I really REALLY need a new Battle music idea

Specific events. You can change your music while in Bastok, while in battles, while roaming specific zones, etc.
 
lol some GBH or The Exploited would be great some old skool hard core

I had no idea. Can you shoot me a link to somewhere explaining how to do this?
 
Personally, no. I haven't touched music .dats in a while.

I believe there's a program called... Xing? This will allow you to play the .bgw files, or convert them to .wav, something. That will identify the songs and .dat files.

If I remember correctly you can take any .wav file, rename it to .bgw, and it should play in FFXI. But this is all sparse memory which has never been one of my strong points to begin with.

I'll try and look it up later, thanks though.
 
You know what, I'd try AltanaView. That may have a music-browsing thing built into it, it seems pretty robust.

That Xing program I mentioned was all JP so it was tough at times trying to figure out what button to push (ex: do I press the one with 3 question marks... or the one with 4?!).

Sorry I don't have a more solid answer.
 
I wanted to bring this topic back because I have a music request of my own.

Not battle music, but music for use in calm areas like Saruta or Wajaom. All I really have is a bunch of techno and speed metal stuff, not really good for places I wanna use them it.

Also, I changed my battle music again, and the boat music with something I thought went well with it. Can see here:

The problem I have with swapping area music (except cities and dynamis/besieged) is that the song's timer restart whenever you enter/exit combat. Also, and worse, for some reason the battle music will start at whatever time your new area music will stop when you enter combat... pretty weird :P (If you enter combat at 1:00, your battle music starts at 1:00)

I didn't get the feeling I was looking for whenever I swapped em but if you want to give it a try anyway I'm sure I can find something.

I didn't notice anything of the sort when I swapped the boat and battle musics. Did you use Ximc?
 
Yeah I used Ximc :)

It might be because I changed both Area and battle musics for new songs (not SEs)... Or maybe it has something to do with song lenghts. Like if you use one too long the timer screws up.

A scooby Mystery!
