Bards of Vvardenfell



I have made the Bards who would play, play. Though I'm still waiting on some new music, I thought I'd share what I have so far, let me know if everything is working alright. Thanks.

I think it should be working right, but let me know if you spot anything. The only one I know for sure is that the audience doesn't always clap. Also accepting suggestions, within reason ;) .

I have a few maybe things I might want to add once I have some new songs to work with.

I also added idle markers and some light ai to the Suran Dancing Girls. If anyone knows how to make them dance, let me know, I could use your help.

@donAllister & the rest of the Team:
I think it would be better if we would use the .xwm format over .wav at all times. Wave files are not compressed and give a massive size to any package. The CK does not allow the selection of  .xwm as a valid sound file but TES5Edit can be used to set the correct file path. The files will play in the CK and in game as .xwm.

We could convert all .wav files from the entire Skywind asset package into .xwm to reduce the overall size plus make it look more professional.

donAllister I made a package for you to test, I'm not telling what to do its just something to consider, .xwm tools are included:

I'll have a look at it. I've not worked with that file type before.

Sjors, I thought I'd check, When I go to edit my sound descriptor and changes from the wav to a xwm of the same song, I don't see the xwm as an option.

Definitely. You can use wave all you want during dev but packaging should only contain xwm. There are tools that can convert in batch.

Again, I can't seem to use the xwm in a Sound Descriptor. Since all of the songs are run through Sound Descriptors, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do here.

Or, if that's the same as the dialogue, you can do all your configuration using wav and when you're ready to package, convert to xwm.

I have a 4 day weekend, I will give it a shot. If the songs still play well, I'll make the switch.
