Man, this is sweet!  Two things though: The track Endingpart doesn't seem to do anything, and I don't think I've heard the prometheus track before.  Could it be the secret one?

edit: OH.  MY. GOSH.  Superflyremix.  Best thing since sliced bread.

Two things:

1) Is it possible to make it so that when one track finnishes it automaticly cycles to the next one? It could be a new button "turn cycling on/off" or something. And if that's possible it would be cool to have a "random cycle" button that when cycling, chooses a random next song. :D

2) I just made a Mods List thread. It would be cool to see this mod added to the list, Dolphin's Cry. ;)

Great job on doing this stuff! It looks nice and works perfectly, the only one thing  I miss are the control buttons.

To bad Aquaria doesn't work in a system background - I downloaded it only to get more frustrated because of this  :(. Because of the beautiful game music, now I can't sleep without thinking about it. Waiting for the soundtrack guys, and nothing will ever replace good 'ol soundtrack disc!  :D

Awesome job.

The music of the game is fantastic I really cant wait for a soundtrack. However is there anyway of making the game still play music whilst in the background? I want to be able to listen to the awesome music whilst doing other things :)

I don't know if that is possible. Currently I just override the background music. I would need some way of knowing when a track is over to implement your idea.

Done. :)

As far as know that is not possible. We'll have to wait for the soundtrack.
Can you hear the dolphin's cry?

*spoilers*
During the ending, when the creator tells the story of his past, a piano piece with the title music plays that I really want to listen to without having to beat the ending over and over.  Is there an original name to this song/can it be included in this mod?

ummm..... wheres the actual mod file? according to the mod guide there's supposed to be a .xtml file or something to put into the _mod file in program files, but all that download got me was a ".rar" file that my computer can't do anything with... *puzzles*

RAR is an archive format like ZIP. You need some program to extract the mod files from it. Any recent archiver should be able to handle RAR files, like 7-Zip, WinZip, or WinRar to just name a few.

Exactly what I was about to say. Also, welcome to the boards! I'm guessing you made an account just to ask for the piano piece  :).

Sure, if someone knows the name of that song, I can add it.

Hmm, that's the problem with the current system, we can use all the main game stuff (not maps AFAIK), but we have to know its name, which is tricky.

Is there somewhere on the wiki that has the names of all the songs?

All the songs are in the jukebox I believe. That track isn't a song, its a voice file.

Hmm, maybe a sound test mod could be next... listen to all the sounds in the game. That would be fun!

There must be sooooooo many sounds. And most of them are probably a second or two long. It would be kinda rediculous to listen to some hit noise on loop.  :D

But, it could be good. And more mods = better (unless they are that nude mod....I don't have a pole long enough to push that away... lol).

Well, I was figuring it would be done a bit differently than the Jukebox mod. Instead, it would show the names of some number of sounds at a time (maybe 16 or 20, displayed in two columns), and you could click on the name to play the sound once, rather than in a loop. You could page through the list in a similar fashion to the recipe list in the game.

I'd really like it, because it would allow me to go back and listen to dialog clips from the game. I've been toying with the idea of going ahead and doing it, but I have a son that's due to be born any time now, so I can't really commit to something like that at this point. I could get around to it eventually, when things calm down, but my feelings would not be hurt if someone else beat me to it. The main thing that would be tricksy would be getting the entire list of sound clips!
