Drum and Fife Mod by Hollowfaith aka Caligula

Apparently even though I am downloading nothing, I am downloading huge AVI files....or at least that is what megaupload is saying....guess I won't be trying this mod out.

Thanks for the mods hollowfaith I love the British Grenadier mod. I do however hold one discrepancy with your Yankee Doodle mod. It just sounds so obviously electronic and devoid of atmosphere. You couldn't possibly upload another Yankee Doodle in the manor of recording similar to the other downloads could you? You asked for criticism remember! Keep up the good work.

oh I reckon yankee doodle is dandy mate

hollowfaith, could you make another one for the ottoman march? could you add the HUCUM MARSI for the ottomans instead of the other one? heres a link, the ottomans used this while charging the enemy.

@ Jaguar - Thank you very much! You know I haven't really messed with the files to much other than the march. I did notice the other files for running but always thought it silly for the musicians to be playing while running. Hmmm.. though I could always omit the fife from the drums and speed them, or better yet make drums just specifically for running and all of the other actions. Great Idea mate!!!

@ Sgt Gul - Will definitely take it into consideration when the mod is finished. I plan on doing requests after every nation has at least one march. I'll jot it down into my requests tab!

Oh yea, I'm home for good as of yesterday! I just didn't feel like living in a van or motel anymore so my bro found a replacement for me in his band. Starting tomorrow I'll be back in action modding Empire and Fallout3! LOL

[Jared the Piper]

Oh dont change the Sweden Marsh Music, I love its eerie and dread sound!
It feels like there is a big threat coming from high north, so its definetly fitting!

[Eberstark]

Holy bleeping shait! This is one of the most fantastic mods ever! No more do I have to whistle "British grenadiers". Thanks you so much

hollowfaith i bid you, return!!!

[hollowfaith]

@Britpatriot- LOL, oh im still lurking about and working on music for two other mods not including my own mod and working on my bands demo. I've just been very busy! Never fear I will be releasing something very, very soon!

@La-De - Mate I will have your file back to you in a bit. Though probably not for a week or more, I want to make sure everything gets synced and is not a slop job. The timing is weird in this one and is giving me some trouble, but it WILL be done.

PS - I am yet again at a loss for some sheet music. This time its for Imperial Russia. I was able to locate the "God Save the Tsar" anthem in sheet music which was made in 1833 (?) I believe. I may be able to add drums to some of the actual recorded songs like the regimental marches of the 18th century as I have a few good links, though I'm not sure of everyones take on that. Opinions?

[hollowfaith]

I'm currently working on the Russian "Preobrazhensky" March. I have to go thru note by note and try to figure it out as no sheet music apparently exists in my area, nor can I find it on the net. I have the first little part of it done as close as I can get it at least.

EDIT: Updated first post with a sample of the march as it should sound in game. Hopefully this will be finished in the coming few weeks.

[hollowfaith]

Shweet! Thanks for the link bud!

@Eberstark - LOL, Thank you! I'm very glad you like it!

I'm probably wrong here, but I thought that the prussians also used brass within some of their marches.

If so then the next version of my Drum regiment modification will cater for that, especially with the use of a secondary slot for another music modification.

For those who do not already know:

This will allow for two music mods side by side. (if one is not already enough)
i.e. two for your faction, or one for you and one for the enemy.

First tests of the Factions specific component of the same mod prove fruitful with the first incorperation into Graham's music mod.

I.E. for those who want single channel music in the game I would recommend the Drum regiment mod in addition to the sound mod that they are currently using to improve the gameplay.

Would reccomend it to all (and if you see this Hollowfaith please tell me what you think)

Best of luck
May the great music from all continue!

Rusty.

@Rsty Bloodnok - As far as I know about the prussians is that.. I have no idea! LOL. To be honest from what I have read is that almost all armies used brass instruments during battle. There were even specific brass instruments used to signal for specific actions such as flanking maneuvers etc.. I choose not to add brass into the mix because of one thing, no brass players in the units made it look crazy which was already bad enough with out a Fifer playing the fife. It would not be to much trouble to create brass setions for the orders such as charging, or running. I don't think brass players running and blowing thier horns would even be really possible in reality... could it?

I think it sounds awesome to be honest , but I think my days are almost numbered here as there are quite a few decent sound and music mods that are far outpacing and performing what I have done. Though I will continue to work till each faction has a piece of marching music, after that is anyones guess.

I play the Trumpet and Euphonium
Yes it is barely possible to run and play, but not under those conditions. It is extremely difficult on tarmac. On uneven grass it is effectively impossible.

But marching on the other hand is definitly available.

It seems to work very well with the Prussian marches.

Does anyone know how the Yankee Doodle of the following You-Tube link could be recorded as a sound file from the video?

I love this version of Yankee Doodle. The drums are powerful and inspiring!

This would be a great version to add to the sound mod.

Thanks.
