From the files section of MS:

Title: Metallica MIDIs
Description: Includes
"Nothing Else Matters"
"Creeping Death"
"Fuel"
"Bleeding Me"
"Hero of the Day"
"Master of Puppets"
and "I Disappear"

Editor's Note: With MotD's 2nd midi submission we can see he definately has good taste in music, but again, modern rock can usually only be effective in modern/future style RPG's, of which there are very few.

What the smurf? I used Metallica's "Jump into the fire" as hell background music for one of my previous games, "Call of Cthulhu" is excellent for some cave scenery, "Master of Orion" for almost anything... overworld, perhaps.

As for the midis included HERE, Creeping Death is quite good for some dark scenery (I prefer mostly to use songs when their meaning fits, and this song speaks about antiquity, actually - God sending angel of death as last egyptian plague to kill the pharaoh's first born son), also Hero of the Day is good, not-too-metallic theme.

Heh...

(If you want, I can send you virtually all Metallica midis, as well as most midis from movies / games, I collect these)

What the SMURF? Are we also doing that here? Sheesh, were falling under the power of TKZone, this is no smurfing good!  Laughing

Well, you mention how the songs have dark themes...only the thing is, it's midi files we're talking about, and therefore there are no lyrics. Therefore you can only rely on the music itself, and IMO (which is what the Editor's Note is) they wouldn't sound good in a fantasy style RPG. I listened to all the midi's before writing the Editor's Note, and tried to picture them in a fantasy style RPG, and just couldn't see it working well. If you can make them work well, then great.

As for your midi's; I'll take any resources you decide to submit  Wink

I have 1838 midis at the moment... Guess I might consider picking some part of 'em and sending them to MS  Very Happy Of course, I'll first better choose some better ones.

Hope I don't need to say where they originate from? For as for 1/3 of the midis, I have no freaking idea.

Hmm, my game uses different themes (currently), mostly stuff like techno "flavored" with anvil studio to sound not like techno  Smile Very kewl effect. I use music from mortal kombat (the game, first part, not the movie) or earthworm jim...

If you mean by the place you originally downloaded from, then no, it's not neccesary.

[Cesque]

I mean their original source - from what game or movie they are, by what artist, and such. I simply don't keep track of such things.

[Spyder]

Oh...you mean all your midi's are named things like Midi_138.mid, etc? Yeah...that wouldn't be good. Usually it's best that the artist/title are named, because that kind of stuff is things people are looking for specifically. Original compositions can always be named stuff like Town_02.mid, etc, and there wouldn't be a problem with it. The problem is, if you submit a pack of 100 midi's, and half of them are from Final Fantasy, but you don't know it, then people might rip on you for using those midi's, etc.

i have a midi i downloaded a while ago called Eureka2, and i had no clue where it came from until i did a LOT of searching and figured out it was from Final Fantasy 3 Japanese version.

[Dude Man]

I downloaded a midi pack, and they were all from famouse RPGs like Final Fantasy, Croro Cross and other ones, but since I haven't played any of those (expet for the begining of FF8 and FF9) I had no clue were they were from...silly me... :rolleyes:
