[Mod] Homeworld music mod for Rebellion.

This mod simply replaces all vanilla music with selected tracks from Homeworld, Homework Cataclysm and Homeworld 2. In my opinion, no soundtrack captures the profundity of space as the Homeworld soundtracks did.

 

Here's the link, have fun! http://www.gamefront.com/files/21839755/Homeworldmusicmod.rar

Simply copy all files in the rar into the sound folder of your Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion directory (don't forget to back up your files should you wish to switch back).

Don't do this! Sins has a mod system for a reason! Never override original files, even if they're just music.

Instead, go to the "My Documents" folder, then "My Games". Navigate through "Ironclad Games", "Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion", and in there you should see a folder called "Mods-Rebellion v1.01 (or current version)".

In that folder, make a new folder called "Homeworld Music Replacement Mod" or whatever you want to call it. In that folder make a new folder called "Sound" and extract the .rar in it (the music files should be directly in the Sound folder). Then go to the main menu, options, and mods tab. Enable your new mod and you have home world music, no need to override base files and you can toggle it off and on as you wish.

Edited. Follow GoaFan77's guide to installing the mod.

Ok, so I'm back, I've searched everywhere, the deepest part of the web even.
And except the mental bruises of things that cannot be unseen, I've found nothing.

I implore you gods and sages of the solar empire, bring me this mod - one of you must have it.
It is literally all I want for Christmas.
:pout:

I would rather preserve the track titles then rename to TEC_Battle1 etc. And keep them HQ mp3 then ogg

Yes, but the bad thing about that is you lose multilayer compatibility I think.

I was hoping that someone here already had the "old" mod,
was not expecting anyone to actually remake it...
That's far beyond the call of duty.

However, if you feel like doing it and have the free time,
it would be very much appreciated!

I own all the games in question, so as far as legality goes I think I'm in the clear.

Here's the link to the file you requested.

Already had all the music for a different mod so not to much work. Just a matter of picking the Quiet, Sad, Upbeat, and Battle tracks. Lots of these songs are real short so I may mix a few together. Watch for a new mod post in a week or 2.

Using the post above for a sandbox to collect info and post some work in progress, like the album cover I just put togerther at  500x500. Working on the text effects to match what's there now.

Link dont work, but I got it sent already.

I was talkin about me modding Rebellion files. As far as the music, its all over youtube and different websites for download so I cant see to much hassle.

Who would have thought that Santa, alias myfist0 hangs around the sins forums.
Perhaps I might get my Christmas wish after all.

And even though I'm no moder/coder/hacker/mixer genius;
let me know if you need any files for reference or whatever.

Great news, and good luck!

:thumbsup:

LOL @ Santa

Mephistopheles (also Mephistophilus, Mephistophilis, Mephostopheles, Mephisto, Mephastophilis, myfist0 and variants) is a demon featured in German folklore. I originally appeared in literature as the demon in the Faust legend, and I have since appeared in other works as a stock character version of the Devil.

Just warming you up to signing a contract  }:)

Then why does he wear a business suit? Then again, bankers probably give you plenty of business. I guess they took the whole idea about selling their souls for profit a little too far... ;)

So is there a safe way to change out the music? This would be amazing to have on DS.

maybe by the weekend 

Not really enough room to list all the tracks on that image, didn't want to cover up the center image. I was going for a gatefold album cover style. soase.x90x.net/Homeworld/Sound

The songs are almost 400mb  8C  and I was going to add some strikecraft voices I had kickin around for a long time. Real airforce battle chatter  :P

 

all info move to

Homeworld - Vengeance
