Star Wars: The Old Republic Game Rip

post #311 (http://forums.ffshrine.org/f72/star-wars-old-republic-game-rip-105242/13.html#post2260048)

And before VGM Legacy and Aplha23 too.

Especially Good Guys Arrive… It sounds so heroic.

Now, we need… someone to keep us up to date too – as the updates will release more music, right?

EDIT: I also tried to do this back in the days using scripts from Xentax but failed, where’s the functional tool?

Many thanks for actually posting this, SWFan!!

Thanks!!!

Holy crapola, this is awesome!!! Supposedly the ROTS score is now near complete minus a few cues. AOTS is also nearly complete now with this release!!

Many thanks for actually posting this, SWFan!!

Heck yeah! We’re a hell of a lot closer than we were before. I’d say about 90%-95% is what we have now, only minor bits and a few cues are now left.

The interesting thing is now we have a truckload of AOTC music too, even if it is the film stem versions.

This one’s not finished yet though.

This one’s not finished yet though.

This is still very helpful for us because it allows us to narrow it down to exclusively TOR music!

Seriously, that’s a lot of music. I’m really only interested in the new TOR stuff, so I think I might leave the sorting to other good folk who will hopefully be kind enough to eventually share the result of their efforts. But I’m very, very happy that this stuff is finally out there! Thanks for sharing!

We have a spreadsheet for what is prequel music but that’s it – if you’re looking for TOR music it’s pretty much useless, methinks.

Can i put this tracklist somehow into MP3-Tag or something?

This is… is… is.. really nice mate! damn! thanks to the ripper and uploader and poster 😀 whoohaa!! i love you! xD
Back to work! XD

They’re all one guy 😉

Well that’s a shame. I missed out on all of the Galaxies, TFU1&2/BF files so I can’t do any editing myself. Hopefully, somebody will at some point post more complete AOTC & ROTS scores using these new music cues. Let me know if you ever change your mind or at least steer me to where they may eventually be posted.

Thanks.

How do you know?

Hey Andrees, can you post that rip here?

Btw, i converted ALL of the music files in the games. They probably dropped tracks for the official release.

Hey, I am not an expert on online games, I forgot that some people get early versions.

I apologize.

Actually, I kinda find this reply rude. Clearly Faleel didn’t know what you meant, maybe he didn’t read back far enough, but that was uncalled for IMO.

Obviously, the August beta had many more tracks than the final retail version did, but you didn’t explain that well enough, at least not in the PM you fired to me (and that was all I got to see before FFShrine got a database failure).

No problem 🙂

Now, we need… someone to keep us up to date too – as the updates will release more music, right?

EDIT: I also tried to do this back in the days using scripts from Xentax but failed, where’s the functional tool?

I did it with EasyMYP, ww2ogg 0.19 and revorb.exe.

You’re welcome 😉

PS.
All those ungrateful haters that used to ask me for files in the past and that now spammed my inbox with hate after my post here, a giant FUCK YOU from me.

..thank you..

(vanishes once again)

..thank you..

(vanishes once again)

lol! Same here. Thanks a lot. 🙂

It’s a shame we’ve got such useless filenames though. I hope that gets alleviated eventually. For now, iTunes will just have some crazy filenames I guess 🙂

Any confirmation on whether filenames or song titles or anything of the like will be available?

I am so excited. There was one particular musical cue I absolutely love on the Republic Fleet, and I was determined to find it. I started converting all files to MP3, adding to iTunes, and skimming through them one by one. After 322 tracks, I found it! The file is named "95E04BC3_702C5CE2A96F4A1E" and plays in the Republic Fleet when you’re around the Galactic Trade Network. So, so pretty.

Thread 105437. All you have to do is check the film music forum and it’s there.

Anyway the link is and anyone can update it or as I am also running a copy of the spreadsheet on my hard drive people could just give me a list of what they have found and I will update both versions. All I have really done is put down comments and notes that I make as I listen to the tracks.

Please feel free to contribute / ignore as you please.

I wish I had more time to help out, but I did identified 1 track:

1AFCBD06_57BC04CB2CCB42A5 – 0:02:44 – Cantina – Doe Azalus Ootmian

1516EAFD_A49F685A28FF69C5 – 0:03:14 – Cantina – ROTJ Rancor Pit music
1AFCBD06_57BC04CB2CCB42A5 – 0:02:44 – Cantina – Doe Azalus Ootmian
323174D9_5816FEBC0BCE9D7D – 0:02:34 – Cantina – AOTC music? – Across the Stars is in it
58593EAC_24E913673D7B12A9 – 0:02:43 – Cantina – Doe Azalus Ootmian – without the vocals
D448AFAF_24682C0ED8EBC280 – 0:02:24 – Cantina – ANH, Cantina
DF3D388E_B1E49FC7110C62D9 – 0:02:32 – Cantina – ANH, Land of the Jawa’s

I did find a 40mb hashes_filename.txt file that looks like it could be useful but it is a) from the Beta version of the game and b) I can seem to correspond the names in the text file to the filenames of the .ogg tracks. A version from the actual game would be helpful I think (hope).

What I would say is that by looking at that it seems some of the music is from KOTOR I & II, possibly just the background ‘incidental’ music.

Anyways, I made some progress, so I’ll send a new dropbox link in the next couple of days.

I could go on… but do you really want me to? 😀

Could you could handle the tracks coming from the soundtrack.

Are the files names in a specific order? And how do you add new rows. I added comments on 1D8CD0CB_87ED5DBEBFFDDDD5 and 3AE43A9F_8CC010E15227DC14 – is that the correct way to do it? I know that 3AE43A9F_8CC010E15227DC14 is from Kotor2, but I can’t place where…

If you know for sure it is from KOTOR I or II just put that in the comment box, where it’s from is not important as this project is solely concerned with TOR tracks. New rows should not be added, if you ate listening to a full rip then a lot of the tracks have been removed (ie prequel tracks).

Edit: Yeah what Doublehex said. Damn posting on my phone!

Actually, focus on Dromund Kass and Korriban. Those two share a similar musical style, so I find it hard to separate the two from memory. The others are more or less unique.

Please note on both vids that Fraps cut it of on its own after 3 minutes and I decided not to bother uploading the small end pieces, seeing as this should be enough to check it with.

Nicely done I am sure Tpiom! I wonder, did I saw it right that 323174D9_5816FEBC0BCE9D7D was from AOTC?

Also Tpiom could you shoot me that pm after your lie down so I can remove them from the spreadsheet, cheers.

Almost an hour’s worth of music. We are getting there guys, one file at a time. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, even if it is blocked by a rancor.

Yeah, if you check with those vids then you can see my character opening the tracks in the Cantina of the Senate Tower. That’s where the names came from.

Tpiom: Impressive list you send to Hex, saves a lot of trouble!

Hex: I see that you did not included my other-then-TOR finds yet, but this is good already 🙂

I will be listeninig to the long list of KOTOR/Movie tracks also in a bit 🙂

Oh and the spreadsheet is updated with all my info.

