Making a music mod, open to suggestions

[Tio Mega Man X]

Made this as an experiment

I am planning to replace more tracks, right now the easy part is replacing almost all tracks except the garden's (the file contains multiple tracks and will break if I replace any on the middle) and the general bgms (boss battle, game over, npcs, etc.) so I would like to hear your suggestions, Galleon Minerva obviously has been decided.

Bonus points if you DON'T suggest anything from SotN, I mean, I am pretty sure I will use a few tracks from that one but people would just replace all tracks with SotN given the choice, also, don't expect Simon's theme to be in the selection because the only Simon in this game is dead.

I'd say Bloody Tears - Dawn of Sorrows would fit the Dian Cecht Cathedral

[suthi2]

yes i want a song replace like vampire hunter or bloody tear(and why not both lol)

Just keep in mind I am kind of picky with context and content, Vampire Killer in a game where the only pseudo-vampire is Bathory (AKA Bloodless) would be kind of weird, Bloody Tears in cathedral may be almost pushing it but may work depending on the version so I will be checking those.

[Hoshikudaki]

It depends on the version of bloody tears.
I think this video covers most of them

Edit: I mixed this up with After Confession which is used as the bgm in Dark chapel for Dawn of sorrow. Thought bloody tears was played here, both sort of fit but I just like listening to Bloody Tears.

My friend, I would say the versions of Castlevania songs from Harmony of Despair if you want Castlevania BGM in the game. Or better yet, a complete port from Bloodstained Curse of The Moon for ROTN if you want to keep things in the house and have an 8Bit feel.

P.S.: There is a tutorial somewhere about the production of music mods to Unreal Engine games? I'm interested in make some music mods for Bloodstained too. Thanks in advance.

I went to the discord of bloodstained mods (you can find the link on the subreddit), they provide the needed tools there with the exception of the latest Eternity audio tool, it is quite simple except on the part where you can't correctly replace a track inside a file that contains multiple like the general BGM or the garden bgm container (which also has the fairy song tracks.)

Isn't that the SotN Orloc theme?

[Mystic Myotis]

Are you thinking of using Castlevania/Yamane music in particular?
Use music from Lament of Innocence, Curse of Darkness, Harmony of Despair, and Judgment, then.. oh, and SMASH!
Obviously, you can go check out the OSTs on Youtube.

My favorites from LoI's OST are:

Gaze Up at the Darkness
Hail from the Past
Hymnus
Into the Dark Night
Pitch-Black Intrusion

Well, Yamane would get some priority but I am actually trying to add a lot of variety even with Castlevania 4, Rondo, Circle of the Moon, etc.

If you want high-end versions of songs that haven't been officially redone, you may want to look at fan remixes/covers, but I would be hesitant to do that without getting permission from the individual people first.

Oh, there's also Skullgirls, you might want to think about using some music from that game.

I'll make sure to link the channel of the person in those cases considering a few of those I have seen haven't updated in ages.

Or Dance of gold.

We dont need all SOTN songs just Dance of Pales , Dance of Gold, Wood Carving Partita, and maybe Crystal Teardrops.

I have a suggestion: Can you make a mod that replaces the music with CURSE OF THE MOON music? Perhaps a mod that accessed the music files of Curse and uses them in Ritual for those who own both (and who wouldn't)? Obviously a few extra tracks would also be needed, but I mainly want the Curse music in here. Ritual's music is lackluster (so far I only really like Twin Dragon Tower, Hall of Termination, and the boss music). Defilier of Taboos needs to be the music for the Library.

Oh and use VRC6 AQUARIUS from Castlevania 3 for the Underground Waterway.

Oh and how about the music Trick Manor from Circle of the Moon and Castlevania 4 for the two labs not counting the Oriental Lab.

I'll also go crazy here and suggest HertzDevil's "Extends Levant" for the Hall of Termination and Perturbator's "Future Club" for the Glacial Tomb.

That said, how does modding even work here? There is no workshop. Which... I can't work out why ALL games don't get workshop support to make modding simple. It's not TRUE mod support without workshop support.

It has a few roadblocks in the form of metadata which requires me to use an exact same track length for the replacement, the BS:CotM tracks would basically need to be extracted or downloaded and adapted the same way I am doing with the other tracks, as for mod support if anything the game has some good mod support for what it is but certainly almost none for music mods.
