A real shame about the music change. It sucks when an artist can't create their vision the way they want to due to limitations like this. But after a quick play-through to check out the notable changes (the background music changes arguably went unnoticed), Caribdis did a pretty good job at finding suitable replacements for most of them. I'd even argue that there is one or two that are even better than the original. But unfortunately there are the same number where the original is just too good to find a replacement for, making the new one pale in comparison.

I unfortunately couldn't find the name for any of the new songs. I might have to type in the lyrics on some of the liscensed music sites to find them. Or if someone already has, listing them would be a big help.

For anyone who is curious I have pulled apart the Eternum files and created a spreadsheet of all the changed tracks (I'm fairly sure I found all of them as I used software to compare old files and new files and also cross referenced both versions of the game). I consolidated all my finding in a spreadsheet which has the original track name from the 0.8 version of the game, the tech name that the game files use for any of you techies who might want them and also a short description of where in the game the track can be found (SPOILERS BEWARE).

I saved the spreadsheet to a Google Sheet here is the link


ALSO AS CARIBDIS THEMSELVES HAS ALREADY STATED:
Please refrain from reaching out to any artists, commenting on YouTube videos, or creating Spotify

The replacements are AI stuff made by volunteers from the higher tier subs. They had to churn those out quick because the license holders who issued the CnD gave Cari 7 days to comply before they escalate and make things a LOT uglier than they already are.

Considering their time frame, they did extremely well. Explains why I can't find the name of the songs.

Any clue on if they're gonna be replaced again in the future or just kept as AI songs indefinitely? I had a suspicion they were AI when I couldn't find a single one online :whistle:

From what I'm reading on Discord some are probably going to be replaced but as for the rest that depends on the boss man himself.

For some strange reason I felt that sooner or later this would happen...:cautious: usually this happens to many of some Avn's because of the license...

although I'm sure many have already managed to save these tracks thanks to Eternum and even became partially famous!
Wonder if someone's gonna make a mod adding them back...

besides the great songs from the best lewd scenes, the one I'm really sad to lose was the track for Nova's RPG scene... it was all intentionally timed so well with the renders. all that work goes down the drain.

There probably is at least one other dual song that got changed into a single song, since there were 4 removed tracks (pilgrim1, pilgrim2, riofluye, riofluyeb), I don't really have an idea on how to change those, unless I also revert back the origina script to play both songs, which seems possible since caribdis splits his scripts per episode anyways. The only minor concern with that is that if he ever updates the script to fix something. I mainly just wanted to throw out the first edition rather quick so that it was still available.

That would also bring the count back up to what it should be
36 in /music, 11 in music/08, +2 for pilgrim1/2, +2 for riofluye(b), 51 total

however, one thing I'm scared of if I have to start involving the actual scripts, is that it might screw over compatibility with any other mods.
That would definitely be possible if our good old multimod creator LightmanP would want to incorporate the music restoration mod into their mod. Then there wouldn't be compatibility issues since they already alter the scripts, so having pilgrim1, pilgrim2, riofluye and riofluyeb play in their original locations would be easy enough.

I will however update the mod and add those 4 files in their original locations, to make it easier incase LightmanP does want to incorporate it into their mod, which I am completely OK with
yeah, the two songs for MC's visit to Luna's uncle during the day of the dead. they are replaced by "lunadodd" and "lunadoddins".
for the two "pilgrim", you could just add them back to back in a single file and rename it as the new file. in the code, Caribdis just queues them anyway, so it would be the same.

that guy in the quote above already did ;)

LightmanP uses custom script.rpy files for the multimod already, i asked him whether he could implement the music restoration in his mod since then we can just use the old script5.rpy and script7.rpy.
Good info though, I hadn't had the time really to fully check everything, but if the other split song is still split in two, then just renaming and combining the old songs to new names should work. If i remember to check this tomorrow I will at least update the standalone version of the mod, since if lightmanp decides to integrate the music restoration, using the old scripts would still be the easiest solution.