Is there any alien dialog sound files in there too?

Nice to see a familiar face in this place 🙂

I just returned from a cantina on ord Mantell and saw 1 new track there called ‘For the Republic’. However this is the main theme from KOTOR. So what are we to do with this? I say add it among the cantina songs since it has a new title.

Hex: How is it going at your end? You mentioned a dropbox link/update coming soon? 🙂

And thats all the official releashed tracks. I will do my best now to search high and low on the internet to identify the last 11 tracks. But I got a shaky feeling that out of these 11 I have heard a couple before and the only way possible could be for them to be generic Cantina tracks that play when you enter a cantina and don’t select a theme from the jukebox. But it is a feeling that I cannot confirm.

Great work on these cantina tracks. Don’t forget we can identify some from YouTube videos such as Sarlaac Almighty, that will reduce the 11 left a little also.

If there are generic tracks I am sure we can identify them somehow.

Tython, the Wellspring
1ABA711D_6B255CFB90928E73

That link on the first post is unavailable – does anyone have an upload please? I’d love to hear this, especially if it has new cues from AOTC and ROTS.

Newly identified tracks:

18F65A9E_89B4DF8D3288CC5F – Spice is Nice
78E202F2_514722163C1E6576 – The Bothan Bounce
211B5488_D89B267DC615167C – Sarlacc Almighty
0726DAD6_26DE21504154E1CC – Unubunko
849F08C0_B9615A1AEAF564A7 – If Tomorrow Never Comes
ADE5445A_630ED7B697440557 – My Ol’Tibanna Man

The earlier Youtube link, as provided by WildWhiphid, names a few tracks that you will not see in the Excel list. These titles come from official sites of the composers, but they confirmed to me and Desaren that some track titles have been changed. We know that Take Over Porkins has become Boot Black and Bachani Blossoms and that Moisture Vaporation has become See You On the Dark Side.
So that means that there is a possibility that Spice is Nice and Sarlacc Almighty may be old names also considering they have not yet been found in the game.

Also added in the Excel file is a new sheet with a suggestion on how the final release should look like when it comes to order. This is also to track down what we need to do for it.

Just waiting for Doublehex’s update so we can really pull this together.

http://db.tt/H1PoVmH6

Edit: I know I’ve heard this track on Korriban (in the tombs, specifically near the Hate Machine) if anyone could confirm this, please.

Any I have some other tracks confirmed. Will edit the spread sheet 🙂

StarWarsFan are you doing an updated version of your Ep III expanded score?

You’d have to ask Faleel.

———- Post added at 05:34 PM ———- Previous post was at 05:34 PM ———-

Good job Carsten, anything you find just put in the spreadsheet in the comments column (or if you’re sure the Cue Title column).

StarWarsFan are you doing an updated version of your Ep III expanded score?

I don’t know why i should.

Me? I love this place, I’ll have to look through my HD, see if I can find it.

We uhm… had some trouble.

Yeah, I wont pry StarWarsFan -I gathered as much.

You’d have to ask Faleel.

———- Post added at 05:34 PM ———- Previous post was at 05:34 PM ———-

I don’t know why i should.
Well that’s up to you but I thought you might with all the unreleased stuff in TOR.

Clash of Destiny.mp3 (http://www.mediafire.com/?e6vbu9ibk17gfrz)

I also made an Instrumental Version using these files

88216AB2_E1A3F458BD4449F9

Clash of Destiny (Instrumental).mp3 (http://www.mediafire.com/?888f4jlexvp7lrq)

You could be onto something with the instrumental parts though, seeing as there is quite a lot of choral sections in the tracks it would be cool to make purely orchestral versions. Yeah Clash of Destiny appears in Bravado also. I made notes on the tracks to help me identify the tracks from the game, I can let you have those if you like?

Tell me, with Audacity is it not possible to out put files in the same format they were originally, in this case .ogg? It Judy seems a shame to transcode lossy files.

1. Original released version
2. Original released version, no choir
3. Expanded game release
4. Expanded game release, no choir (assumed by me now)
5. Carsten’s version (and perhaps that also without the choir or with, forgot wich/how you added it, my bet)

What I mean with exporting to .ogg is whether it is possible to open the various .ogg files, edit them and save the edited file without re-encoding it? Encoding a lossy .ogg to lossy .mp3 is bad for quality but obviously if it has to be done.

Seriously you can’t here it in Bravado? It’s right at the beginning.

What kind of release are you planning if I may ask?

Really? It doesn’t sound like it to me.

I was thinking of a 4 disc release, I’m not that much of a fan of soundtracks that have a lot of songs in them (like 30+), it’s just not my thing. Here’s the overview of what I’m planning:

Disc One
Main Menu Theme
Faction Themes
Class Themes

Disc Two
Planet Themes
Conflict/Battle Themes

Disc Three
Instrumental/acapella version from discs one and two.

Disc Four
Cantina music, including instrumental and (if possiable) acapella tracks.

In this era of governments seizing upload sites (and, you know, given that they’ve always sucked anyway), how about a good ol’ torrent file?

True; and the Dropbox link I found above is actually a pretty darn good idea anyway.

A credit would be nice though.

That is true, yes.

5BFB797B_CF186B9750DB0992
Voss, the Mystic Garden

163CA44D_A2617454CA0310CC
Taris, the Plauge

However this is indeed a problem, what version of the game rip are you working with?

Try a towel and some warm water.

5BFB797B_CF186B9750DB0992
Voss, the Mystic Garden

163CA44D_A2617454CA0310CC
Taris, the Plauge

Both these tracks were in the spreadsheet Carsten, I have updated accordingly.

While we wait for the spreadsheet to be complete, (and while we play the game). I’ve gathered some songs to make a Mixtape Album. Most of these songs were mentioned on the SWTOR Forums as what would be their class theme song. The rest are strokes of luck that I found while doing random YouTube searches. I should note though that I couldn’t get the artists names in there without iTunes messing up, so I just labeled the album as "Various Artists" though the artists games are in the track list below. Enjoy 🙂

And if you can point me to the HUttese lyrics also that would be great 🙂

"In terms of the sheet music, thats completely out of my control since Lucas Films owns the copyright… It’s something that I have mentioned to them in the past, but I wouldn’t count on it happening.

I also regret that I can not distribute any of the music for the same reason (copyright)… Sorry about that.

Yes, you are correct about Quesh and Ilum. We composed about 7 hours of original music for the game, but even with that amount we couldn’t cover every location… This could change with downloadable content in the future though."

"It is indeed a male choir. They are all singing their lowest possible pitches and slowly and randomly changing the vowel sound from ahh to oow (opening and closing their mouths) This is similar in sound to the "throat singing" techniques of the Tibetan monks. I then layered Baritone Electric Guitar, played with an E-Bow, while pitch shifting the notes with a Whammy Bar… (google those terms if you dont know what I’m talking about) then I ran the resulting signal through some pitch shifting / delay signal processing effects. This is the "wind sound" you are referring to…. John Williams occasionally used synthesizers as a color effect in the star wars films, and this is similar to what my approach was here, but the processed guitar felt more expressive to me than using a keyboard for this situation.

