Maybe you can provide some insight on this: Secrets told me that there is a bug in the Titanium client that doesn't play the pickchar.mp3 during character selection. You know a way around this?

I'll take a look in a couple hours. Maybe it's not being referenced in the correct character picker zone .emt file.

Titanium had a few glitches like that where they rushed unfinished/buggy things out for disc shipment, with the understanding that they could fix the problems later with the patcher.

Appreciate it!

It works!!!!! I did a test for the kelethin theme, and everything you said was spot-on. However, after I leave the specified area in which I want the files to play, the music just cuts out with no fade out. Would you possibly have any idea of how to make the music fade out so the themes are seemless?

If that's supported by the client, then it may be one of the 0 / 0.0 / 1 / 1.0 options that it isn't clear what they do. One of them may be a fade level or speed. Would take some trial and error experimentation to see.

Testing those parameters now to see what they do. I'll report back. Do you know which emi file governs the death theme?

It appears that the files are referenced in soundassets.txt. What ties an individual race and event to a particular sound file (how the client knows to play sound 1157, or gbl_dth.wav, when a goblin dies, for example), isn't clear right off-hand.

Aha, and right after I said that, I found it.

The game has such data recorded in racedata.txt.

Race # 369 is the new goblins, and the goblin sounds from soundassets.txt (3457, 1155-1158) are included in the many unnamed fields in racedata.txt for that race.

Parsing racedata.txt might be very interesting, when one can find some spare time for experimentation.

If you're wanting a reference of races, I have a race inventory available online:

Good stuff, thank you. I'm not really concerned with replacing those sounds. I'm just concerned with the music themes. When the player dies is what I meant. It plays that MIDI death theme that I would like to replace as well.

Haha, that's it! I had forgotten I deleted the file to play the XMI version. I'll just replace that file with the redone classic theme! Thank you

Did you ever get around to looking into the pickchar.mp3 bug?

Once I got home from work I had to deal with some paperwork stuff with the new owner of the place I'm renting. Boring, boring, yadda yadda. Should have time to look at it here pretty soon.

Alright, I fired up Titanium, SoF, and RoF2 clients and connected to my local eqemu server, and all three behaved exactly the same music-wise for character select. They all played the short main EverQuest theme.

However, I had to turn music on for SoF and RoF2. I don't know whether I turned the music volume down to 0% myself at some point, or whether they default to 0% and you have to turn the music volume up in order to hear music.
