Matrix Games Forums

Good morning. I'm playing the game with the music from WitP:AE, renaming the files "Z Old Music," because I love that music and find it less repetitive than the default game music (I'm from Spain and I've listened to it a million times).
I was wondering if I could add more music files, beyond the "Music 1025 to 1033" file range, and if these need to meet any duration requirements besides being WAV files.
Thank you very much

If they are correct format, they can be played. I don't know about adding more music files. So you could play "Tears of a Clown" if you so desired.

Ok. Yes. Very funny answer. Thanks (I guess).

Well, I think that would be a good song when the battle results are better for the other side!

Speaking of music... where are the Nationalist songs on the soundtrack? Not even La Marcha Real?

As far as I am aware, they are not subject to law restrictions like songs from the German Third Reich, so it feels kind of weird to have songs and anthems only from the Republican side when playing as the Nationalists. Some or of all of these songs below would be fine :

- Cara al Sol
- Oriamendi
- Cancion del Legionario
- Camisa Azul
- Ya Hemos Pasao
- Falangista Soy
- Cálzame las Alpargatas
- Arriba España

I wanted to add a few nationalist songs, but most of them are copyrighted.
On your list, only *Oriamendi* is an anthem without a copyright holder.

Even La Marcha Real? Isn't it free of copyright, since it is an official national anthem?

Sad, though, I would have loved to get exposed to more songs from the other side.

Of course, La Marcha Real is free. Sorry.
But it has been the anthem of Spain since the 18th century, except during the Republic times. It is not really a nationalist anthem...and the spaniards do not want it to be identified as such.

I think I'll add the Oriamendi. You're right, it should be in the game.

Excellent.

My knowledge of Nationalist songs during the Civil War is pretty limited to the main ones I listed; are there other lesser known songs or hymns free of copyright that could be integrated to the next version? Like pro-Conservative, Alphonsist, or military marches?

Would Falangist songs also be free of copyright, or are they owned legally by the current party Movimiento Falangista de España?

There's an Italian CTV song called "Arriba España". Is it copy-right free?

As the SCW was also an international affair, having german, italian, soviet or anti-fascist songs from the era, and related to Spain if possible, would be great.

Falangist songs are copyrighted.
I will try to find and add some spanish military march from the 19th or 20th century.

It would be interesting if, like some games, you get Republican songs if you play their side, and Nationalist song if you play them. But that would require two full playlists.

Just swap the files . . .

The carlist anthem (Oriamendi) and one carlist song (Calzame las alpargatas) will be added in an upcoming patch.
There will be more; these two won't be the only ones.

Improvised temporary playlist of Nationalist songs:

• Sergei Prokofiev: Romeo and Juliet, Op. 64 / Act 1: 13. Dance Of The Knights
• Gustav Holst: The Planets, Op. 32: I. Mars, the Bringer of War
• Carl Orff: Carmina Burana: O Fortuna
• Edvard Grieg: Peer Gynt, Op. 23: In the Hall of the Mountain King
• Antonio Vivaldi: The Four Seasons, Summer, Violin Concerto in G Minor, Op. 8/2, RV 315: III. Presto
• Giuseppe Verdi: Requiem: II. Dies irae
• Modest Mussorgsky: Night on Bald Mountain
• Ludwig van Beethoven: Symphony No. 7 in A Major, Op. 92: II. Allegretto
• Richard Wagner: Die Walküre, WWV 86B: Ride of the Valkyries

There are Germans and Italians on the list, so it fits. (Ignore the Russians!)

And of course,

• The Imperial March (Darth Vader's Theme)