A bit of trivia for you… For the mockup (demo version of the music that I need to submit for approval before we go and record it for real) I multi-tracked my own voice for the male choir, and this layer actually ended up staying in the final version because I like how my voice combined with the choir we recorded. (I think I sounded even more evil than they did 😉 My Baritone Guitar performance also ended up in the final performance. So I was acting as a performer as well as a composer on that track."

Thanks man!

Where is that version? I can’t find it. The main link in the OP is dead.

This link here, just checked it and it still appears to work. If you want to help with identifying the few remaining tracks drop me a PM.

Oh Thanks. Guess I didn’t see it.

Dont worry about it, the best of us can miss out on things 🙂 hope you enjoy the link and could help us out.

As a reminder, cross checking with this list might help sorting out any of the movie scores:

If I understand, this is the list of the song of TOR, recovery from the prequels soundtracks.
But why I can’t find any of this liste in the upload ? Did you delete, because this is available in the expanded score ?

Andrees must have had you in mind when he made these available.

Try here for KotOR 1 music (Thread 93983) (

This person wants the KOTOR music from the TOR rip not from a KOTOR rip. I have a few files removed from the rip Hex provided but this certainly had a lot of movie tracks removed and we think probably some KOTOR tracks also.

I have actually ripped the music from Kotor (I’m not into Kotor 2) already, some time ago, and arranged it the way I like, so I’m sure you had the best intentions, but I didn’t say "better quality, no sfx on the cutscene music" by accident in my post, I know what I’m talking about. Thanks to desarenezitic btw, for getting it 🙂

Atleast the Cantina songs are complete now also. Well minus the title for just 1 of them that we did not yet encountered in the game.

No, they are not. TOR has 128 bitrate ogg files which are compareable with KotOR1 and 2’s compressed wav files, if not worse.

The biggest difference is: the TOR soundtrack has some of the fmv cutscene music from KotOR, while in the original KotOR files they can only be found as the audio tracks of the videos themselves, encoded in the horrible BINK audio format, in inferior quality, with a great amount of pretty obvious compression artifacts and the sound effects in them.

So it’s not only about a preference of audio formats (which can turn a little silly sometimes, I have to agree), but basically having more of the music of KotOR in decent quality.

Like I said, I’ve never dealt with Kotor 2. The music of Kotor 1 is in 128 kbps mp3, that’s coming from multiple software, plus the fact that everything above 16 kHz is gone; that’s the standard high-pass cut-off point for 128 mp3. Also, if you simply calculate the data rate of the files per second, you’ll get around 128 kbps as well. There’s no way around it, unless there have been different versions released with different audio quality for the music. I haven’t heard about that.

It would be very nice of you to make the full Kotor material available for download, like I asked/posted before 🙂

That is our goal! 🙂 The only exceptions we have made on this are with the Cantina tracks that featured the 2 Cantina themes from ANH and For The Republic from KOTOR considering that they are presented in the game as in-universe music. Oh and then there is a slight reworking of the original Revan theme that is also kinda new.

I can’t find the spreadsheet where you guys are updating the identified track list, though, looks like you removed the link. I’d love to see your progress (the version of the .rar I wound up with only has a few tracks sorted, and none tagged). Main reason is, I use music in my SW roleplaying game sessions, and I had the idea to give my players their own themes. So, essentially, making sure I have all the bits and pieces of each motif on hand would be awesome. If that’s something you guys are willing to put up (even a non-editable list of your current progress), I’d love to see it. I doubt I’ve identified any that you guys haven’t, but I would definitely let you know if I do! 🙂

We are making good progress at the moment and should be able to make a release soon. All I can ask is you stay patient a little longer.

I totally understand, thank you. 😀

Can I bug you with this question though? There’s a motif I can’t place… The main bit of 239F16DC_B7173A21F0324988 (not the force theme obviously, but the first part). I would love some insight on that; I just can’t remember where else that comes up.

Thanks Carsten!

By the way guys, have you noticed this?

SWTOR Soundtrack – House of Organa – YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aepdiymto_4)

I believe there are a few pieces of the Alderaan theme that are exclusive to this track, because it’s used as hold music for their customer service line. I know for certain I didn’t find some of them, and I’ve kept pretty good tabs on the files containing this motif. Just wanted to let you know!

I’m willing to help out, tried sending a PM to you desarenezitic, but oddly I can’t find where to actually send them… very curious considering the amount of time I spend on forums!

A massive thanks to you for all your work on this so far.

Found it somewhere, am working on tagging the tracks and trying to find some good rips of the Galactic Dance-off music. Will post here when I am done with it.

In the mean time I came across some SW Kinect music on Soundcloud from an official source and decided to make that into a release with the Galactic Dance-Off tracks. With special thanks to Desaren!:

Basically we plan a 4 ‘Disc’ release (not intended to actually fit on a disc nicely) and we currently have Disc 3 (all Cantina tracks) fully complete, the others are nearly there and then Disc 4 is planned as alternate tracks / cues and tracks purely associated with events in game (ie cut scenes) which is largely untouched. We currently have 70 tracks that are unidentified, some of these may belong to official tracks but the majority will be on Disc 4.

Andreees has previously stated that he has a complete list of meaningful track names but so far very few have been put against the has filenames we are working with which makes it difficult and we haven’t heard from him for a good while.

So there you have it, not much positive news I’m afraid. If anyone has anything to offer please let us know.

The news may not be positive, but it’s better then nothing. I’ve been lurking on this thread since TOR was released, and I’m really looking forward to whenever this is released, (To quote Bioware… Soon???)

How about a pre-release of the first 3 cd’s though then?

http://db.tt/H1PoVmH6

When this is an updated rip, why then have the new rip only 474 tracks, but the old one 1109 tracks?
Are there really so many duplicates?

Carsten has produced a number of artwork designs for the discs, still to be decided 100% which we use.

The updated rip was updated in terms of removing movie and KOTOR tracks of which there are a lot. We plan an update and a sneak peak at Disc 3, hopefully Monday, I can give you facts and figures then.

Work is still progressing but it can be slow going! I’ll elaborate on some facts and figures for you –

A complete rip of the game contains 1119 tracks ranging from around 5 seconds to 3 minutes or more for Cantina tracks
We currently have 463 tracks identified as being from SWTOR at a running time of over 10hours!
That total will go up as we discovered some tracks were missing (mainly background / ‘mood’ music); conservative estimate would be another 100 tracks, total pushing 11 hours

That gives an idea of what we have to work with and through.

