Something something music mod pack for X-Com Files that I use in my videos. Kinda WIP. I roughly tried to preserve "XCF vibes" in the ballpark. The mod is compatible with others, Resound specifically. Should be Youtube-friendly, too.
There are three parts to this - ruleset, language file, and the track itself. The tracks reside in the Sound dir; rulesets define the tracks, marking them to be used; and language/xx_xx defines displayable ingame name for tracks. Then the game/mod requests the track in specific situation with with specific name (the ruleset/track one).
Most geoscape tracks from mods (GMGEOxxx) just work. However, X-Com Files extensively uses named soundtracks (defined in alienDeployments rulesets) for its battlescapes, e.g. W3_CALM - plays for most Syndicate encounters. Just naming the theme "GMTACTICSxxx" and expecting it to play in battlescape doesn't work, although the track becomes selectable in the battlescape manually.
But OXCE plays all musics in same prefix-based manner, thus if you define in ruleset several tracks like W3_CALM, W3_CALM2, W3_CALMxxx69420 and W3_CALMyourextendedwarranty, all of these four will can be played at random when battle deployment asks for "W3_CALM". Thus, we achieve multiple tracks for a deployment.
Tested by joining the entire soundtrack and uploading it to You-tew-bee. Flagged tracks are replaced/removed in the Remusic (doesn't touch other mods, like Resound), with something that doesn't alert YT. These are (track-name):
# XCF tracks GMGEO4 - Strategist => Restricted on youtube (!). Rest are `no impact` as of 2023. So, probably, that's all you have to remove/replace, if you need to. AS_2_INTRO - Something something no idea CYBORG_WARRIORS - Cyborg Warriors SW_MONSTER - Siecrist - Intro PREDATOR - Chrispy - Predator THING - The thing! Duh. FRO_PSY - Frontier Psychiatrist
# Evilbl's Music Pack: A lot of these, I didn't bother documenting.
There are some "no impact" tracks in Remusic itself that keep popping up from time to time (the test above proved to be not 100% reliable). These are removed, too, but there still may be some. So if you're paranoid, it's just to be aware of the tracks listed above.
Spoiler DISCLAIMER:
I don't own anything. All tracks used in the mod belong to their authors.
