Mod Release Original game soundtrack mod

[The Nameless Pirate]

This mod restores the original soundtrack of the Pirates of the Caribbean game, except some key location and storyline music files added by the New Horizons mod. You just paste the PROGRAM folder into the POTC installation folder. Also back up the music_standard.c file.

Works with: Build 14 Beta: 18 April 2019 and newer.
(New game needed)



Have Fun!

File re-uploaded, for: Build 14 Beta: 18 April 2019.

File removed, until i upload the updated file for, Build 14 Beta: 18 April 2019.

You could also mention the version your file is compatible with in your main post; then users would know if it's OK for their version or not.
(Of course they'll ignore it, but that's their responsibility! )

It should be easy to get the file up-to-date with a quick WinMerge comparison.

After only a quick glance at your restored "music_standard" file it looks like there's no difference
between music in cities of different nations. Wasn't that a good idea or am I missing something?

 

[Pieter Boelen]

I assume, if you really want to keep the original game music, there simply isn't enough clear variety to apply it to different nations.

This was and is a good idea since it sets the atmosphere better for each nation, but i wanted the mod to be as close to the original game, for nostalgia purposes.

And as @Pieter Boelen said, even if i wanted to have different music for each nation there is not that much variaty.

Essentially, when i play the Tales of a sea hawk storyline i use my mod, when i will play the Hoist the colours storyline i will use the PoTC movie soundtrack mod and for any other storyline that is added by the New Horizons mod, i will use the default mod soundtrack.