To answer the above question about the release (when it happens) it has been discussed to re-encode all tracks to mp3, this will be necessary for some tracks that are being mixed to create alternate versions of tracks released on the CE etc. If needs be we will make two versions available, original ogg where necessary and mp3, all still to be finalised.

Anyway enough of the ramblings, we have a little preview of Disc 3: Cantina Jukebox which contains all 36 Cantina tracks found in the game. The Cantina disc was a real team effort – Sander (Exar) and Carsten identified new tracks
in-game, often recording them and then finding the tracks from the rip whilst I managed to get in touch with Peter McConnell who gave some great information and eventually (once we found the original track names) could fill in the
artist details for us. The preview contains 3 unreleased tracks plus an instrumental of an already released track. The Cantina tracks were sorted into 3 genres and we have picked a track from each genre as follows:

Boot Black and Bachani Blossoms for cabaret
Under the Double Sun for big band
Carbines in the Wind for funk
Smeeleeya Whao Tupee Upee (instrumental)

Artwork is included, may or may not be the final version, hope you enjoy 😀 clicky (http://www.mediafire.com/?5axt3r5s9h8k7pr)

If I might make a suggestion (and feel free to ignore it if you think it sucks/hate it), since this is such a huge endeavor and with nearly 500 tracks according to your October update, wouldn’t it be possible/advisable to have it released gradually in parts?

I’m not suggesting this just because of the long wait, but my concern is that as with other projects i’ve seen over the years, there is always the risk that something unexpected might go wrong towards the very end and there will be little to show for the tremendous effort being undertaken here (this is especially the case when relatively few people are behind the core effort, which seems to be the case)..

Either way, thanks for the effort and have a great holiday season!

EDIT: No one need worry, this will get released in its entirety sooner rather than later 😉

I am so excited for this release I can barely contain myself!

Hope it’s not much longer it seems like it’s taking forever….. I understand the scale of the project though, so let me know if you need any assistance, I would help any way I can if it would speed things up.

Oh and Happy New Year!

Original quality is always necessary please please please 🙂 Or maybe just release the program that you use to rip and then give us the names to put in ourself might be easier since we all have the multi-GB size copy of the game on our disks anyway? 🙂 If that’s possible anyway, I don’t know if you are doing very advanced stuff to get the files… I really appreciate it, I found this thread via Google looking for missing track names and had no idea it was actually missing tracks til I read the two threads here 🙂

So thank you so much will really look forward to the main release, would be so awesome if it’s not possible to let us get it ourselves if you release it full quality FLAC or OGG if they are already lowered into ogg as you are suggesting I have no idea hehe

I am not sure but I am thinking that possibly the Youtube HD/"original" quality videos that EA uploaded ( starting on youtu.be/MxaazYPjjd4?hd=1 (http://youtu.be/MxaazYPjjd4?hd=1) then click the little cog at the bottomright of the window to change quality to "original" (full list on youtube.com/playlist?list=PLB00B70E152D0304C) …. is probably higher quality than the MP3s they put on their site ( www.swtor.com/info/news/news-article/20111201 (http://www.swtor.com/info/news/news-article/20111201) ), the Youtube ones might actually be higher quality than the in game music too as well as better than those MP3s, if the game ones are really only OGGs… though I guess it would depend what quality Mhz the OOGs are at, like MP3s?

The low quality 192Mhz MP3s are on that swtor.com link

for the Youtube ones, you can download the .MP4 originals if you get Flashgot then reload the page a few times after selecting Original until Flashgot shows the MP4 option to download (you can also get .FLV files but I believe they are less quality from my googling, the original quality ones are MP4)

Of course both that and the youtube list is still missing loads of tracks, it might help you get higher quality for some at least from those youtube "original" quality files, I don’t know what the quality is so blah… but yeah putting as much info out as I have found 🙂 Good luck… I also posted on this other useful thread I found on these forums: Star Wars: The Old Republic – Collector’s Edition OST (http://forums.ffshrine.org/f72/star-wars-old-republic-collectors-edition-ost-102523/4.html#post2251427)

Is there really that much more music besides those 60+ tracks?

It is already stated that the original quality files (ogg) will be released in addition to any mp3 edits or conversions made.

Wow…to be honest I don’t see where all of that music fits in the game. Most of the music heard during gameplay can be heard on the 2 released OSTs, at least it seemed that way.

There are also tracks that sound similar to the official tracks but aren’t part of them (Alderaan has a shedload of these).

I do remember some of the background music that is faint, and actually that is one of the reason I am looking forward to this so much, I just didn’t realize there was so much of it.

Can I ask how you accessed the music files in this game? I’d like to poke around in there and see what’s what.

Well this is why it’s going to be an awesome release because there’s so much of it 😀

You can ask and you can use Google, that’s how I did it. I do have help from someone who is awesome at the extraction side but I can’t post any of his secrets or tools that he made specifically for this cause, sorry 😛

The filesize of the audio .tor files is bigger and they added more of it in later patches.

Simple as that.

By the way, dunno if you guys have noticed, but some of those deep, spacey background tracks are actually just 5x slowed-down versions of other tracks from the game.

It’s not that difficult in the end. But it’s a lot of work. I think there’s a command to make ww2ogg convert all the files in the folder at once, but I don’t remember.

EDIT: OK, found it on my computer. You want to put all files (the music .wav files, the ww2ogg019 files and revorb.exe) in one folder, along with a copy of cmd.exe, and insert this: for %f in (*.wav) do ww2ogg.exe %f –pcb packed_codebooks_aoTuV_603.bin
for %f in (*.ogg) do revorb.exe %f

I’m not a command line expert so maybe you’ll have to try it in different ways, perhaps you could make a batch file.

@ Rogue Ledr: I wish it was as simple as that!!
@ rcavanah: I hadn’t realised about the 5x slowed-down background tracks, thanks
@ TORFan: You can judge the completeness when it’s released and let me know 😛 as for personal liberties, not sure what you mean by that.

What new music?

In beta it had 1043 tracks, in 1.0 it rose to 1100 and now in 1.6.3 its 1137 tracks which means obviously new music was added.

You doubt very wrong. We present all cues with apprioriate titles and in an order that fits. But there is zero to nothing that will be edited together to make it sound nicer. As far as I know, and Desaren can confirm this, the only editing we do is with the alternate tracks of the CE. They are all made out of cues and officially mixed together, but we add versions to a special Alternates Disc that brings the cues that have been cut-off in fully, so we have say Domination, The Sith Empire that excists out of 4 cues, with 1 cut-off midway, now as all those 4 cues mixed together in the same way, with only the midway-cue fully in it.

Yeh ive been askin for this but got no reponse
Also guys interested in ripping the files yourself XeNTaX • View topic – Star Wars – The Old Republic – Beta (http://forum.xentax.com/viewtopic.php?p=81776&sid=2ab8a8814e6f7218a6d1ff8373ae4624#p81776) this post has latest version of Easymyp and hashes for extracting

I don’t think he ever implied that the tools automatically identify the tracks. That seems to be the part they’ve spent so much time on. I got the impression that what desaren is describing is essentially a macro, used for setting the filenames/tagging in batches (right?).

