RE: [Arianne-general] Next plans

Man, if the 3dclient was as advanced as the music, Arianne would go
commercial tomorrow... :P
Very nice piece, I understand I cannot put it into Arianne CVS, right?
:P

Wow, it's been a while since I composed anything for Arianne.
I'm going to get back to that very soon.
I've discovered, though, that it's quite hard to compose game music
without a visual model to work from. So, I'll be enlisting the aid of
RPG Maker 2000 to fill that gap.
Also, my Impulse Tracker capability has increased tenfold. Listen to
this:

The music isn't mine, but I did the tracking.
I've been experimenting with the MO3 format... basically it takes the
samples in an IT and OGG compresses them. I can reduce the file to about
1/4 its size in this way... The only problem is, MO3 requires the BASS
engine, which has a pricy commercial liscence, so I doubt it will be
pheasable for our project.
At any rate, all the music should be stored in a single compressed file.
It doesn't bring the size down as much as MO3, but it helps. RAR seems
like a good enough format to me, but there's probably a better way.
