Re: Ultima 7 Black Gate Soundtrack Remake

I'm noticing a lot of these older songs I went the lazy route on and used really cheap instrument libraries instead of the nicer stuff I used in the Serpent Isle songs. I may need to do more than just a simple remastering. I may need to re-record a lot of these. So this will take longer than expected.

Re: The reason for the LB anti-cheater room

So is there a second method in Trinsic to get to the cheat room? Or was it changed to the blacksmith roof and the old one was deleted?

Also, does he know about the chest south of Trinsic that's filled with all kinds of loot? Or is that even considered a cheat?

Putting it into the patch folders keeps it from overwriting or replacing other songs, like the ambient tracks. I didn't do any ambient tracks (birds, trees, wind, waves, rain, etc.). So for example..

Thanks. :)

Now that this project is complete I'll continue work on finishing my orchestral remake of the Ultima Online music. I think UO uses OGG or MP3 music by default now, so it's easier to use the remade songs. I know they updated the music, which sounds nothing like the original MIDIs.