Anyway, TORFan, even if the tools were more useful than that, why would you want these guys to release something which could potentially get their whole project shut down, after they’ve already put so much work into it? And tell me, what reason would they have to lie about the editing? Nobody serves to profit from this. No benefit comes from lying about it. I’d say you’re lucky to get the civil responses you’ve gotten so far.

Anyone who knows better please go ahead and release your work on this, I’d love to hear it, take the pressure off us releasing also.

I wonder, if you did not intend on sharing them, the why did you mention them at first?

———- Post added at 06:50 AM ———- Previous post was at 06:49 AM ———-

How many composers did this game have again? Like 5 or more, right?

Mark Griskey; Jesse Harlin; Gordy Haab; Wilbert Roget, II and Lennie Moore.

I wonder, if you did not intend on sharing them, the why did you mention them at first?[COLOR="Silver"]

I have to admit I kinda agree with this. Also I don’t see why you wouldn’t release the tools so others can help since this seems to be taking forever. It really makes no sense that "someone" gave you the tools and you can’t share them…Again I appreciate this but you really should talk to this "someone" about releasing these tools.

Say are you the guy Xentax forums that makes the hashlists for EasyMYP everytime there’s an update?

This is taking forever cause people who were helping all dropped out at some points because they either stopped communicating with us.

I know you’re talking about me and I’m sorry for that but between EA’s direction with the game, my hard drive with 3/4 of 1.2 named with beta names dying and being busy with things overall I just gave up. I’m still sad that they went out of their way to make ripping files as inaccessible as possible when Blizzard doesn’t protect their files, it’s very easy to get them and they have enough names to help you set up a whole score. Also I’m not angry that you guys aren’t releasing the tools and I know full well it could get EA lawsuit on your backsides, I merely politely asked about it. If there’s anyone to blame it’s the TORfan guy with his ungrateful, in my opinion, attitude.
Still I’m interested if your tools extract the filenames from the string nodes in the other files, do they? Just curious and it would be nice to know the filenames of the new files.

For others interested I can supply clean, unnamed rips of beta, 1.0 and 1.2 and maybe latest patch once I care enough to redownload the game.

Also: I do not even have these tools, I am an idiot when it comes to ripping as it is.

That plus the fact that I am the only 1 playing the game, makes it all a slow progress.
Ouch. Do you still enjoy it… or it mostly for work?

They probably don’t realize how much there actually is in this game. I know it. I have experienced it and I respect the team for handling it. Thank you! 🙂

Considering you were (based on your ‘have experienced’), let me ask you a question that is releated to a debate between me and my good friend Desaren (and he is drafting a fuller post about this matter, with both views of the coin highlighted, so I am bit stepping on his toes now – sorry mate): How well do you remember the cutscene music? And what are your views regarding the randomness of the music, as the makers claim it, it is very random?

I am quite surprised at some people on here who know what it is like to have there stuff shared in a way they don’t want it shared.

Also while I am at it, as Andrees said he was working on this and along with Carsten that’s it; 4 guys, some longer than others. Carsten has not been heard of since before Christmas I think so we may need someone to do some, hmm I won’t say editing in case it offends, putting together of cues for us 😛

I see some people are here interested in the tools and helping and I am confused why you refuse the help, thats all, especially since you admit it’s tough doing it alone.:(

@ ggctuk2005 I don’t know, sorry, i don’t have access to up to date game files and was sent 13 cues last week, I can ask for you.

Thanks for all your hard work.

I was wondering if this might be an on-going project. Seeing as the powers that be are planning their first expansion called "The Rise of the Hutt Cartel" which adds a new planet called Makeb, I wonder if the fine folks here had an interest in grabbing that music for a separate release down the line. (One would hope they’d have new music to go with all of the other new content.)

Of course, I’m pretty sure Desaren and Exar are already doing that, but anyone else who’s worried about losing track of what music you have and don’t have… that’d serve as a little insurance.

With the following additional leftover cues:
3906730E_83721FB8059FB878 regionevent_narshaddaa_sinistermystery_01
86B3B783_514B2C2703AD0975 regionevent_narshaddaa_unsettled_01

These would probably be called something like Nar Shaddaa: Sinister Mystery / Unsettled and presented on Disc 2 with the ‘parent’ corresponding theme.

Now we have around 40-50 tracks (plus a whole bunch of very short cues) that are not associated with a planet and have general names such as event_sinistermoment_03 or action_lowintensity_flashpointraidmix1 and regionevent_spacestation_main.

The discussion point is how to name them for release, my view is release as is with the names from in-game whilst my good buddy Exar would like to tie the tracks to events or cut scenes in the game; we have a few named already such as Taris – Confronting Cin Tykan (in game names: action_lowintensity_mysterioustension, action_lowintensity_flashpointraidmix1, regionevent_ilum_main).
So our question to you guys is what do you think would be best and why? Not only do we want to know the best way to name the tracks but also for those who play the game how much repeat music do you notice, especially on cut scenes (NOT including movie themes or music taken from CE tracks) because the music engine in the game is supposed to generate random cues and Exar believes the music on cut scenes to be fixed and always the same.
I don’t necessarily disagree but I say that whatever cue is used for a particular cut scene will also be used elsewhere in the game in many places.

So for example you’re saying a track named Tense 01 that we match to a Quesh video you’d call Quesh: Tense?

Making a good point there. Cause I really still believe that the odds of music repeated in a different cutscene is low considering all the repeating music I heard was ambience only while cruising a planet. And then also only on the same planet only. So i am bit difficult in accepting what the composers keep saying that the music is random. The only randomness appears for me with random attacks (could be bosses, could be important storyline characters, could be random mandalorians during a sidequest – even then I keep hearing moviethemes like the AOTC speeder chase), flashpoints (that i barely did but noticed 3 themes so to speak while playing the Alderaan thrice in a row) and perhaps the same with spacemissions. And if they have it then same goes for warzones that I never did yet.

True for the ambigious cues. However we have cues that fit perfectly against a cutscene also. The question for those are: Prefer to see them with a name befitting the cutscene (I tend to attach the mission title to the cue for clarity and to avoid a totally out-of-place-volunteered-name) or as generic Tense 01 in case they may have repeated elsewhere in the game?

This is probably the route to go that would suit everybody just fine. As long as the tracks are in some sort of order I just don’t think that many will mind what the tracks are named, but the more track info the better I guess.

As you are well aware, the game uses Wwise to playback the music. Since I enjoy the music very much, I wanted to help Desaren in getting the filenames.
If you are interested in how the music works and why it is not so easy to get the filenames, I recommend watching this video Wwise Tutorial 11 – Creating Interactive Music Structures – YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zvnt3tbL3OU&list=PL11C806BBAAF252CA&index=12) and the follow-ups.
Even though hcs’s tool is great to convert the proprietary format .wem to .ogg files, the files themselves only have numbers but no names. For the connections with the file names, I had to analyse the proprietary Wwise Soundbank format (see specification (http://wiki.xentax.com/index.php?title=Wwise_SoundBank_(*.bnk))).

