What can I do if the song's loop is longer than the original song's loop? I tried just flat out replacing the original file with another music file and it worked up until around the original track's loop mark (around 1 minute-ish) while the song I'm trying to import is in its entirety of 4 minutes. Does anyone know which file has the data that dictates how long each track plays until it loops again?

Edit: Never mind about the first part. However, it would still be very nice if someone knew of how to change the time limit until the songs loop though.

damn file size limit...;_;

can anyone explain to me why exactly a larger file can't be used?  is MBAC literally programmed to look at a fix location on 10.p per song?

From my experimentation, a larger file could technically be used but it wouldn't make a difference either way since apparently the game is programmed so that it loops after the length of the original song. So basically if you tried to replace a 1:06 song with a 3:58 song the longer song will loop at the point where the shorter song ends.

The thing is, there are two ways to "import" the songs. One way is the way explained in the second post, which is to use the "import" feature. Another way is to use the "add file" feature, where you basically add any file you want and rename it the file that you want it to replace (e.g. 10 0002), while deleting the file that you want to replace (in this example, also 10 0002) and it works because the game only checks the .ogg with the originally assigned filename and plays that one.

Also, from what I understand, if you use the second method then the file is played from its location on your PC rather than actually being imported into the 10.p file since my 10.p file did not change in size after the "add file" and thus the game should actually be playing the bigger file. What's more, is that it actually does work! That is, it works in the sense that it actually plays the file you added regardless of its size but STILL loops at the same point. If you export the song or open the song it'll show that the length of the file that the game plays isn't shortened either, but the looping problem persists regardless.

So from that I concluded that the real problem here is the programming of the game with the places that songs loop on certain stages. This is why I asked in my previous post if anyone knows how to access the source of that programming code, preferably and most likely within the game files, because it would be very very helpful if we want to have loops that are longer than one pathetic minute.

Edit 3: Of course, we can stick to reducing the quality but it'll still cap out at around 1:15 unless you want horrible quality songs. Not only that, but some stages seem to be a pain in the ass to loop songs on.

Edit 4: Anyone know how to get rid of the very slight pause right when the song loops? My cut music files are continuous from the beginning (which shouldn't matter) to the end (it ends with sound and not silence) :psyduck:

Edit 5: Never mind, I figured out the above problem with the slight pause at the end of the loop. Stupid Audacity  :prinny: :prinny:

I am thinking about making a remix with music from Crow's Claw and MintJam. They cover MB tracks at hard rock and it would be still somehow the original OST.

But I can't upload it anyway, just ISDN.

I've made a few Touhou additions to my game, replacing Sion's, Warakia's, and Kohaku's music, as well as a change only the veterans will recognize. I'm pretty content with my playlist now, but if anyone else wants a full transformation to ZUN's compositions, tell me and I'll get started.


Note: The attached jumps a bit, but it was the closest I could get to looping correctly without deleting too much on either end, or making it sound like muck. Replaces 44, in case it wasn't obvious. I'll work on it a bit more when I get home.

I was hoping to replace it with Tsukihime's title song, but looping the character select music is stupidly hard...

I have a list of songs that i listen to while playing, and they fit very well.

Problem is, I don't have a lot of time nowadays, so these are basically the raw songs, and I haven't converted or snipped them yet. I might update this if I ever get some time.

I uploaded a RAR of these songs.

It's a Fukumoto mix, meaning that it's exclusively music from Kaiji and Akagi.

I have a .txt file in there with notes and telling which song should go where.

10 00002  sion - chuu zawa inst 1
10 00003  Akiha - Unmei No Rashinban
10 00004  V. akiha - beginning
10 00006  maids - Tsuginaru Kyokumen
10 00007  v. sion - Lot
10 00008  Warakia - Yuetsu no Kyouichi
10 00009  arc - despair
10 00010  kohaku - Zenseiryoku No Shuuketsu
10 00011  Nero - Dai zawazawa 1
10 00012  warc - ko zawazawa 2
10 00013  len - this world
10 00014  Nanaya - Hikari no Uzu
10 00015  Aoko - Taikyoku Wo Oete
10 00016  white len - memories
10 00017  Shiki - Wish
10 00018  ciel - Defeated again
10 00019  mech hisui - gouwan
10 00020  neco arc- kaiji
10 00021  miyako - child's mind
10 00022  Hisui - shingi
10 00023  Kouma - Ko zawa inst 1
10 00024  satsuki - chorus
10 00025  New Stage 1 (Neon Street) - rest
10 00026  New Stage 2 (Alternate Arc Stage) - stagnation
10 00027  New Stage 3 (alternate Kouma Stage) - chaos
10 00028  neco arc chaos - man racetrack
10 00042  Fight Intro - line of light (take a snippet out of this)
10 00043  Fight End - Makeinu-tachi no Requiem (first few seconds)
10 00044  char select - kinpaku


