what this sounds like before doing the above steps, here ya go:

 

 

 

 

2. Question / Need Help
I cannot for the life of me find the correct file in any of the .piggs for the villian menu theme music.  It sounds just like "TheHardWay.ogg" for V_StMartial, but has more of a "wind" sound on the front.
Does anyone know where that'd be?  I have a .ogg file I want to use for the overwrite, but I've looked everywhere for the file and can't find one that works in-game.

Liking the replacement music! You might want to take a look at @The Philotic Knight's CoH Modder Tool, which makes it easy to package your sounds as a mod and have them widely available to all who use the program. 😉

 

(As a completely unrelated side note, the last time I used "A" for a drive letter was on a floppy disc. Good times.)

Not my kind of thing.  But thanks for doing this.  These mods are awesome.

Seriously though does anyone out there know what & where the villian menu theme music is called specifically?

Can't do anything with rare.   Could you share it as zip instead please?

I found this https://archive.paragonwiki.com/wiki/Music .

 

Take a look at the bottom under "Miscellaneous".  When you click on one to listen to, take note of the end of the link name in your browser.  Hope that helps.

excuse me, can you share these files in a different format?

Is there any way to open all the files together? I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I want to use the files from your post, but apparently, I am making some obvious mistake that does not allow me to do this. I make music myself, and I need to be educated in different areas of this hobby to be aware of the news and make modern music about modern problems. I was even advised to contact the artist pr service to let people know about my work as soon as possible.

dBpoweramp is a great free program if you want to make your own sound mods. I use it to convert other formats to .ogg. Very easy.

I have been using King Crimson's "Sheltering Sky"  as my login music for so long, I literally forgot I replaced the original music.
When Homecoming came along, I still had my old /Data folder, so i just dropped it in with all my old mods.