Here’s how the music gets into the game:
The composers record the music and put it into Wwise. Then they created multiple events, e.g. "Play sad background music", "Play heroic background music", "Play cabaret cantina music", "Play Coruscant theme", etc. The game designers put these events into the dialogues.
For example, here you can see an extract from the quest "Chasing History" on Taris (Republic):

When you view the dialogue, the "background.sad" event is called. This sets switch #3998872777 to value 44357635, which plays the playlist container #1060380027.

This container plays one random track from 14 different choices:

And these numbers once again refer to "Music Tracks", not files. So once again I need to look up the Music Tracks under the given id to get the file name numbers.
For example, here are some recordings of the quest, a different sad music is played each time: SWTOR: Chasing History quest (Taris) [KotOR reference] – YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drcDAnnf1Ng&t=4m45s), Taris – Chasing History – YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rPzgFd4N0g&t=5m01s), SW:TOR – Part 46 – Chapter I – Taris – Despair in the Promised Land – YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaXmryPLkHM&t=1h43m57s), Taris: Chasing History (Part 7 of 8) – YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysL7RmMtqsQ), SWTOR Chasing History – YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZagMrWfl6M&t=8m16s), (Lets Play) Star Wars: The Old Republic EP 74: Chasing History! (TEA) – YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtu_eW9q5Ao&t=13m32s).
Of course, my program does all this automatically, but I hope I could explain to you why it was so difficult to analyse the file format.
If you consider Wwise to be a little bit of an overkill, I wholeheartedly agree. There are many settings that the composers did not make use of, but then again I think the music is good enough the way it currently is.

The reason why you do not notice the music is just what Jesse Harlin predicted one and a half years ago: STAR WARS™: The Old Republic™ – Music of The Old Republic (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrziiQcJwjs&t=4m42s). If you are continually viewing cinematic videos, you will notice that there is background music, and certain strong mobs have a combat music and victory music associated with it as well. Additionaly, every area of a planet has a certain theme associated with it. As soon as you enter a new area, you will hear such a theme (about a minute long).
However, if you are only standing on a planet doing nothing or occupying the fleet all day, don’t be surprised that there is no music. The ambient music is, like Desaren already said, very quiet, very stretched and not very melodic.

So all in all, I helped Desaren with connecting individual files to the names the composers gave the music. Nevertheless, Wwise works with ids and therefore does not include the original names in the files, but only the numbers.
I can tell you which 14 tracks contain the sad background music, but I cannot tell you whether this music is from the movies, the KotOR games or original music.
As much as I try to help Desaren with the analysis, a lot of work has to be done manually since the information can no longer be found in the files.

And yes, the new music for Makeb (you can hear it in the background of the RotHC: First Look video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbNzUwBIbNU)) has been added into the game with patch 1.6.3. Since 1.6.2, I am tracking the patches and will know when new music is added to the files.
Back around 1.4 or 1.5, I gave Desaren a complete list of all the music, so I am pretty confident that we are not missing any tracks.

Look at me all you want, but this doesnt change anything 😛 well it may in some cases, but if I am reading it right (SWTORFan, correct me if I am wrong please) this says that some cutscenes have randomness, or does this go for every cutscene that there is a selection like sad that has 14 different combinations? Or are there cutscenes that just say: Play this cue/file only?

SWTORfan: Great post, very insightful!

By the way, I sent Desaren a list of which quests play which music container, and I hope I can clear up some uncertainties that way.

Great! *looks at Desaren* you better send me this list asap mate, so I can look at it 😉

Or is this an abandoned effort?

I check this thread daily, because I’d do anything to get my hands on music from SWTOR.
For all the hate the game got, the cutscenes and the music were absolutely amazing all around.

Keep in mind that this is a free-time project and that any real life issues will push back the release some time. Last I heard, Desaren and his team are still working on the music, now trying to figure out where to put in the new Makeb music.
If you want to be up to date, I recommend subscribing to this thread via e-mail. That way, you will get an instant notification as soon as the music is released.
Keep looking forward to the release, it won’t be much longer! 🙂

Thanks for the info. And aye, I meant the sorting as part of the whole "ripping effort" basically, making the entirety of the process complicated.

And I’m definitely looking forward to it.

I believe these forums are where I got the Clone Wars Republic Heroes rip some time ago, and it’s my most prized possession, since it has a bunch of tracks used in the animated series as well that aren’t likely to ever be released officially.

But a SWTOR rip would just be priceless, if my experience playing the game was any indication of its music file contents.

If you guys need any help with organizing and tagging, I’d love to contribute.

Basicly what SWFan said yeah, he sums it up nicely! A long tedious project for us, but never forgotten. And if you have a download link or something for Republic Heroes I would love to hear it 🙂

I actually can’t find the thread here anymore. I think the thread or link might’ve died when megaupload keeled over.

The whole thing is 445 MB. If you can advise a file host that supports that file size for free, I can upload it.
I usually use MediaFire, but that has a 200 MB limit for free.

After an hour, that thing was stuck at 2%, so I gave up on it.

Split it into three parts and uploaded them to MediaFire. You can get all three consecutively without wait times, just not parallel downloads.

SWTCWRH.part1.rar (http://www.mediafire.com/?1bgawsgnoco3g18)

SWTCWRH.part3.rar (http://www.mediafire.com/?2iw43y5d3aj2j3f)

I get the feeling it’ll get taken down no matter where I upload it.

Could try sendspace. Never had problems there.

My bad lool. I keep getting the names: "the Old Republic" mixed up with the "Knights of the Old Republic" I forgot they are two separate and different games lol.

Yeah, it’s been a year and a half. A YEAR AND A HALF. I have just about given up on this rip. In my opinion, just release what you have, forget the sorting. I don’t think people care about the sorting as much as the actual music.

Exactly, rather a delayed piece of quality, then a rushed piece of shit 😉

The unsorted music would also mean all the pieces from KotOR1,2 and the movies being there along with the music made specifically for TOR.

It’s quite a mess also because of EA’s very messy filesystem that relies on hashes and containers that are called up for specific places rather than the very ordered structure of for example WoW’s music.

Even if they’re already released elsewhere, this’ll sort of be like a comprehensive encyclopedic collection, won’t it?

The game seems to have just about all the music ever used in any Star Wars media, minus The Clone Wars animated series, but all that music (or at least most of it) is available in the Republic Heroes game rip (Thread 129424).

Agreed on the Encyclopedic collection that combines it all yeah…

Re Republic Heroes: Still wish someone used your great rip to properly tag every bit of music to either the game cutscenes or just the entire TCW series…to fill in the blanks that the few promo tracks (as released by Kiner himself online) tried to do.

