[Music] I know this is late but..

..Minstrel's Lament kinda was the defining track for Gaias for me. Can you please replace the BG2 music or whatever with it? (replace to still save the filesize) . The song, unlike the other imported tracks, felt so well integrated into the theme of the game. I know that most people don't care about this, and that you've made a poll some time ago, but in this case better late than... ps. I will give you 10 mana crystals for it + Yarr Pirate Zwei.

If the track is too big, another similar one is Gwen's Theme from Guild Wars or Auriel's Ascension from Oblivion - both by the same composer Jeremy Soule.

I removed the track because we needed the map space for something else.

The BG2 songs have a very high compression and are rather short, that's why they are still inside. But even those will have to go eventually.

The other files did not sound well with this high amount of compression.

What about the Lonelywood Theme, Zwieb? Did it make it? Please, tell me it did! :<

Nah, only the two BG themes left. And as I said, I will remove them as soon as we need the space. But currently, we still have 1 megabyte of unused space, so this might take one or two major updates.

I was thinking about this for a while, but.....is there any chance to make it possible to choose a HUD from one of the four default ones now that the music is gone? I don't understand why you cannot choose one in the first place and have to be a random race. With most of the themes being gone it'd be nice to be able to choose from one of the four themes wc3 offers by default together with a HUD of each race.

The music is still hand-selected and changes depending on the area you are in (in dungeons, you will most likely hear undead themes, while when being in swampland areas, you hear nightelf themes, in mytargas, you hear "sad" themes, etc.).
So changing the race doesn't change music. I want to use music in a way it adds to the atmosphere and not leave it to the game what to play.

Changing the races manually to allow different HUDs should be possible. Haven't quite checked it out yet (I think as soon as I make the race changable, you can also set the player handicap, which might bug up some stuff).
