Original Alternative Soundtrack mod

Post by hemosis »

Hi everyone,

I'm finally done writing my original alternative soundtrack. It took me a bit more time that I expected and I'm not entirely satisfied with the amount of tracks I've been able to compose but I hope you'll enjoy playing with it as much as I enjoyed writing this soundtrack. I might add some more tracks in the future.
I've put a link at the bottom of this post if you would like to listen to the music before downloading it.

if you have any feedback, please feel free to comment under this post.

Download Link:

I highly recommend either:
- Playing with the Music Track Transition Mod by Tyler Young attached within the .rar file
- Or playing with the: "Change Music Tracks: When Tracks Ends" which you can find in the sound settings in-game.

Installation Instructions:
1. Extract the .rar wherever you please.
2. Then find the data folder in your installation folder.
For steam users: C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Distant Worlds 2\data
3.a If you wish to merge the alternative soundtrack with the original one:
Simply drop the "music" folder in your data folder.
3.b If you wish to only play with the alternative soundtrack:
First delete the music folder in your data folder then drop the new one instead.


Installation instructions for the Music Track Transition Mod by Tyler Young:

1. Find your mod folder.
For steam users: C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Distant Worlds 2\mods
2. Drop the Music Track Transition mod folder in the mods folder.
3. In-game, on the main menu activate the mod via the modifications.


If you enjoyed my work and would like to show your appreciation, please consider visiting:

You did really a great job composing this music!
Thank you very much!

Now what I did is just to make a mod out of it that is very much smaller.
If someone wants to try out the mod, before downloading the huge download or just has not the space or the bandwidth, try this here please.

Because the files allowed to upload have to be smaller than 10mb AND are not allowed to be named as 7zip needs them, i renamed them. You have to rename all files and take away the .7zip from the end of all files.

In the next post is a pic how it should look like after you downloaded them.

Then you right click at the first and let 7zip unpack it.
move it in the mods folder and activate it as a normal mod.

May I upload your Work as a Mod into Steam?
Or better: Can you upload your mod into steam?