That does not mean you can’t still make a complete version. I think you would make a lot of people happy just by doing this, including myself. Also with the lack of updates etc, who knows if this will ever be finished. Seems like a lot of work.

Personally, I’d prefer that they don’t take the risk of re-releasing the unsorted rip; it’s just one more thing that might get them in trouble before the final release, thus making that final release impossible. You could try to get someone elsewhere to upload the rip, though; these guys are working on this project independent of whomever uploaded it originally.

I am sorry to hear of your loss grandfather. I lost mine a few years back and understand what you are going through. I appreciate your dedication to finish the Old Republic soundtrack for us, I also understand if you feel you need more time to finish grieving.

Sincerely,

Firestars004

Cheers,

Firestars004

And by the way, Paul and Exar, I’m personally going through the files from the "Undecided cues" folder, to see if there are any matches with any KOTOR/Movie music. Some of them are pure TOR tracks, but I’m just trying to make sure.

Keep it up and know that, at least from me, you have support!

Best wishes to all the team members. You guys and gals rock!!!

Cheers,

Firestars004

Hope all is well.

While I have not had contact with Desaren for a while, I am still analyzing the game. The last time I took a deeper look at the music was with the Makeb music of 2.0. Since then, they have continously added new music to the files.
In the beginning, they were just reusing music from the films, but there has been more and more music where I am no longer sure whether it is original or reused music. Because of that, I decided to upload all of the new music since 2.0. Since I am sure that you know much more about the Star Wars music than me, I hope that you can tell what the original music is.

Download swtor-new-music-2.1-to-2.5.zip from Sendspace.com – send big files the easy way (http://www.sendspace.com/file/bp8xsj) (42 MB)
I organized the music by the time it was added to the files.

part1 is full of action/battle music from the Star Wars movies. I am assuming that it is used for the Czerka flashpoints on CZ-198, the PVP arenas or the upcoming Space PVP content.

part2 contains a lot of eerie music that sounds original to me, but I am not 100% sure about that.
Also, take note of 426969947.ogg and 699100364.ogg. Those seem to be variants of existing SWTOR music.

part3 contains the music that was added for 2.4. I suppose that you can hear that ominous music in the Oricon daily area and operations.
I don’t really know what to make of music_media-592362058.ogg. The beginning sounds like playful Cantina music, but then it turns into something entirely different. I don’t remember ever hearing that music in-game.

part4 is the music that is included in the current PTS version (possibly for 2.5). I am not sure what it is for.

Also, I very much like the music used in the "Best of PvP" Trailer (Star Wars: The Old Republic "Best of PvP" Trailer – YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61Qa5uefRZ4)), which seems to be a variant of the epicevent_maintheme_choir music. Unfortunately, I could not find this exact version in the game. In the main theme you can hear in the Character Selection screen, the background strings are much louder, and the solo trumpet does not sound nearly as sad as in the trailer.
I wonder how many versions of the main theme they recorded, or whether they created the music for this trailer by just mixing the tracks differently.

I can tell you that 441409053 in part II is from Dxun in KotOR II, 533976306 is from KotOR I…

Part 4-2.5:
47310223 (Ep3),
134393978 (Ep1),
715315047 (second half of it is from KotOR… remix?)

306920135 sounds like it’s from Episode II… the scene where Obi-Wan fights a Droideka on Geonosis. Not sure, though…

From part 2:
125900643: Episode II, Kamino
407027688: Alderaan theme
426969947: Music used in the "PvP Arenas of Death" trailer

Anyway, I need some help from the community as well. I basically have everything sorted and ready for mixing, but there’s one problem. We have a folder of some Undecided cues and I’ve been trying to find if they are some kind of music from the KOTOR series, from the movies, or form TOR. If anyone can help with this, it would go a long way into finishing this.

Download TOR_Undecided.zip from Sendspace.com – send big files the easy way (http://www.sendspace.com/file/5dj957)

4E50A456_A5FA681CCBCFECD1.ogg is from ROTJ

502A6DC6_6869EDD41807AF07.ogg is from ROTJ

991F94F2_5B40B27ED19C8ABE.ogg is from TPM

EFB8469D_4A3BD611DBE38C0A.ogg is from AOTC

Regarding the undecided music:
9588EABB_5C14E65AC1B10E09.ogg doesn’t sound like music from the movies to me, but I may be mistaken.

05EDAF5A_AFCCC78AA20F4C40 = KotOR… at least… I think it’s a remix, it’s when the Star Forge goes down but then it changes.
I can say that 039E0FA1_AA9902D93918EE2E = KotOR. I know it! It may be the main menu or Revan’s reveal or something… I have heard it before.
57E32343_060CA05CE3B26847 = the first part is also from KotOR, when Leviathan is roaming above Taris – the second part sounds like it’s from Revan’s reveal / Bastila fights him / flashback cutscene.
142FFC9C_C358875055A2BE90 = …pretty sure I’ve heard it from the films somewhere, sounds very much like John Williams to me.
201D35AC_DFEB6C2EE66F2BB4 = this keeps using the KotOR "loud thing" – the second half… as I said, it’s when the Leviathan is above Taris.
991F94F2_5B40B27ED19C8ABE = This is all Episode I music… sounds like a remix from various parts.
9588EABB_5C14E65AC1B10E09 = KotOR. It’s the flashback cutscene.
AC40F914_9840C1ACFE95EC48 = I think this is also KotOR, maybe the underwater cutscene on Manaan
E9B55D34_224A76A89E824489 = KotOR for sure.
EB69D128_B1B42F5211C87827 = KotOR for sure.
EFB8469D_4A3BD611DBE38C0A = From the films, if I had to guess it has something to do with Anakin in Episode I or II.

16ED24F6_04D4D0D8D32E0C57 is from K1’s mus_area_enclave from KOTOR.

AE744049_29614C466DEF04C6 is mus_a_001 from K2.

I think B3084D76_D8351A8007CD57D7 and C00D50E7_FEA5D235E27F4D12 are both from KOTOR, but I can’t place them.

I have a list of the ‘undecided’ cues which I can put up on my Google Drive so people can add notes on tracks they are sure are not from SWTOR; that will cut down some of those tracks for sure.

Also we were going to ask if anyone was interested in making some covers for the ‘Discs’ we have? Carsten has made some great ones but Exar and I thought we’d throw it out to you guys as well, obviously people make their own custom covers for these things anyway so why not have some choices on release.

Oh yeah I mentioned release, as an update we have Discs 1 – 4 done pretty much (minus covers and some tagging) and the Disc order is as follows: –

Disc 1 – General & Class Themes – this is all CE tracks apart from Revan’s theme made from two separate cues.
Disc 2 – Planet & Event Themes – this is all CE tracks, nothing new
Disc 3 – Cantina Jukebox – All the cantina themes from the game including instrumentals
Disc 4 – Backgrounds – This is the quiet ambient music which someone pointed out earlier in the thread is slowed down parts of CE tracks but as such is all ‘new’ / not released
Disc 5 – Alternate Themes – This (to me) is the most exciting disc as it contains choirless versions of CE tracks and some alternate mixes. Carsten was working on this and we have some working edits to check through. Not sure how busy Carsten is currently so may need an editor / mixer on board.

