Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Is this real life? Is this just a 'Jovian Riddle'?

I'm pretty sure anything Hallur makes would be a great addition.

Considering the couple of Hallur tracks used in lowsec, and the (none?) used in nullsec, could use some new songs built around those areas. Wormhole could use some of that as well.

since a lot of devs are apparently reading this thread i wanted to mention that it would be awesome if you could disable those mission specific tracks. If you are in faction warfare space and activate an acceleration gate the same track will start playing and stop whatever is playing ATM.

i really like eve music, esp the new lowsec and nullsec tracks but i still had to turn it off because was hearing the same track in a loop when roaming. (i remember even CCP Soundwave agreed as he was asked in an interview if this could be done)

I'm sorry to tell you this, but your so called adaptive music is crappy technology and needs an overhaul.
Of course, no need to believe me... and you won't.

I might be the only one who has enough of all the depressing music when docked or moving around
and i might be the only one who wants music that keeps me in mood while i move, when i move.

If you want to learn how to do it right, write a soft synth and implement procedural music creation.
I'm sure the demoscene has made significant advances in this regards,
so I will leave it as an exercise for you to figure things out yourself.

Yes, this is a very arrogant post. Your so called adaptive music is a joke,
dare i say it's a lie you are telling yourself.

Syndicate back in 93 had actual adaptive music. You don't.

I'd appreciate if you didn't unintentionally insult my coding history.


Thanks.


Edit: for some reason this pissed me off more than it should.

Interesting that you mention that, because I don't recall such a poll, and certainly would had answered "keep it" -if just because I've always played with the sound on. Sounds like you asked the "multiclient, sound off" wether they would like to invest in a new music player. Amazingly, they said "no".

Next time try and ask the people actually listening to EVE music and sound effects, could you?

The current musical experience of EVE is utterly boring. Listening to the same 5-6 tracks forever is unexciting to the point that i no longer notice wether music plays or not, it's just become background noise. Some weeks ago, I spent half an hour without music and noticed only when I entered a mission... and that felt like a real low.

I am a extremely aural person. I can't conceive playing games without music, have a extremely good musical memory, and last time i checked I could identify over 15,000 musical pieces after listening to a fragment. I *always* know wether I heard something before or don't, even if I can't identify it. Extrapolating from the tracks I can identify vs the ones I just remember, likely there's like 40 or 50,000 musical pieces stored in my memory.

And CCP totally made my EVE aural experience miserable by removing the abbility to shuffle music in game, and replace it with "elevator music" for each system -the same music forever as i usually will spend several weeks in a same system. To the point that i no longer listen to it, it's become just background noise -and I hate that.

But then someone polled the multi-client dudes who kid about "EVE has sound?, haw-haw" and they said they were OK to not be able to play EVE music within EVE. And here we are.

(And no, external sources don't cut it -I run missions, so listening to their music is a part of the EVE experience... go figure yourself how clunky would be to try and keep the music flow synchronized by alt-tabbing applications and switching EVE music on and off...)

Re: the Soundcloud - a couple of the songs on there are, like, really slow for some reason. Fix pl0x!

Computer > local disk > (directory(s) you installed eve in) > res > audio > jukebox

i think you should add the orchestral pieces to the ingame soundtrack PLEASE

I do like the audio soundtrack like it is without the jukebox, however if there were a "station" mechanic sort of like GTA or Fallout 3 that lets us switch ship audio to one of several "radio stations". This could allow for another mechanic - location-based radio, that notifies you of a unique pirate broadcast in the area, or a broadcast that is only in that part of the solar system or even region-based. Minmitar-related, etc.

This could allow for CCP including broadcasts like EVE Radio or Mad Ani's broadcasts too.

Can you bring in Caroline Dalton for more Aura voice takeovers please? Theres also a few of her quotes not being used but they are in the game files.

calling it procedural was a bit overkill yea, but saying that it's adaptive on type of system, sec status and so on, yea it's adaptive to that.
I'm not saying it's generated, like a huge synth and trying to compete with other games on the area.

I'm just saying that other people than me, decided that certain systems and certain sec areas should have different music.