Here's the link to all these songs I uploaded

Juno Reactor? Sounds like some good shit to me. Can we get the upload up for that mix? For my mix, I was thinking about adding a track from them. Same with some ambient music, as it's easy edit job for those kind of songs, since they naturally loop. So you can pick your favourite parts and mix them in quick.

Del is a pretty good artist, but I'm sure that wasn't the link you mean't to post :psyduck:

I'm done with Tinshi's Juno mix, I just need to get it off my external HDD so I can upload it. I should be able to get it up today, seeing as how I'll be heading over to the house that currently holds my HDD.

But for now, I've completed a new rap mix suited to my tastes, and will be done with another mix I've been working on for the week.

EDIT: http://www.sendspace.com/file/nva0vb The new rap mix melty

EDIT2: My pride and glory, the MBAC capsule remix. I'll post up tracklistings for both these mixes later, I've gotta get ready to go somewhere.

when the file is too big, it overwrites the next track with silence, when it's too small, it just doesn't work!  has anyone figured out the general file size difference limit?

*edit*

well, i found the method roughly.  I uploaded a rough version of my custom track which uses Ragnarok Online music.
http://weaboo.org/uploads/index.php?&direction=0&order=&directory=custom%20soundtracks

however, i've found that after attempting to go in a 2nd time to edit, some of the files are not listed as ogm. instead of ogg. and i can't preview them anymore.

they still work in-game, but for some reason they are read incorrectly by the extractor.  any clues?

Here is the one I made. Its sort of a beta version because none of the songs loop. I just wanted to figure out how to make a soundtrack before perfecting looping and matching songs with stages and such.

Hay. I finished my OST where I took all the MB music and replaced it with Guilty Gear music that fit the character/stage/matched the old music. Or failing at that,  I also spent about 60~80 hours getting every song to perfectly loop and improving the quality. So, thus, I present the

TOO MUCH FUCKING EFFORT OST
GUILTY BLOOD XX OST
HERE COMES DAREDEVIL OST

Melty Gear XX Ost.

Mirror from uLTraCarL: http://ultracarl.com/MB/(Xie)_Melty_Gear_XX_Custom_OST.rar

The only song that completely shits is the stage that uses Eddie's music. I had to crank the quality pretty far down to get that fucker to fit on the stage. I'll probably release an AC version with arcade mode tweaks later when or if I ever get my hands on the announcer's voice soundbite so I can improve the select character song.

Current Song List:
10 00002  Sion Stage - Make Oneself
10 00003  Akiha Stage -  Awe of She
10 00004  V.Akiha Stage - Writhe In Pain
10 00006  KohaHisui Stage - Primal Light
10 00007  V.Sion Stage - Bloodstained Lineage
10 00008  Warakia Stage - Keep in Gates
10 00009  Chaos Stage - A Solitude That Asks Nothing in Return
10 00010  Kohaku Stage - Babel Nose
10 00011  Arc Stage - Elegance
10 00012  Warc Stage - Existence
10 00013  Ren Stage - Simple Life
10 00014  Nanaya Stage -  Momentary Life
10 00015  Aoko Stage - The Midnight Carnival
10 00016  White Len Stage - Good Manners and Customs
10 00017  Shiki Stage - Nothing out of the ordinary
10 00018  Ciel Stage - Holy Orders (Be Just or Be Dead)
10 00019  Mech Hisui Stage - Burly Heart
10 00020  Neko Arc Stage - The Original
10 00021  Miyako Stage - Blue Water, Blue Sky
10 00022  Hisui Stage - Pride and Glory
10 00023  Kouma Stage - Let's get Down to Business
10 00024  Satsuki Stage - Suck a Sage
10 00025  Neon Street - Haven't you got eyes in your head?
10 00026  Red Moon Park - Eddie Feel a fear
10 00027  Charred Remains - Keep yourself alive
10 00028  Neco Arc Chaos Stage - The Original
10 00042  Fight Intro - VS
10 00043  Fight End - Go for it!!
10 00044  Character Select - D.O.A