This leaves the undecided cues which are a problem on how to tag and release them but if we can get the above out that will be good. Anyone making artwork can PM me for fonts etc if they want and just a side note that those Disc names may change (I recall Exar had some other names for them, not sure).

Carsten and Exar correct me on anything that isn’t right 😉

On the alternates we need to just listen and make sure we’re happy; one thing I do know is we need a straight up choirless version of Occupation of Balmorra and an alternate version that uses B4D25B1D_D995147486EE82B5 as the opening. I think the version you did was a combination of alternate opening and choirless.

This expansion is definitely adding a lot more music than 2.0, even though content-wise it’s feeling smaller.
The music_media-592362058.ogg theme once again makes a resurgence. I previously called it a cantina theme, but it may be related to the space pvp.
Be aware that some of the music may be related to the upcoming Rakghoul event or the Kuat daily area/flashpoint; I guess we’ll have to wait and hear.

Enjoy!

Previously, I wrote that the music does not sound very majestic, and I think I know now why. A lot of the tracks use synthesizers instead of real instruments, not because they reduced the funding for the music but because I believe that the composer wanted to evoke the feeling from the older arcade shooters that did not have instrumental music. Therefore, even though we know the melodies, the style is totally different.

Also, I looked up the names of the music to help with identifying the tracks. 🙂
Automatically matching the tracks to these names is a lot of work and I cannot invest the time into it at the moment, but I hope that this will help anyway.

Oh, and thanks for the link to the new music "SWTOR fan". Now I dont have to go to looking for it.

I’m getting a bit better with photoshop, so if you’d like I can make some covers.

I will wait as long as necessary.

Firestars004

Than you !! 😀

Than you !! 😀
Those are in the complete rip, unless someone has an old complete rip then they won’t have those file names anymore though as they are the Beta release filenames. As far as I know there is no complete rip floating around for download. IF I ever sort something for download it will likely only be TOR tracks.

It’s strange that there is not a official Complete score for ROTS.

No prequel (or any Star Wars film) has an official Complete Score release, to my knowledge.

well, star wars I ultimate edition, it’s like a complete score
For Star Wars IV V and VI, all tracks were recorded and sold on CD (almost all)

But, not for SW II and III…

It’s not even that. The Flag Parade is wrong, the Battle of Naboo is mixed incorrectly in places, and the entire finale from after Qui-Gon dies is not the film version at all (though it’s actually from the sessions, it’s still the exact material found on the original soundtrack).

Thank ggctuk !! ^^

It’s STILL not finished? I know it takes a lot of time and work as I did a giant Red Dead Redemption rip, I understand that. But maybe just release what you have already?

The unorganized files are a mess, duplicates all over as one track is used for more than one in-game event. We’re talking several GBs. It’s just not something I’ve looked into as I don’t just want to release unorganised files. Also I think I have said that if someone wants to take a look and find a better way to get this out there then by all means let me know.

Personally, my reason for wanting them is to get music that’s featured in Kotor, but not among the music files (in cutscenes, for example, obscured by noise), or just to get the music in better quality (because Tor music files are better quality than Kotor ones). That’s because I’m a fan of Kotor and its music, but not too interested in Tor, and don’t even feel like starting to look into getting the game and ripping the music just for this, when someone has already done it.

It’s not exactly breaking the barriers of human achievement these days to upload several GBs of data, there are a number of free services for exactly this. So I just don’t understand why it seems like it’s beneath you to share the original files, especially on this forum, which is even more about sharing than the internet in general.

Really, I can understand the ‘it’s only a few GBs’ but as I’ve said before in these threads I am busy in real life plus I don’t have great Internet so it’s not that simple

As I said all files are unsorted so if you had them all what would you do to find KOTOR files? There are hundreds of them.

As I said all files are unsorted so if you had them all what would you do to find KOTOR files? There are hundreds of them.

By listening to them, obviously. I know Kotor’s music pretty well (since I like it), so it doesn’t take much more than a few seconds, in most cases, to tell if a track is needed or not. Even with hundreds of files, that’s a fair bit of work, yeah, but not exactly a task that’s beyond human achievement. Please don’t worry about me wasting my own time.

You are, of course, not in the least obligated to provide anything here. But zipping up some files and pushing them online isn’t hard, so the worst you’d have to endure is your upload bandwidth being taken up while it uploads, or it taking a long time, if you have especially crappy internet, but even then it could just run in the background.

More than one person here seems interested in the original files, so please give us some basic level of respect, and be honest about it: you can’t be bothered, or maybe think that you deserve the stuff, but not us idiots who don’t know how to rip it, or don’t even have the game, in my case. Because no possible excuse or reason can keep you from doing this simple task for years (since this has been asked before), so please don’t take us for fools. Thank you.

Fair enough, you must know it pretty well if it will only take a few seconds! I’m not worried about your time or what you do with it.

I know it isn’t hard, wanting to release it in a meaningful way, working on it for several years (on and off), taking some music you used to love and working on it for the good of the wider FFShrine community to the point where I don’t listen to the music anymore, having to deal with people’s expectations or moaning, that is the hard part.

Yeah I can’t be bothered, I’m left with something I don’t want, I don’t deserve it more than anyone, as I said I don’t even listen to the stuff anymore. Tell me, you’ve been here for 5+ years and made 10 posts (2 in this thread), what actual contribution have you made or do you just come for the downloads??

See? I do prefer your honesty. Even if it’s ultimately disappointing.

I don’t like being questioned though. Still, if you must know, whatever I create I usually put on YouTube, like this thing for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieet50Y9EmY I might as well have uploaded it on here, just didn’t think of it, to be honest. Look around on my channel for anything else you might like. I’m ready to be judged as a creator of things other people might enjoy and download. Basically I’m not a fan of forum-based sharing of such content, that’s all. But if it makes you feel better, making assumptions based on my post count, then good for you.

I couldn’t care what you’ve done elsewhere since you’ve no idea what I do outside of here. Really cannot be bothered with this so am just going to leave it. Won’t be doing anything until the new year anyway, thanks a lot.

I’d try to make my own take on this, but sadly you guys don’t want to release your tools, and making a release of my own without a way to extract the music with filenames kinda makes impossible to do anything.

. . . perhaps you could request to SWTORFan to release the aforementioned tools to Andrees. I’d think having more folks working on this would speed things along. Seeing as there’s a new expansion recently, it would be even more important to pull more people in.

It includes all music from 1.0 to 5.0. It also has links to all extracted English dialog.

No mp3s though… sorry. I wanted to keep the original quality OGG files.

I also made posts to SWTOR reddit as "cheetordude", so you might have already seen it there.
