Lute Sound

STH · Post by **STH** » Sun Feb 08, 2004 3:29 am

Hello,

one idea is to have a lute you can play, i. e. drop the lute to the player character and the melody playes.

Here is a lute sound (middle-ages melody) in wav-format and here is the script for it...

---schnipp---
begin STH_script_playLute

short button
short messageOn
short reset
short OnPCEquip

if ( MenuMode == 1 )
Return
endif

if ( OnPCEquip== 0 )
set reset to 0
endif

if ( reset == 1 )
return
endif

if ( OnPCEquip== 1 )
if ( reset == 0 )
Set OnPCEquip to 0
messageBox "Play the Lute" "Yes" "No"
set messageOn to 1
endif
endif

if ( messageOn == 1 )

set button to GetButtonPressed

if ( button >= 0 )
set messageOn to 0
endif

if ( button == 0 )
playsound "lutesound"
set reset to 1

elseif ( button == 1 )
set reset to 1
return
endif

endif

end STH_script_playLute
--schnapp---

I think lute noises should fill up most taverns and inns around tamriel, I miss these noises from daggerfall, also, can someone please please recreate the song from daggerfall where you were in the city (usually played when it was at night) sounds alot like Morning Bell by Radiohead

Those two were my favorite sound/songs from daggerfall and they werent included in Morrowind

I think someone has already converted all music from Daggerfall to MP3

oh my god are you serious!

Im gonna downloadthat and listen to it all the time,
thanks for the info

BTW, would it be illegal for us to use that song in our Mod? we arent selling it, and technically its bethsoft material, which they released?

as a background music for taverns, thats a nice idea...

let me think... there should be an activator on the door, if you enter the tavern the sound plays...

here is an idea... a dwemer jukebox or a band and you can ask for different sounds?

in my opinion it is illegal, a solution could be that the player of TR has a license of daggerfall and he copies the sound into the morrowind folder manually

anonther way is to ask beth soft if they give the daggerfall sounds to the TR project (as a donation to the community), sometimes software companies do that if the game is some years old...

i remember that some games for the commodore c64 are now freeware...

But it isnt their exact work, its more a cover of it, done by someone not with bethsoft that has the same melody, but not the same work.... grey area, add in the fact that this is not for financial gain and that it was an old bethsoft game as well, and I dont think its illegal

btw I have been listening to nite3 non stop best song ever! and I think Peter Jackson used this song in LOTR slightly, a sorta similar sound,ascending descending harmonic minor scales

Whoever holds the license/coyright/patent owns the work, not who thought it up. So it' Bethsoft's song. I guess the proper procedure would be to have one of our admins ask Bethsoft for permission to use the music.
