buffcode Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I am really loving Skyrim at the moment but the music in the inns gets a little repetitive.Does anyone know a way to change the bards music ( I want to swap them for my own pieces).This is for a personal mod, but if it actually happens and is any good then I would like to share it with the lovely people of the Skyrim community! Any information, links, abuse would be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunnie Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 (edited) Are you talking about the ambient background tavern music or the actual performance music? If you are referring to the background tavern music, then yes however you need to convert your replacements to the proper xwm format. If you are referring to the bards performance, then currently it is not possible since each song consists of 5-9 pieces and is completely scripted and animated. Edit: Additionally, you won't be able to release such a mod unless the music you use is public domain and has no copyrights attached to it. I highly doubt that will be the case so you should just consider this a personal mod only. Edited November 30, 2011 by Sunnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to use my own music that a friend and I wrote for the guitar. I realise that the current content is like you say, tied to a specific animation script. At this stage all I want to do is change the audio, I dont really care if the animation is out of sync! Maybe down the line I would like to script the animation to sync.I know a somebody took a morrowind song out, so if you can take stuff out then surely you can put stuff in!Thanks for replying btw!

CampanaAliquanta Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 (edited) If you want to find out more about the audio file formats there are some links here to various threads on the subject: http://www.thenexusforums.com/index.php?/topic/471428-modding-faq-how-to/ P.S. I would love to see more bard song options, so good luck. Edited November 30, 2011 by CampanaAliquanta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffcode Posted November 30, 2011 Author Share Posted November 30, 2011 Thats the plan! releasing song packs like the radio stations from Fallout 3, just to add a little flavour to the game. I will check the links you gave me, many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
