How the hell did you find that nice song in 4384016 archives?
And it looks like that site has a nice selection of samples too.

While we are at it, can someone recommend a tracker for Windows? The last time I used one was with my Amiga. As you may imagine this is quite a while ago, and I haven't followed the tracker development since then

Yes. Yes I can.

Renoise.

FMOD doesnt support .RNS, but thats what mp3/ogg support is for anyway.

Thank you vecna! I cant track, but went to look, hopped from site to site and found a version of Cool 1.34 that runs on XP pro! Massively rocking wave editor that does about a ton of things, but alas is 'crippled' by letting you only do a third of a ton at a time (until you save, close, re-open) unless you register. Heh.

OMG Vecna, no! Track with ModPlug, then run your mods through Renoise for effects! Thats how I did these songs. Anyone else need help with tracking things? I'd love to help out.

isn't it the shit

Readers:
I have ascertained that some of us are aware of www.chiptune.com. I advise looking at and listening to the small songs available at this site as a balence to some of the large songs loadable at The Mod Archive.

Well, I actually agree with you somewhat.

I hated FT2. I hated Sk@le, which was also an FT2-alike interface.

There haven't BEEN any trackers with an IT-like interface, which, back when I did tracking, I used ST3 and IT exclusively.

Neither of those trackers are usable on modern machines, however. I haven't really found modplug to be an acceptable replacement.

So, renoise at least has significant improvements over previous trackers. The next version of renoise will be, primarily, an interface overhaul (simplification), because, as they say, they literally could not add a single additional button, there simply isn't room.

Its true that nothing supports .RNS, but a well done .rns module can actually consume way more cpu time to do properly than you'd really want to do in a game anyway, so the rendering it to mp3 really is a good option.

Anyway, yeah, its not necessarily the best option for games. But, for people like us that prefer ST3/IT type interface, there ISNT a very good option. god dammit.

This song sounds suspiciously like Braveheart's main theme; the motif is that of Bravehearts :)

Does anyone remember the Saga of the Stars (by a certain Grue-ish bitch) intro song? I remember it distinctly; a piano doing its regular four note chording while the strings enter a little later. There were several songs REALLY like it (four note piano chords, and then strings) for other Verge games.

Hm. Just reminiscing. Miss playing dos-Verge games. ;_;

.. o_O;

The one where .. let me recall the introduction. There were twinkly stars right? And then there's this piano going in first, and then the strings pulling long notes. :o Or maybe its not a piano; just a really bad piano sample. No? Yes? o_o.

You don't remember?

And I wonder why SotS never gets done.

:o. It's a bloody harp.

Ok fuckit, my mistake on that, but who told you to take so long on SotS, huh?! HUH?! ;p But yeah.. Something like this. This was at a time I was reading A Wrinkle in Time for my school so all this space thingy really fascinated me, and this music has a distinct... nicey... .... thingy!

:\ Yeah, just thought it worked well with the stars. That's really a part of my early teenage memories that you just posted. :o
