Immersive Music Mod

[KingPenguin]

I've collected 14 pieces of Public Domain or Creative Commons-licensed recordings of songs and pieces that were actually written around the period in which the game takes place. In this alternative CKII soundtrack, you'll get some Gregorian Chants, some echo-y recorder solos, and plenty of lutes for a nearly authentic medieval music experience.

How to:

If you just want to add this to the original Waldetoft score, simply drop these files into your CKII music folder.
If you want this to replace the Waldetoft music, drop these files into your music folder, then take songs.txt (the file that came with the original soundtrack) and back it up, putting it in another folder somewhere. The game should now only read from my file, newsongs.txt. Do not replace your music folder altogether, because the game will crash on startup if it cannot find crusaderkings2_maintitle.ogg, which has to play during the first load screens.

Thanks to the various contributors at the Petrucci Music Library for these great recordings.

Thanks! These new musics will be perfect as I was starting to get bored with the original songs. this doesn't mean they are not great, though :laugh:

 

[Zaldax]

Add this to the master mod list?

Great choices, by the way! This is a solid addition to an already superb soundtrack!

Great mod. THanks!

Giving it a shot. Sadly I got file corruption errors. Then the second time DL I got a single song error. I would consider a repack and UL of the file.

Excellent music collection.
@spartan No problem with the file or the tracks, it should be a problem on your end (downloaded and listened to all the songs till end just to be 100% sure, no problems)
Would love to see this expanded with more music

Hmmm.. That is odd but there may be some DNS filtering going on server side. Anyway, my third download worked just fine.

Thank you. I enjoy this flute songs allot. I was getting bored of the original music.

Is there any way to add these songs so they only play when at peace? Because I like it when there are some darker music while you are at war.

Edit: Figured it out. You just have to edit the newsongs.txt

	chance = {
		modifier = {
			factor = 1
			war = no
		}	
		modifier = {
			factor = 0
			war = yes
		}		
	}
}

I can upload my version if anyone is interested?

Guess I'll deliver for Sn3ipen. :laugh:

This version is for adding the IMM songs to the OST, with Sn3ipen's wartime/peacetime modifiers added only for the new tracks. (Search for "#" if you want to see where the new lines start.)

Haven't yet tested it myself, but I think everything should be in order (i.e., bracketing, etc.). If it isn't, let me know, and I'll re-up it.

[Sn3ipen]

I really forgot I promised that. I just wanted to test if it worked so I fired up CK and ended up in a really exciting game with The duke of Leon. Sorry bout that, but @principle have fixed it, now.

 

[zonkie]

Thanks principiis!

This mod is essential, and i think that with the new script it will become even better.

 

[Baldwin XI]

Most excellent! Thank you! It's given the game a whole new flavor. I enjoy Waldetoft's score, but this certainly feels more medieval.

Far and away, my favorite track from this new list is "Gradualia II"- "Puer Natus Est Nobis". I could listen to it nonstop for hours.

 

[Hipparchia]

Thx, i've just played few hours and the tracks are great.

 

[Nedrian]

Great job! Addes to my CK2,very immersive!

 

[RMG]

I love it when games have authentic music, like Victoria I or Civilization IV, so this mod is a godsend. Thank you!

 

[zenkmander]

Thanks! Quick question: Is this mod (and Sn3ipen's text file) compatible with the music DLC? I'm worried that overwriting the default songs.txt with Sn3ipen's might eliminate the DLC music.

 

[KingPenguin]

I haven't purchased any of the music DLC but it must either get added to songs.txt or have its own DLC .txt file in the music folder. Either way you can just add my newsongs.txt to the music folder and that'll keep all the official music and add my own.
