The music in Split Vendetta is 100% kino

[Matthew94]

Sure, X3 has stuff like Kingdom End which is great but on a track for track basis, Split Vendetta is just so ****** goooooooooooooooood. It's pretty much the only X soundtrack that I listen to semi-regularly on Spotify, The others I have in a mega-playlist but SV on its own is great,

I must say I quite agree to that, the music in this DLC really convey the bleak situation of the Split society !

This is a good theme to explore for border sectors close to known and unknown dangers.

Kudos to Alexei for that

Indeed... too bad we have to tolerate the CoH in the beginning... Sick and tired of the "heroic" chorus... Maybe an option to choose form the original intro, SV and CoH (and any other coming DLC) would be a good step ahead...

That would be nice, dtpsprt! I came in with 4.0, so I've never even seen/heard the Split menu screen. I wouldn't have seen the original, either, if it wasn't for public betas.

You can disable CoH/SV DLC from the menu and be able to listen to old music again

Speaking of that, there was a track that played in X3 when you ventured into Xenon territory that was *perfectly* matched to the locale with a kind of foreboding rogue AI / threatening / Yer gonna die sound. Is that what you're referring to? I've often wondered what it was and have never heard it anywhere else. Sorta miss that

I have all three soundtracks and can play them stand alone but that is not what everyone else is talking about. Disabling the DLCs is not an option since the player will loose the (payed) content on them right?

You can't disable a DLC and continue playing a save game that used to have that DLC enabled, but you could start a new game.

Another point I didn't make... thanks for the "support"...

If I'm right Kingdoms End is the specific tune for the Kingdoms End sector (Top left corner of the X3 map?) My favourite tune in any game and just an amazing tune to chill to out of game.

I'm experimenting with this, thanks for sharing!
I still have some original combat music playing from time to time, event after replacing all the one shown in the tutorial
I'll probably post that in the wiki once I have figured out everything.

I recommend Darkstar One music, they have some pretty good pieces and it's only a few bucks on Steam right now!

I believe you updated the wiki page?
If so, a big thanks, I was looking for those suspense track.
Next step, I'll try to find the docks ambiance an maybe the bar and trader ones.

I guess it wouldn't take much work to just have placeholders files added by Egosoft, especially for combat/suspense music since they don't seem to be linked to a specific type of combat.
That would definitely help having more variety in the combat tunes.

Not my wiki page, but I'm glad somebody made it based on my post! If somebody edits the wiki, you could change the title to make it clear this change is vanilla-friendly, which is a big deal! You can make much bigger changes if you're willing to go modified.

I created the wiki page but someone removed it and created a different one with a different title (removing the "without modified tag" in the process).

I'm one of those "vanilla only" players although I try mods from time to time. Definitely do not want "modified" tag, especially for just changing music

[tomchk]

They removed the most important part? Good grief…

[gorman2040]

It's still in the text so I thought it was still OK but yeah, not sure why they removed that.
