Hey guys, over the past year or so while working on Lumoria I took the liberty of converting alot of the music files from Halo 2. This isn't all of them, but its a considerable amount.

Almost all of them loop, and if they do its pretty damn good. I had to work on a few of them to get it right.

Place the entire "halo2" folder in tags\sound\

This also includes some ambiance sound tags, though they aren't fixed up and I'm not sure what anyone would want them for. But there included anyway, so if you want them use em.

I also just noticed this includes a folder called "drips" and "drip". Drip is one from Halo 2 "Gravemind" that I never got to loop, and "Drips" is from a site called OCremix (though it loops n' stuff). We were originally going to use drips inside the caves in Lumoria.

Music by Martin O'Donnell/Bungie

I've also noticed that alot of people aren't too keen or good at looping/creating sound tags. If you guys want me to make a small tutorial illustrating how to, please say so down below.

Downloading, Thnx 4 the tags :)

This is pretty good.

I've only been able to extract level dialouge, not AI dialouge. There might be another program out there that does it though, im not sure. I've bee using ADI.

I'll do that once I have more of the music in place. I'm still missing a few tracks on some levels im trying to get, might have to use the suites and make them myself.

Use Ambiance http://www.mediafire.com/?w24yxg5vfyy
Also AI dialog sounds weird.

I have elites,cmt has flood,marines uhh...

No those will work fine to if it's the sound files themselves.There's alot of ways to get H2 sound tags.

Thx Higuy.
You should upload these to Hmaps.

actually i will release,and the dialog is never leaked =\

I remember your other dialogue getting leaked...

Percent progress please?

Did you install the sound type :\
Works fine for me. I extract sounds for my maps.
Also when I rip the dialog it comes out sounding different but I can understand what there saying.

dialog is 100% setup,my elites are about 89.67% done.

This is nice. Glad someone finally released nice looping tags from Halo 2.

Pretty much this

I made a tutorial anyway, pretty short and easy to follow (except the looping part) and explains pretty much everything you need to know.

Ill update when its up on vimeo.

Why didn't you use drips in the caves?

the lodeman did not want it

lol, just becuase im the leader dosen't mean i do every thing i want. you have to make compromises and be open minded with other members, otherwise everything would fall apart and every team member, including myself would be unmotivated.

complaining about certain things does get you somewhere, but you get further if you explain wh... I just lost my patience for typing XD

Lol higuy, your avatar quote made me laugh. "TM Lead" :o teh leader.

FYI everybody, Juan is L28, because he was banned and is now using a proxy to access halomaps. Pathetic.

knew that since last week's spammer attack

tut up

LOL















no

You must learn to trust the judgement of the lodeman, youung padawan.

Except when it comes to this.
It doesn't feel very halo-ish.

All a leader is supposed to honestly do is collaborate what the majority of the group wants and organize the group's events. In other words, doing what he would want to do just because he's the leader would be bad for the group and the group's final product.

Im assuming it would have no lyrics, either way.. It just doesnt give that 'halo or alien' feel for me. :/

dont be so sure, he may be still. But that song if played at the right time, without the lyrics & edited slightly; could come with quite a good result for a game.

It was an obvious joke >_>

given the terrible voice acting its kind of hard to tell if the music suggestion was serious

these guys aint no marty

there's in fact a connection in the fact that if the lumoria devs thought those voices sounded good, I'd hate to know what music they think sounds good

you do know that marty writes the music and oversees all of the audio in the games, right? all of it

The bad voiceacting was caused by deadlines. I'll hold my tongue this time, but if Episode 2 is bad expect some bad mouthing from me.

if you guys didn't care that your voice acting was bad and you only cared about the story getting across, why did you continue to respond with such constant hostility

"scientific data", pff. I guess making sarcastic comments is too complex of a concept for you people. I'm lolling myself to sleep tonight

Like Lod3x stated, we never said our voice acting was great or even good. Everyone has there overall opinion on what it sounds like, and most people come to think its not that good.

However, having voice acting quality and trying to figure out a good piece of music to fit with an encounter have nothing in common, so uh...

and how dare you find enjoyment in releasing lumoria to the public over the internet
