Title: Original Song I made. Post by: arthursucks on September 09, 2008, 09:27:14 PM Being a huge open source geek and musician I saw that OpenArena was missing some game music. After getting my ass handed to me royally online, I decided to try my chops at some melodies.
http://arthursucks.googlepages.com/OA_track01_finished.ogg (http://arthursucks.googlepages.com/OA_track01_finished.ogg) This is what I came up with. I'm not sure if this is the kind of sound you want for the game. I figured something simple that doesn't get in the way of the game play might be best. I currently use Ubuntu Studio for my music and video work. This song was programed in LMMS and then mastered in Ardour. I have the "source" files if anyone would like to see them. I'd love to help, if I could. Title: Re: Original Song I made. Post by: qubodup on September 10, 2008, 02:36:48 AM I think the track is pretty close to perfectly fitting. Nicely dark.
A little more diversity (the beats are too predictable all the time I think) Anyways: If you want the possibility of inclusion in the project to exist, you will have to release the sources and the track under the GPLv2 (or: "GPLv2 or any later version") I would like to hear more tracks from you because as I already said, I find it quite fitting. I believe that only fromhell is able to decide whether or not the track gets included or not. This one might be a good one for the menu? Title: Re: Original Song I made.

but i liked it. the game needs some music. Title: Re: Original Song I made. Post by: damocles on September 10, 2008, 11:41:09 AM Have you tried listening to how it sounds ingame?
(Short version, if you haven't already done this: Zip appropriate files, rename to .pk3, place in openarena-0.8.0/baseoa, and call \music "filename.ogg" in the console.) Do you notice anything a little too far ahead of the beat, about a minute in? Really could work for the baseoa or missionpack menu. See what else develops... Title: Re: Original Song I made. Post by: arthursucks on September 10, 2008, 12:27:05 PM I believe all the samples that come stock with LMMS are included under the GPL. I made sure to only use the stock samples.
I'm gonna give the music a test to see how it feels in game. I was wondering how to do that! :) Thanks! Title: Re: Original Song I made. Post by: qubodup on September 11, 2008, 08:00:22 AM The project file also is source, could you post it? and if possible, find out if the samples are gpl or not.

Title: Re: Original Song I made. Post by: qubodup on September 19, 2008, 06:11:33 AM Okay. For some reason fromhell never explains it, but apparently you have to submit your stuff to this thread (http://openarena.ws/board/index.php?topic=1945) if you want it included.
My assumption is: You will have to find out the license of all the files and write this info in some text file with your release. You will have to include all sources: wav files and the project file of the software you used. Then post it to the svn commits thread as posted above.. PS: I hope that's okay for you. write here if you want help with anything. Title: Re: Original Song I made. Post by: arthursucks on October 11, 2008, 12:24:45 AM Does anyone know if BSD licensed samples are allowed? I want to use the package hydrogen-drumkits. It's not GPL but BSD. If I'm not mistaken that's compatible right?
Title: Re: Original Song I made. Post by: fromhell on October 11, 2008, 12:30:06 AM Modified BSD, yes. Just BSD, no.
