[FVG]: Music

[Jeff Rodriguez]

I have a friend whose a techno junkie. I know he has written and mostly recorded one song, and that was awhile ago. I'll try to get in touch with him and see if we can use his song(s).

We could do that, and not necessarially complexly. We could just force the user to put the paths into a text file (we could have an in-game interface), one per line, then just randomly select one and play it. It would obviously have to be in only a few restricted formats, but, hey, you'll get over it.

We could use Winamp v2.9, There's a messaging interface for it. There's even VB samples to do it!

just got to the thread sorry =P... but a friend of mine has a band... actually... im good friends with 3 local bands... 1 punk, 1 is kinda .. dunno... not really a band but w/e... and one hardcore/metal band... i could easily get thier work if you guys wont some...

i like the sound of the mp3... maybe just make a lil better transition so it flows more smoothly... i put it on a 0sec repeat time and it just seemed to diffrent from end to start over... just IMO...

Dori was kind enough to host the 43 second version I made. It is at:

Hmm... that sounds extremely familiar. So much that I had to go look it up and see where exactly it was from because I had definitely heard that before. After searching all of the projects in Fruityloops I came across this repeating mp3, and it sounds as if yours just adds a tapping to this pre-made loop.

Here's a link to the FL project file in mp3 format, hosted on my server.

okay I'm guessing we'll have to make another mp3 file for the menu music.
I'll see if I can download a music maker to make something..
sorry about that, impulse3D

Sorry about that. A friend of mine told me that he had made it and that all I needed to do was change the sound slightly for him to give us permission to use it. I didnt think to look in the FL project folders.

Anyway, I've emailed the creator of that clip asking for permission to use it in the video game. I'll post it here when I get a responce.

Sorry again.

No problem guys, just making sure you knew that it was a loop that came with FL Studio this way when copyright/permissions stuff are addressed it wouldn't end up as a rude awakening.

Yes. considering that my name is on the SourceForge page and the IRC channel, and Brandon owns this server, I'd say if they sued us it'd come down to us two.

As long as it doesn't trace back to me... j/k

Thanks Impulse3D for the warning

[Heretic121]

ok... i do have one bands songs... but a few things...

#1 they were taped live so the quality isnt that good, and they have intro's to the song... so they arent that good... and they just lost thier backup guitarist this past saturday in a car acciedent, so im not sure if they will replace him, or just quit, im not sure... they did cancel a huge show where they were 2nd/3 bands playing up in Providence in some nice cight club... so im not sure... =/...

ill host them on my ftp later when i get a chance in the next two days... *goes looking for the link* and then also they do swear just fyi lol...

on top of that... i think the menu music should change everytime you load the game... and have a playlist(like EA04/05 sports titles) rather than a looping mp3... because honestly... after playing games for a week... the first thing i end up doing is shutting of the menu music because it gets annoying and repeating...

just all IMO =D

[Heretic121]

here you go =D

*warning* some swearing in some songs... some worse than others...
*warning* kinda crappy quailty =P

[Dorienne]

If anyone knows of any bands that would like to allow us to use their music in the Video Game, please PM me or email me: dr3amingendlessly@yahoo.com. We really need a lot of music so please let us know what you can spare. Thanks so much!
