pour les factions du Bien, du Mal et pour les deux avec quelques musiques
spécifiques à chaque faction.
J'ai testé ce mod and il est super (j'attends vos commentaires)

I add a sound fix for those who have problems with voices , install all the text files in the Medieval Total War 2 data folder ( not the Third Age data folder)

Can we have a detail of what music you used? It would be useful so that we don't have to download the whole package to find out. Merci.

[ralfsolo]

Well it is LOTR music style , I'm making (I try ) a ingame video for youtube right now

[TiFlo]

Good. I just hope that you didn't use too much (if any) copyrighted music, or else you might have to take it down. Samples are fine though, I believe that's what they did with the TATW soundtrack.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to see what you have for us.

[ralfsolo]

Well there is no more copyright stuffs than there are already on this fantastic mods which is a NONE commercial version of a game

[ralfsolo]

The files are on , I will test it better these 2 weeks

[_Tartaros_]

i will definitly test your mod ingame!!

[Darch]

Downloading now, thanks for the effort!

[Stroffus]

Thanks for this love the tunes and movie echoes Just what the mod needs

[Berserker1]

The seventh file is corrupt... Why do I have to download 7 separate files.

[ralfsolo]

Hello, you should download the part 7 again, this should work as other people said so . I have cut it in 7 part because I had problem to upload the all thing at once. If you have problem I will upload it a second time in an other site.

[Darch]

Downloaded three times now, and I'm getting the same error as Berserker1. Must be something I'm doing wrong if others have gotten it to work....

Anyway, what's Megaupload like these days for file sharing? Think it used to be a 1GB upload limit?

[ralfsolo]

I'm upload it in megauload , will be ready pretty soon
---ready, check the first post

[ralfsolo]

You can pick the files which were corrupted for you at Megaupload as they are in the same order

[Darch]

Thanks ralf, was able to extract successfully from the Megaupload downloads. Listening now.

Could someone maybe post a little review? I will try it out possibly (although I have added lotr music to the mod myself, for personal use of course).

I'm only about 20 mins into the file, and so far it's all been parts of tracks from the OSTs. To be fair, I can't really judge how effective ralf's use of these tracks has been as I'm just listening, not actually playing a campaign, so I don't know where each snippet is being used.

But, like yourself, I've already done this with my own copies of the OST.

[glassakias]

ralf, i have to admit i was rather sceptical when i read your post. however, i have to admit you' ve done an excellent work. every piece fits pefectly and it must have taken ypu hours.
+rep for your professional work. i have to warn you, though, that all of these pieces are copyrighted, and some of them are long. i am not sure you are allowed to post them, so your thread might as well be closed

[Berserker1]

Thanks, well try, I have my own, which is basically a mixture of warcraft soundtracks with lord of the rings soundtracks. The music in vanilla is really bad in taste, sounds so generic, so why do they put that music in there? The music is like a non sequitor, or designed to be a nuisance... If you just listened to the music, you would not download this nice and wonderful mod. Oh well, I understand they can not just use someone elses copyrighted music, but what is the vanilla music? It is plain and boring, it should be deleted completely from the studio from whence it came!

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Not that, there is anything wrong with it... Also, I really could not think of anywhere were you could get uncopyrighted music that would fit

[ralfsolo]

Thanx, the mod was intended for my friends and me in first instance, I tried to put the samples to fit in the right moment in the campaign , also like it is a non commercial mod and the files are packed , if I can please few people more...
