Music change on UO Outlands with T2A songs.

STORY:
Some time ago I found on the net the old Ultima Online music - re-worked tunes from the old MIDI files from UO Renaissance client. The maker is Dinaris Techarin and he says he (re)built every song with some music composition software he developed as a hobby: (uo.stratics.com/content/music/techarinmusic.shtml), (www.angelfire.com/rpg/techarin/). They are EXCEPTIONAL songs, way better in my opinion than the Ultima 9 style songs found in the modern UO. To my joy I see they are now included in the song package of UO Outlands with "2T2A" prefix. In my opinion these songs creates an amazing atmosphere on Ultima Online.

SAMPLE (new): Here is a MP4 video file (HEVC1 codec) with music for dungeon, combat and different Avadon cities after the change (~63Mb): https://mega.nz/file/wegwhIjT#ALXkiWJ3i_n1EGoRp-JX06I25z6_sVqgbdv6KwsusT0

DOWNLOAD: Since the songs are already included on Outlands installer, to have the game play them, only a modified Config.txt is needed. The zip archive containing it can be downloaded from here (~<1Kb): 2022.02.18a_UOO music T2A style Config TXT.zip: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AqtI3rSJQnG_lm5ukiEEaaZNlAYt?e=yO4nAK

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
- Locate UO Outlands music folder (example: C:\Games\Ultima Online OUTLANDS\music\Digital\).
- On "Digital" folder locate the "Config.txt" file and make backup of it by renaming it to something like "Config ORG.txt". Or zip it.
- Unpack my "Config.txt" from the zip you downloaded from the above link and place it on "Digital" folder.

NOTE:
- If you run the game from Outlands launcher, DO NOT patch the "Config.txt" file. Just run the Launcher and if Config.txt is the only one in the list, just click Cancel Patch and launch the game. If there are other files that need to be updated, de-select Config.txt and click Apply Patch. Like this for example:

Enjoy.

And the time is now. Enjoy the improved music pack from the T2A and Renaissance era! See the first post on this thread.
 
I changed the order of some songs that will be played over land. Posted the improved version on the download link in the first post.
 
And finally, arranged the combat music. The pack should be OK now and is available for download from the first post of this thread. I will change it further only if I discover new areas that triggers more songs.
 
Ah, yes, that is an older post and I clearly stated that links from it are down. All songs from that link are already included on your music folder anyway.
 
Thanks for your work on this config. I noticed that songs continue to loop while playing in places like Shelter Island or the combat music and/or leaving combat. Is there a way to force the music to go to another track or randomize to mix it up?
 
I am glad you like it. You can set any song to loop or play just once by adding or removing ",loop" at the end of each track. No, you can't make them play random but you can change the songs in the config file to place other songs instead.
 
With the introduction of Anchor's Rest, a new great song was made. It can be found on ...OUTLANDS\music\Digital\AnchorsRest.mp3 . I updated my custom music "playlist" to have this one included as well, as intended by the devs. Now, I only need to find out where on the map this song will be triggered... :) The new song will play in Anchor's Rest!

If you are using this T2A music theme for UO Outlands, please download the Config.txt file from the ZIP on the first post of this thread and install it as is explained there.

I really appreciate this... I think music is a big part of the overall feel of the game. I was researching about making my own music list and incorporating it into outlands (old EQ music, Baulders gate, etc).. im going to give this a try for a while.. I seem to have the biggest issue with the volume. I have it turned all the way up and I can barely hear it.

A question I have is - Should i have "New Otlands Music" checked in options as well as doing this config file?

Well said!

I do not have any volume issues. I have my music at 35% volume in settings and is fine.

I have "New Otlands Music" unchecked. Is a new option on CUO and right now I am not sure what does it do.

Good luck with your music customization!
 
I love the music of this game, i wonder if we could customize music play by regions other than the preseted by the server. Like if we could customize each dungeons and place's music and so on. I guess thats out of the scope for now, but definetively would be make the gaming experience much more immersive and nostalgic than it already is.
