Since no actual OST has been released yet, I would like to know if you had already thought about an 'official' order in which the musics (those of the 'mus' directory) should be listened, as in the game directory, they're in alphabetical order, and as usually, the songs of an OST are in the order in which they're discovered all along the game. If not, I think it'd be a good idea just to decide of an order. This may seem pointless however I care about this kind of stuff.
For instance, I wonder where the musics of the Forest should be, before or after those of Mithala ? (Since those two parts of the game can be done in whatever order the player wants)
I ask this because I'm currently trying to add Aquaria musics to my other OSTs, and that I'd like to have all well ordered.
-
Yes, Alec has come up with an order. The songs follow the order in which an average player would hear the songs. And on the unofficial soundtrack listing, Forest songs come after Mithala songs.
-
Thanks!
Is this order posted somewhere? I have not been able to find it on the forum.
-
I have wondered the same, but I found myself as an average player, so I can somehow imagine the order of the music tracks. Although I'm quite confused by Jukebox-mod :-\ (which uses alphabetical order). I think too that the order is very important for maximum musical experience, as music should follow the story... aka OST. :D
-
Thanks!
Is this order posted somewhere? I have not been able to find it on the forum.
It is not posted... I, uh, have sources. ;)
I'll ask Alec if it's okay for me to post the "unofficial OST song order," but some of the songs on my list may not be in the game. I'm not sure how many he added? In either case I'm sure he won't mind but I'm going to check just to be sure then get back to you. :)
-
some of the songs on my list may not be in the game
Where do they come from? Remixes? I've seen on the forum that some have been done.
-
There's at least 1 non-in-game song in the /mus folder (Quit your jibba jabba and get in the water!).
I put up an unofficial version, which has looping and song numbering (and was also needlessly converted to .mp3, but nevermind that), but still don't know what Alec feels about that sort of thing. There was talk about making a proper OST, long ago.

They come from Alec. I'm his girlfriend :)

Alright, I got the go-ahead... if the titles are different in the directory, then I don't know what I can do for you. It basically follows the storyline of:
early exploration, home cave, song cave, energy temple, Mithalas stuff, Forest stuff, the Veil, Li, Sun temple stuff, stuff heading to the abyss, the abyss, the Ice Veil, Sunken City stuff, the Body and endboss stuff, epilogue and credit stuff.
I have to say that I enjoy listening to the tracks in order as well. It lets me revisit my experience with the game in my head. I hope you get the same enjoyment :)
Here's the complete list:
01. intro
02. title
03. light
04. traveller
05. home
06. cave
07. mystery
08. ancienttest
09. archaic
12. fatal
11. marchofthekrotites
12. undiscoveredwaters
13. miniboss
14. remains
15. cathedral
16. mithala
17. fallofmithalas
18. heartoftheforest
19. hopeofwinter
20. mothernature
21. drunaiddance
22. brightwaters
23. above
24. moment
25. li
26. suntemple
27. sunwormcave
28. sunworm
29. prometheus
30. lostwaters
31. seahorse
32. abyss
33. gullet
34. icywaters
35. sunkencity
36. sunken
37. thebody
38. fallenbreed
39. worship
40. ending part1
41. thereturn
42. losttothewaves
43. prelude

Girlfriend? I thought you were his sister. :o
I reeeeeaally want that OST. XD
-
Girlfriend? I thought you were his sister. :o
Oh my! Hehe, no that would be this young lady right here (http://www.bit-blot.com/forum/index.php?topic=18.msg217#msg217). I'm definitely the girlfriend *nods*
-
Except family matters... Thank you for the list! It's a little bit different what I imagined, I guess main branches are Kelp Forest/Mithalas and Sunkencity/Icy water place (Abyss is a fine example to me, as there are, like, dozens of ways leading to more obvious directions... I totally forgot to investigate the right rear of the Abyss, meaning that Icy Waters was the last place I visited).
Some of the tracks names are unfamiliar to me (without further familiarizing), although I doupt you included extra secret bonus tracks there "accidentally"... :-X
-
Thanks for the tracklist!
There are the tracks I have not found in the mus directory: (11 tracks)
01. intro
04. traveller
05. home
12(10?). fatal
12. undiscoveredwaters
18. heartoftheforest
20. mothernature
23. above
25. li
30. lostwaters
41. thereturn
And there are the tracks of the mus directory that you have not listed: (17 tracks, I excluded tracks 'test.ogg' and 'superflyremix.ogg' as they're not in the game)
arboreal
bblogo
bigboss
flyaway
forestgod
inevitable
licave
lucien
mithalaanger
mithalaend
mithalapeace
openwaters
openwaters2
openwaters3
theend
veil
youth
Weren't there some changes in the songs names? And for instance, hasn't 'worship' been splitted? (There is 5 tracks called worshipX.ogg in the 'mus' dir, corresponding to the 5 shapes of the final boss)
"Prelude" is the last track??
-
did it get a new name or is arboreal not on the 1st cd :(
Some tracks got named differently on the CD than what their filenames were in the game.
:)
-
That's the official CD then? Odd that it's missing all the vs Mithala tracks.

