Drum and Fife Mod by Hollowfaith aka Caligula

[hollowfaith]

2010 Favorite Empire:TW Miniature Mod Award Winner! Thank you!


I'll be uploading something here in a bit, now that I finally got Empire to run smoothly with no crashes for the last week.

My mod does work with the 1.5 patch!

I decided to return to modding for empire. I feel I may offer the community more than what I had already given. I noticed there are a lack of pure drum cadences for those who prefer not to listen fifes in battle. I hope that you'll return and find some use for these.


Megapack - I hope this finished uploading because my puters browser decided it was time for me to get off the net and crashed. So any problems let me know! This mega pack includes everything I have released for the mod and I included the Hohenfriedberger Marsch in its original Stereo Format as I wrote and recorded it. The process to include music into empire requires you to convert down to Mono, which kind of kills the tracks and makes them seem flat. Enjoy!

8/1/2012 - New Link because Megaupload is dead. Let me know if it works for you guys. I'm also working on some new custom marches, and some new orchestra pieces for the menu and in game. They are coming soon...

+TalonMercenary hey can you help me ? i think i have hollowfaith's drum and fife mod and it has the following files. Drum&FifeMod_American.pack, Britain, french,french drums, generic,hogen,lillibulero,ottoman,prussian and sweden... and one mp3 file Hohenfriedberger Marsch.

my problem is that during a battle my british troops would play "Sweden - Nylands och Tavastehus Cavalry March" and would only play "British Grenadiers" sometimes. and my enemy the USA is playing the same sweden music and sometimes the Yankee Doodle... but sometimes when the enemy USA marches alone it plays the "British Grenadiers".... what a mess xD what did i do wrong here ? i applied the pack files... do i need to change some scripts ?

[rage690]

Never mind about my last i was stupid... i enabled all packs from this mod >_< the last pack was Sweden so no wonder i get the music. i also realized that the game can only play up to 4 music for each action ( or maybe randomly picks 1 from 4 ) but they don't have the option to play musics specific to a faction. so if you chose British from the pack it will play British even if you are playing ottoman. so i picked my 4 favorites which are

USA - Yankee Doodle
Great Britain #1 - British Grenadiers
Prussia #1 - Der Hohenfriedberger
Prussia #2 - March of the Hannoverian Grenadiers

and renamed them to emp_cus_snare_march_01_v1.00_gme up to march_04 .... some other actions aside from March include Charge and Roll which i also replaced using the same set of music hence renaming them to emp_cus_snare_charge_01_v1.00_gme up to Charge_04 respectively.

can anyone tell me how to remove the Mouse Over Markers ? i can disable the Selection Markers from the Option but when i mouse over a unit it gives a partial green marker. i wish to totally disable it.

Hey, for some reason the mod isn't in megapack won't work, could you please send me the mod folders or at least tell me why its been removed?

[Dayman]

Pretty awesome dude. +rep.

Now I don't have to have youtube videos of marches running in the background

[angelangelv2]

I can't seem to download anything from megaupload.

[Remo]

You should probably try to get them in a type of patch file instead of overwriting the whole sound file.

Where did you geet your avatar from? just curious Btw trying mod now

[helmersen]

Why do we need to download that Pack File manager? Cant I just copy it to my folder?

Because the way hes doing it, it's much harder.

There is a way to make a patch file that is much easier on less mod savy people, which is what I was reffering to.

[Tunch Khan]

Excellent addition. Thanks. + rep

[hollowfaith]

@ Remo - I'll look into it, was unaware that you could make a patch file! I'm kind of new to modding so thanks for the suggest!

@Everyone who gave me rep! THANK YOU! Its the community who makes working on this mod enjoyable!

Sneak Preview Movie of the Ottomans Field Music Pack. The song is almost finished, I have a few more things that need to be done to it but at least this gives you an idea. Enjoy!

theres any single download with the all packs in just one ?

[sabaku_no_gaara]

Maybe you and Mech_Donald could work together to see if you can make your marches faction specific! I loved that Hohenfriedberger march by the way

EDIT: yay I repped you your first ring

[hollowfaith]

@sabaku_no_gaara - LOL THanks!

@Ataegina - I will be making a mega download with all of my packs I have done to date in a few weeks. Right now my time is being sucked away on the Ottomans and Sweden Music Packs.

@Remo - I have figured out how to make patch files. My downloads will be updated and converted to the new format for ease of installation! Thanks!

Thanks, now etw starts looking cool, since nmusic is a important part on this period of warfare, nice drums, nice music and alot of musket fire

[Inquizitor]

Now if we could just make it all faction specific.

[Aykis16]

Ya, I've tried looking through the files to see if I could find anything about faction specificity but I haven't had any luck yet. I don't think we'll make any headway with that until CA releases some mod tools.
