Here's a small pic of some of the stuff I use to create the mod with...



This is a pic of Scotland the Brave being mixed.

Thanks again Ebusitanus!! More stuff for my research files is always welcome!

New preview video of the Battle (March) of Narva

I just want to remind you that this is a preview and the song is still in an incomplete state. This is to showcase my new drum sound as well. Enjoy!

Wow!

When I downloaded the MP3, I wasn't too sure about it, but seeing it in-game just changed my opinion completely.. Well done, Hollowfaith!

I finished a Swedish campaign a few weeks ago.. Guess I'll have to restart it again soon.. Looking forward to seeing / hearing that Dutch march eventually!

[hollowfaith]

Thanks jarnomiedema!

The mp3 was a very rough version. I had only been working on it for a couple of hours. The march in the video has another layer of fifes that was added, plus some reworking of the drums. The song still has a ways to go yet though! It should hopefully be finished by Wednesday or Friday at the latest.

I'm still fiddling with the drum sounds I made. They are definitely a step in the right direction now, I lowered the back ambient noise so it has a tighter feel to it. The fifes still need to be worked some more, as of now they have an 'echoey' sound to them that I'm not happy with.

This is a cool mod Hollowfaith. It's amazing how something so simple can make such a difference in playability. Looking forward to your stuff in the future (and when someone figures out the whole faction specific thing)

that Vid was awesome thanks for posting. the whole time I was watching it I just kept thinking how hard it must have been to play like that while having musket balls flying over your head and at times through you.

Plus rep for a good post

[Bomberheucki]

i hope it haven't said yet but whaat about to insert bagpipe marches into the sounds of the britons?

[Tico_1990]

Maybe it has been asked already, but I haven't had time to check every post yet (just signed up to the forums ), can I only install one of these packs at a time? or can I have more installed at the same time?

edit: never mind, I already found the answer in this thread

[Enarion]

When are we getting the Swedish one?

Thanks for this great contribution! Keep up the good work!

[El_Diablo13]

i like that one, when are we getting the spanish march anyway?

[EgyptianNecrophiliac]

The Swedish one can't come soon enough!

[EgyptianNecrophiliac]

I made a mix pack with my favorites of Caligula's marching songs.
2x British Grenadier, 1x Hohenfriedberger and 1x American Yankee Doodle tracks.

For those who want several songs in each battle. It can sound a bit messy when units next to eachother play different songs at the same time, but I like the variety.

Quick note; Prussia's gloria Is played on fife and drum, by the Corps of Drums of the Massed Household Division every year at the Trooping of the Colour on Horse Guards parade.

[Dr. Oza]

hi, 2 questions

will this conflict with the smoke and fife mod ?

and also is there a download with all the sounds instead of each individually?\


thanks!!!

[hollowfaith]

@ Jason - Thanks, I am glad you enjoy it!

@ruzenqures - That is on my list of things to do once my workload decreases a little.

@rsharpe - Not even sure what song that is.

@Seraph07 - Once I get a chance, will do!

@Bomberheucki - That is a total possibility. I have bought a program called Bagpipes. Sounds very realistic, so Scotland the Brave is just around the corner!

@Enarion - Read below.

@El_Diablo13 - As soon as I can gather more material to write something, as of now I only have the few vids posted in this thread to go on. I'm currently concentrating on getting sweden done.

@EgyptianNecrophiliac - Good job mate!

@SomeBloke - Interesting, I'll keep a look out for it!

@Efe Pasha - It shouldn't as long as you don't use his music pack. I have not made a mega download as of yet.

Alrighty, well I'm having some issues with the march for Sweden which I just have to plow through to get finished. Its mainly writers block. LOL
I WILL have it finished by tomorrow evening for you folks. So hang tight till then!

-Thank you everyone for your continued support on this mod. Its you the community who gives me the drive to continue working on this!

PS. I write the marches on my own and I try not to use the real thing. I know the real stuff does, 99.9% of the time sound alot better than what I can write in my home studio. My first few releases are not original and are from various audio sources.
