Music

[Jawa'sRevenge]

I consider star wars supported by three pillars (people) they being Lucas, Ralph McQuary, and John Williams without them Star Wars is not Star Wars.

The Music of Star Wars is great but doubt we could use it (could we?)

 

[Dumanios]

In the area of music,we could use the Imperial March as the Imperial Diplomacy Music and The Opening theme for the Main Menu.

If that music could be used, I'd have a lot of ideas for various diplomacy musics. If not, I'm pretty much stumped.

...?

Why couldn't we use it?

Granted I don't get how Civ Sounds and Audio works, but everything is a .wav file. If you could get the music in that form, and then have someone on the XML end put it together, it would work fine.

I is not that it would be hard adding the music (which I could do easily, I have ALL the songs ALL of them: Movies, TV shows, Video Games) but the issue is copywrite. I doubt Bantha Music would care, but you never know.

I was thinking the opening menu should be Imperial March, or Duel of the Fates.
A chunk of Emperors throne room would be good imperial diplomacy.

I'd also go for some bit of RotJ music with the Emperor motif for Palpatine at least. The Imperial March could be for other Empire/Remnant leaders, though I'd know some excellent music for those from TIE Fighter provided that midi music will do.

For opening menu I might consider something a little more calm, like ESB finale.

The Cantina Music would be sweet for something; idk what, maybe jsut backround (although that would be obnoixious)

I guess it could be Jabba the Hutts diplo music (it should be Jedi Rocks, but that songs stinks)

 

[Kissamies]

Jabba's theme would seem to be obvious choice for Hutt music, or if you want some in-universe stuff, there's also that "baroque" piece. Oh, and why I'm not against adding Black Sun even though it seems and odd choice for a civ is because there is a Xizor's theme. A pretty good one too if you just take the one and half minutes or so from the end.

What song would we use as Xizors theme, and is it copyrighted?

 

[Kissamies]

Probably as copyrighted as any Star Wars music, sadly. Shadows of the Empire was a big multimedia project and it included a soundtrack.

[civ editor11]

Unless we find some uncopyrighted music we'll have to use the generic music.

copyrighted music? most songs you can download off the internet and use freely,

 

[civ editor11]

We have to make sure the songs we download aren't copyrighted. Most free internet downloads aren't legal. if you have found one that's legal for us to download use and distribute we can use it.

 

[Kissamies]

I guess you could check if there's anything usable here:

Some of those are probably copyrighted too, though. Haven't looked at them so closely.

 

[civ editor11]

That might work we'll have to look into it

 

[T_KCommanderbly]

Ok well i use imesh, which is 100% legal and you can download star wars songs off that, would it be legal to take it off star wars games?

I have a star wars Cd somewhere, if i rip the songs from that its legal, beacause were not selling it right?

maybe not idk. im not totally sure where it is anyway

profit or non-profit doesn't matter on copyright laws
