Music modding? Wow! (but please, no techno. It does not fit)

@REITERPALLASCH Added music modding ;)

@Thraxus Apologies if that is the case. The update included some scripts but I am surprised it caused your game to break as the scripts are pretty lightweight. If you're interested enough to confirm you could get Groove Wizard's Modding Development Tools mod, and check the log it outputs to your Steam WH3 folder. I'm reluctant to roll it back as it's been updated to accommodate some new features but if there is a script error that's causing it that would show in the log and be good if you can report that here and I'll fix things.

What was tonight's update? Nothing in the change logs.

@COU Team Projects
Because the save was working fine, then I closed my game, reopened later, and none of the saves with that game would load, and this was the only thing that updated.

How do you know it broke your save?

@Thraxus
Yeah, think it did the same for me

is there a way to revert to the version before today's update? It broke my save x3 No worries if not.

no you should not have both enabled

I did not. The description on the other said I could only have one enabled...

I can try having both enabled if that makes a difference.

Did you have both this and the temp fix enabled?

Tried the temp fix but the VO for Throgg is still broken. There are no unit response barks on him or on the campaign selection. I think only the quest battle VO is there now.

would using this cause crashes? if it wont idc about new voice lines

Okay so temporary fix can be found here:

PLEASE FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE MODS PAGE.

lol! Automaton that’s a wild take my dude, you okay over there?

The audio mixer does indeed need an update to account for the new VA added. I appreciate everyone’s patience in the meantime. Modded audio will still work and the new stuff will unfortunately not until an update is made.

@Automaton In A Thong
Not sure why idiots keep on posting. Perhaps they should pass their sock puppet to someone else or just not post.

Not sure why mod authors seem so allergic to keeping their mods up to date. Perhaps they should pass it to someone else or not make mods.

Hello the mod is outated in my mod manager uptate please

This mod seems to interfer with the new voices and voicelines added by the new update, just a heads up.

is it due to this that some heroes use the voice lines of faction leader?

The mod does not need an update, it loads just fine.

Quick PSA folks - CTDs are caused by database, script, and xml conflicts. Guess what this mod doesn’t have?? Any. Of. Those. Things.

Seems to crash the game with the Araby submod as of date posted, certain lines cut off and results in crashes with some voicelines. Notably the magician caster lord in my case. No crashes related to character selection with the mod disabled.

outdated?

I can confirm it still works with mods that requires Audio Mixer.

is it working with current version of the game?

Update Please !

@Pear I also compared WH2 and WH3 just now, and the menu music is fine—it previously seemed like some parts were missing, and that impression stuck in my memory.

Regarding WH1's music, I meant that, for example, when starting as Markus Wulfhart in WH2, we get music from WH1, which closely resembles this track https://youtu.be/hwc1-qpmZ38?si=yGJWdHBgqe6uoCvq . In WH3, a similar but not identical track might play in the same campaign, and it's not always the same.

If I understand correctly, the developers of WH3 created a lot of new music and added it to the rotation of track playback. The music from WH1 carried over into WH2, for which they only created new music for the new races (Skaven, Elves, etc.), but in WH3, they took a different approach.

I hope you understand what I mean.

@< blank > I've just checked in WH2, and the DLCs backgrounds in the main menu have the same music as they do in WH3. Changing the background in WH3 also does change the music. I've not got WH1 installed to test but what do you think is missing from that?

@BasedMemes naah m8 ppl are clueless, keep up the good work btw you have no idea how much the community appreciates the modders

There’s a wiki page blank. Or you can go to the modding den discord. Although sound modeling is a pretty new thing that not many people know how to do to my knowledge there’s around four or five of us that know how so if you want to learn the ropes of specifically that you might be better off waiting for the YouTube guide we will make when the new tool for asset editor launches

@Pear Where can I find information about modding TTW3? Is there a PDF or any general introductory information about the tools? I know nothing about it. For example, The Witcher 3 has an introductory guide to modding.

Xan I'm aware why people ask, I just feel like after near a decade of TWWH the community should be a little more up to speed on how modding works.

@< blank > It can be done. Just need to find someone with interest to do it :)

@xan I'll update the mod this weekend.

@BasedMemes m8 the reason why people are telling you to update the mod is because when they launch the game they see this yellow exclamation mark icon next to your mod, if you have any influence over this symbol, fixing it will clear up all confusion.

Is it still impossible to bring back the music from WH1 in 2025? What’s the current situation?

Besides that, WH3 not only lacks music from the previous games, but something else that few people notice—the main menu music is broken. In WH2, each DLC had a unique theme in the main menu, but in WH3, changing the background in the main menu doesn’t change the music. people paid for this.

No load order does not matter here for those items. Or any others tbh.

does load order matter? What about with other audio mods, like louder thudding crossbows, audio levels rebalanced, etc?

@Gleen Cross Music is still in the works, but I'm curious what do you mean, by the old warriors of chaos music, was there some of it that wasn't ported from a previous game or something?

The mod was not updated because of anyone’s instance. I added audio for a mod that hasn’t released yet so that when it does release it’ll work day one with no fuss from the mixer.

The thing with modding is anything is possible. It just depends on how much work a person is willing to throw at it. I personally won’t touch music with a ten foot pole unless it’s for like COU, Nippon, Hung, or any other project I’m personally involved with. Especially vanilla music for a vanilla culture. I just lack any passion to drive the amount of work it would take. But that doesn’t mean someone else won’t want to.

I've seen you just updated the mod after people insisted so much, lol anyway, do you think it's possible to substitute the soundtrack? I bet many people miss the old Warriors of Chaos music, to hear Daemons of Chaos music playing as Norsca just feels wrong

so how do i know the mod is working

sorry its working!!!

Really? all this mods for example OVN depends of you!!!

Update what exactly? I don’t know how many times we have to keep repeating that this doesn’t have any database or script that will cause a crash. If you’re getting a crash it’s someone else’s mod, narrow down which mod causes the crash and go over to their page and talk to them.

Need to report that to OVN.....its crashing!!!!! update it please.

Garfuncle you’re in the wrong place my dude. Need to report that to OVN.
