Wow, nice work - saved me a job, thanks! :D
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.

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:
FaeLord wrote: November 18th, 2015, 12:00 am 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.

To clarify, what I'm most interested is confirming that they were originally made with the intention to be used in Wesnoth (either UMC or mainline).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.

egallager wrote: January 25th, 2023, 1:47 am 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:
Screen Shot 2023-01-24 at 20.42.45.png
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.

Re: Expanding UMC Music

Post by Spannerbag »

Just spent a few hours downloading music packs and updating the author and source details for the various track used by AfterEI.
I assume Epicmusic, UMC music packs and West's Chronicles are OK to use in UMC.

I've managed to fill in the gaps as best I can but the tracks beginning with an asterisk are those that whilst I know which (or one of) the campaigns it came from I know neither the author (composer) of the music nor for certain if the copyright allows use within BfW.

Also many tracks have a source but no author...

If anyone can help me "fill in the blanks" with these it would be greatly appreciated.
I don't imagine there's a problem with any of these tracks but I'd like to credit the contributors for their efforts and generosity.

Alternatively if anyone can advise me of places to look I'd be very grateful.

Here's my list:

Code: Select all

AEI-1				Author (composer)	Source Add-on

* figght_amp.ogg		?			The Amaranthine Stone Music
Flight_of_the_Drakes.ogg	?			UMC Music Book 10
* Floating_Paper_Bags.ogg	?			Kill the King
FollowingYourStar.ogg		Halcyonic Falcon X	Epicmusic
fragments_of_time_cut.ogg	Erik Rijshouwer		UMC Music Book 08
* heroism.ogg			?			Alariel's Journey music / The Amaranthine Stone Music

Thanks - actually realised that but then got bogged down with the asterisks etc... and forgot to check the _main.cfg files for the UMC music packs! :doh:

Finally managed to post this.
These are the remaining uncredited tracks.

I'll download the campaigns and/or contact the content authors in due course - bit busy just now.
I only post this because through_the_gates.ogg is from UMC Music Book 08 and I can't find a credit in Akladian Music?
But then I might have missed something (wouldn't be the first time)...

Code: Select all

UMC Music Book 08 -> Akladian Music
  through_the_gates.ogg

Alariel's Journey
  breaking_the_siege_edit.ogg
  heroism.ogg *
  night_hunter_edit.ogg

Flight to Freedom
  no_way_out.ogg

Kill The King
  Anonymity.ogg
  Emotion.ogg
  Floating_Paper_Bags.ogg
  Imminent_Threat.ogg

TAS (The Amaranthine Stone) Music
  figght_amp.ogg
  heroism.ogg *

* Same music

In UMC Music Book 08, "through the gates" is credited to Mattias Westlund (but the name is misspelled as "Matthias").

Also in UMC Music Book 08, figght.ogg (credited to Telaron) seems to be the same track as figght_amp.ogg from TAS (The Amaranthine Stone) Music. (I'm not sure what the difference is.)

I read that bl**dy _main.cfg several times to avoid doing exactly this (again). :x
I really must get more sleep and stop coding/posting at stupid o'clock (yeah, that's gonna happen).

(-Deep breath-) Anyway, thanks for pointing that out, much appreciated.

Cheers!

@Pentarctagon I think the Wesn.ogg being shipped in UMC Music Book 06 is corrupted; could you try replacing it with the version I re-encoded in the thread for it here? https://forums.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php?p=683696#p683696
