Drum and Fife Mod by Hollowfaith aka Caligula

[hollowfaith]

Alrighty, I'll be fixing this upload you can still download if you like, but i'll be fixing this one in a jiffy.

As an apology to everyone, I am uploading the Hohenfriedberger March in its full Stereo mix in MP3 format with my new drum sound.

[hollowfaith]

Here it is as promised the Hohenfriedberger in Mp3 format, full stereo, and with the new drums that were supposed to be in the Sweden March of Narva, that which I'm afraid will have to be uploaded tomorrow.

Enjoy and please comment on the new drum sound thanks!

*EDIT* - LOL, just realized I forgot to move my pan knob from the left, so the Mp3 mix for the Hohenfriedberger is just slightly left heavy, but not to noticeable. Man I'm goin' to bed! LOL

Two requests:
#1, could you release a compilation (Ie: All of these in one download pack)
#2, is their any way you could get a good bagpipe march?

[hollowfaith]

@Erunion Telcontar - I will be making a compilation pack in the future when I have at least one song from each faction done. AS for bagpipes, I'm currently wading through Scotland the Brave though I'm having a lot of trouble writing the Bagpipes for it. That should be finished sometime in the next few weeks along with a few other surprises. Thanks for your interest in the mod!

Oh sweet as - didnt see this - yeah the bagpipes are hard to replicate as they can sound synthetic - I have some examples from my bagpipe playing experience since 1984 that I could email to you (or embed her if I knew how...

Nice job, sounds really good. I'll definitely grab this mod once I start incorporating mods into my ETW.

[Erunion Telcontar]

Thanks!

[The Kurgan]

Hollowfaith I have to applaud you - excellent! I used to play the bagpipes and would adore there to be some classic scottish bagpipe tunes with drums because the scottish regiments always fought with bagpipers playing alongside - well documented in the seven years war too.
How about
1.Scotland the Brave and/or
2. the Battle is over and/or
3.A Scottish soldier ?

[BritPatriot1815]

How close would you say you are to applying the music to their individual factions?

[hollowfaith]

Hi BritPatriot1815

I just need to do Spain, Austria, Russia, Maratha, and United Provinces. Then each faction will have one song. I would say maybe a month or two at the most to complete those five last factions. Then I have a lot of requests I would like to do, and then finish up some of my SFX improvements.Though I might just not do that as there are a lot of sfx improvement mods out already. Hope some that helps you!

i know it's a late reply but yeah that helps great job on the British Grenadiers & French march by the way, i'm guessing that the Russian march is the Preobrazensky march is it? Keep it up though

[PubliusKhannus]

excellent news hollowfaith. This is definitely one of my favorite mods to await updates.

[Erunion Telcontar]

Quick question, are the marches faction specific? (IE: We won't have Marathan Bagpipers or Austrian Yankee Doodlers... )

Also, when you release the compilation, will it be able to be activated-deactivated via Mod-manager? (My brother and I both use the same gaming computer and he isn't a big fan of mods...)

Thanks!

Would it be possible that you can make like a "fun pack" version ? Like since there are 4 song files the game uses , put the british grenadiers , lilliburlero , hohenfriedberger , and the swedish narva all in one .pack ? Im not entirely into the game being 100% historically accurate , but some nice variety in the tunes would make it feel more fun .

[EgyptianNecrophiliac]

I made a mixpack 5 days ago... 0 downloads as of yet.

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.

When hollowfaith releases the updated Swedish March I'll make a pack with 2x of that, 1 Hohenfrb and 1 Brit. Gren.

Think you can make one like I described ? 1 of each song ?

[Onkel Tuca]

Aside from the sound issues, I really love your Swedish march! Keep up the good work!

I don't like the Lilliburlero soundclip. The audio quality is so bad, and I don't wanna make and upload a pack just for one person (as opposed to the grand total of 0 who downloaded my mix pack lol ) Sorry.

It's pretty easy to make a custom pack yourself. Just use the Pack File Manager.

lol , its alright . I myself , havent tried the lilliburlero but Ive heard it so I assumed it was nice . But if you do make another one , please dont put yankee doodle .

Just got back from visiting family for the easter holiday.
I'll be uploading the fixed sweden pack in a few days along with a redo of a song or two, I was able to buy a sick percussion pack for my audio app called Truestrike. Trustrike has a large variety of drums and it also contains field drums!! That should be arriving by post in a few days! Stay tuned!!

@Browncoat - Ill be uploading to another provider as soon as I am able. Writing and performing the music for this mod along with my own bands material, plus working a full time job with 10 hour+ days. It gets quite busy.

@EgyptianNecro - Lilliburlero was taken from a poor streaming source from a website, it was done as a request by another forum member. Also thank you for helping people by making Compilation packs! Thanks!

@Erunion - I probably will not make this into a mod from a patch file. Seeing as you are able to play online with the mod in its current state, it should be fine. The only possible reason I would see in upgrading this patch to a mod is if CA made a patch that altered those 4 audioclips in their sounds pack.

@Onkel Tuca - Thanks much!

@The Kurgan - No problems mate, I'll do some searching around for an audio example.

@PubliusKhannus - Thank you for the support! I'm very glad you enjoy the mod!
