HOI 4 soundtrack

[mdw1985]

After watching the video of arumba, especially the last part, i have to say, that the soundtrack is just awesome! The composer did a really great job! Does anyone know, how long this soundtrack is? And does anyone know, if we can import the HOI2 and HOI 3 soundtracks in HOI 4, if we posess both games?

Its not all done yet. we got 19 songs currently in the game ranging between 3 and 8 minutes long though. Its quite easy to mod in old soundtracks if you want to do that.

So are the Devs going to release a sound track mod with Sabaton? It might be good for the Hearts of Iron IV Let's Plays videos.

so when will HOI 4 have its own guns drums and steel music pack? because that is much more... alive i guess?... than the "in character" music.

I really like the few song I heard in the different video of Arumba/Quill. I was tired of listening to the Walkyrie Ride of HoI 3, the songs of HoI 4 seems more varied.

why not music form the time period?

Out of sheer curiosity, would it be legally ok to have Company of Heroes 2 main theme modded in HOI4 if you own both titles?

The Paradox music of late has been quite good, I look forward to HOI4's.

I really enjoyed the the soundtracks I've been hearing in those HoI4 YouTube videos, but of course I'll be importing some of the classic ones as well for more variety.

I don't understand this question. There is nothing "wrong" with modding in ANY copyrighted outside music you've legally obtained into the game for your personal enjoyment. You'll only run into problems if you're broadcasting as a streamer/uploader, but that's an entirely different issue.

So we are looking at at least 80 minutes? That's really really good news

Possible to have main theme uploaded somewhere? Just to make the wait for the game a bit easier. It sounds really good! Please, Dan!

 

[Oddb@ll]

Will it be available on Spotify later?

Not a problem to import, but getting it in an importable format in the first place depends on whether extracting the music from CoH2 qualifies as violating that software's EULA.

Perhaps you missed the legally obtained part of my post.
That game's soundtrack is also available in digital format, with no extraction, software, or EULA involved.
Which comes back to my original point--his question about the legality of importing music INTO HoI4 made no sense to me. As you said so yourself, "not a problem to import."

one of the last humble bundles had the CoH-soundtrack as mp3 (along with the coh games)... So the soundtrack is available, you just have to get it.

How would I change the soundtrack anyway? Tried by replacing the soundtrack in the 'music' folder to a different song renamed to match it, but to no avail.

 

[Moshi]

Putting the music files in the folder is the easy part.

Editing the songs.txt file... That you have to have coding skills. I have no idea what to do there.

It's really easy to do, but this is not the right place to ask. Go ask this question in the HoI3 modding forum.

C'mon guys... monkey see, monkey do. Just copy the same code template you see in songs.txt and adjust the filenames and trigger modifier values.

 

[Moshi]

Problem is figuring out triggers. I have no idea what are they. Yes, I could copy the ones in songs.txt already but there are more so you can customize songs.txt even more!