Intro is probably naija_intro-music from the vox folder
Traveller is openwaters
Home is youth
Undiscovered Waters is openwaters3
Heart of the Forest would be arboreal
Mother Nature is forestgod
Above is probably veil
Li is almost certainly licave
The Return would be theend
Fatal is probably bigboss
Lost Waters I'm guessing is openwaters2
Mithala (track 16) probably includes anger/end/peace
That just leaves inevitable, lucien, and flyaway, which are still conspicuous by their absence.
Lucien and flyaway are at least somewhat understandable. Inevitable.. I don't actually remember it from the game, which makes it hard to place (I'm sure it was in there, I just don't remember when)
-
Okay! So this gives us:
01 naija_intro-music (intro)
02 title
03 light
04 openwaters (travellers)
05 youth (home)
06 cave
07 mystery
08 ancienttest
09 archaic
10 bigboss (fatal)
11 marchofthekrotites
12 openwaters3 (undiscoveredwaters)
13 miniboss
14 remains
15 cathedral
16 mithala
17 mithalaanger
18 mithalaend
19 mithalapeace
20 fallofmithalas
21 arboreal (heartoftheforest)
22 hopeofwinter
23 forestgod (mothernature)
24 druniaddance
25 brightwaters
26 veil (above)
27 moment
28 licave (li)
29 suntemple
30 sunwormcave
31 sunworm
32 prometheus
33 openwaters2 (lostwaters)
34 seahorse
35 abyss
36 gullet
37 icywaters
38 sunkencity
39 sunken
40 thebody
41 fallenbreed
42 worship1
43 worship2
44 worship3
45 worship4
46 worship5
47 endingpart1
48 theend (thereturn)
49 losttothewaves
50 prelude
And you're right, this leaves us inevitable, lucien, and flyaway.
Any idea where they're to be put? (I do not remember where they're exactly in the game)
And I still find weird that "Prelude" should be put at the end...
-
Lucien is heard in both the beginning and end IIRC; I put it after 'title'. Hum, no it's not, it's only in towards the end. I confused it with the music heard in vox\naija_intro-music.ogg. I think it's just before Fly Away, then.
Inevitable is heard when the King Jellyfish (?) closes in on you in that one room in the Abyss.
Flyaway... well, it's definitely after The Return, but I'm not sure if Lost to the Waves comes before it as well.
(also mithalaend should come just before Fall of Mithalas)
-
That's the official CD then?
No it's the unofficial CD, since he hasn't completed the project. If he does decide to go ahead with making a physical soundtrack, the song order might change a bit. Who knows! But glad you guys are sorting out all the discrepancies. :)
-
Well, well, well...
This could be like it:

48_The_End.ogg
49_Lucien.ogg
50_Fly_Away.ogg
51_Lost_To_The_Waves.ogg
52_Prelude.ogg
I'd put 'Inevitable' at position 37, right between 'Gullet' and 'Icy Waters', do you agree?
Well, this is a bit of a tough work! ;)
I would also put the first songs in this order:
01_Prelude.ogg
02_Title.ogg
03_Naija_Intro-music.ogg
04_Light.ogg
since it's the order they come in during the very first part of the game.
-
I agree with the order for the first four, as well as the placement for Inevitable.
I'm fairly certain Lucien and Fly Away come after Lost to the Waves, though (unfortunately I can't check, since I keep accidentally saving over my endgame files).
Also, without knowing why Alec chose to have Prelude last, I'm not sure whether they would be placed before it or after.
For narrative purposes, I'd also put vox/eric.ogg between Ending Part 1 and The End.
-
Let's sum up again! :)

Thank you all for your participation, by the way! ^-^

Prelude is definitely at the very end.
Moment and Li_cave should be swapped if we're going with the in-game order, since Moment is when they kiss, and you're in the cave before that...
Then there's vox/title3.ogg, which you hear just before the Title music starts up if you go through the intro.
I'd put them like this (after some renaming, hopefully its clear which are which)
