AI Wars Music
« on: February 15, 2010, 11:04:28 pm »
Bit of a strange question, but is there any way I can use the original title theme with the expansion turned on?  I like the non-expansion theme music better, it's more... serene, kind of.

Sure, the original title music is just TitleThem.ogg under the Music\ folder under the main game folder.  For the expansion, the title music is Expansions\1\Music\TitleTheme.ogg.  Simply rename the expansion title theme to something like TitleTheme2.ogg (in case you want it back), then copy the base game title theme over to the expansion folder.

Oh, this brings some interesting ideas into play.
All I need is a way too convert mp3 into ogg format and I can have some hilarious opening themes for AI War.

Conversion from mp3 to ogg (or vice versa) is possible but typically the results are inferior to having converted from a lossless format to either mp3 or ogg, due to the fact that both are lossy formats that achieve their compression by omitting unheard/unnecessary parts of the waveform, and they have different ideas of "unnecessary".

But if you want to give it a try I'd suggest Audacity.

One of the AI wars songs always bring Faith Hill's "Where are you Christmas" song to my head, to my great annoyance.  Similar chords or something?  May have something to do with my having the music volume very loud so I can only hear certain high pitched notes usually.
