• Anonymity, Emotion, Floating_Paper_bags, and Imminent_Threat are from "Kill the King" by Dugi
• breaking_the_siege_edit is from Alariels_Journey_Music by FaeLord (ported as part of the vghetto port project)
• figght_amp is from TAS_Music, which is music for "The Amaranthine Stone", both by FaeLord (ported as part of the vghetto port project)
• FollowingYourStar, ThoseofUsWhoFight, and TravelstotheEast are from the EpicMusic add-on (in which Heindal packages music by HalcyonicFalconX aka Phyrnna from the Open Bundle)
• heroism looks like it's from both Alariels_Journey_Music and TAS_Music
• night_hunter_edit is from both Alariels_Journey_Music and A_Whim_of_Fate (and then it looks like there's also an "_m" version in Mountain_Witch)
• no_way_out is from FlightToFreedom by MadMax
• onethousandsuns is from the Akladian_Music dependency for A_New_Order; music/readme.txt in Akladian_Music lists the author of onethousandsuns as Tyler Johnson

Wow, nice work - saved me a job, thanks!
Out of interest, how did you search through the content for these tracks?
(I.e. did you search the online archive and/or locally installed UMC etc...)
Just curious.

Thanks again.

Cheers,

I just searched my locally installed UMC...

Edit: Let me link their forum threads here so I can look through them to see if the music was posted there...

Edit 2: important point about the music for Alariel's Journey:

As for the music, I don't know a way around that as not everyone has downloaded all the UMC music packs (and there are a lot of them). As well, pretty much all of the cuts used in Alariel's Journey have been attenuated and balanced (volume-wise) by me using Audacity, so they're not actually the versions you would get from the UMC packs anyway. Those that I adjusted also have different filenames from those in the UMC packs.

Of those, these are the ones not included in any of the UMC Music Book add-ons:

• Anonymity
• breaking_the_siege_edit
• Emotion
• figght_amp
• Floating_Paper_Bags
• FollowingYourStar
• heroism
• Imminent_Threat
• night_hunter_edit
• no_way_out
• onethousandsuns
• ThoseofUsWhoFight
• TravelstotheEast

I would want to know where they came from before adding them though - all the other music that's part of these add-ons provides the author's username and a link back to the forum thread where it was found.

To clarify, what I'm most interested is confirming that they were originally made with the intention to be used in Wesnoth (either UMC or mainline). The reason for that restriction being that these add-ons aren't meant to have just any music that's licensed as compatible for Wesnoth - there's way too much music floating around the internet to try and include it all in music pack add-ons.

So, just a heads up, but I spent some time archiving threads linked to from this thread in the Wayback Machine today, and it turns out that some of the links in the original post that are marked as dead aren't actually dead if you include Wayback Machine copies: http://web.archive.org/web/20230124020153/https://forums.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=37141
(Most of them still are actually dead, though)
Anyways, after doing this crawl, I've now ended up with a bunch more Wesnoth UMC music in my music library, as shown by the attached screenshot:

By the way, the original reason I did this archiving in the first place was because I've been trying to categorize songs from the UMC Music Books into "moods" for TEG, as per this issue: https://github.com/cooljeanius/The_Earths_Gut/issues/11. Any help with this would be appreciated!

In my addons (TDMP resources and survival) I have a folder contains all UMC and mainline musics from BFW 1.0 and 1.2 all with a macro that refer where I found them even if the campaign is regarded as incomplete or abandoned on the server. And I have a file for the 1.4 if you want.
