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.
Totally agree. Although given the time frame they did amazing job. Hopefully they take some feedback and tweak some of the not so great replacements in future
Kinda easy to grab all the songs from the old files though. Although I understand that not everyone got a 16to HDD to keep all the old versions of their favorite VNs (or want to make the necessary changes themselves). I still have all Eternum versions back to v0.3 personnally (when I started playing it) and ain't no way I'm replaying Eternum without the songs we got used to
I do hope that someone better and less lazy than me do the work for the future versions still
Can't the files just be extracted, then renamed to the same file name as their replacements - so we can just drag and drop them into the audio folder with each new release? Seems easier to do that than store 0.8.5 for eternity.
EDIT: Never mind - I jumped the gun before reading on.

Also, storing old versions is more about the "what if I lose the audio files" kind of situation. With the old versions safely stored, you can just redo the work of extracting and stuff if you ever lose the audio files. It's also about being a control freak with several HDD of 16+ to of storage space because things on the internet can disappear / get changed and lost forever, so better keep everything you like in your own thing that's more difficult to take back from you
What a shitty situation, No one knows and Drown inside it being kill is terrible. Guess will have to use the old music files now each time a new update comes out.
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.
I have done this. It should now fully restore all 51 tracks, and it should be compatible with LightmanP's mod whether he changes his script to the new version or keeps the old versions, as I've added the 4 that were removed back, but also added them under their new names. Slightly bigger file size, but to create smooth compatibility I figured it would be worth it.
Damn, the biggest loss here was Blah Blah Blah, that song was awesome to discover.
It is a shame to lose these songs, but I hope for future updates someone special can mod the original songs back with each version.
I think the silver lining here however if Carib will be commissioning his own songs more frequently. Good Friends for Annie was perfect, and with the options limited now hopefully he will do more for each special scene. Would be pretty dope to see what he can create!
Dumb question - are there specific video files for the scenes that can be pulled out and edited within the folder structure. Poking through the thread, it seems like maybe not, but if so, let me know where I should be looking. Thanks!

If I got your question right,then yes.Eternum/game/archieve.rpa contains every single video as a short .webm.To extract them,you can use Unren.Once you're done,you will find them in game/images/video

I assume it's going to be something along the lines of:
1. The person in question finds their unconscious body (either as a phantom or "clone")
2. They just disconnect like usual (Orion would be seen as a portal)
3. (The most likely IMO) They would be forced to "disconnect" which would be similar to being "excommunicated" AKA it can harm/kill them

The other possibility is that it would be like a player logging off outside of a portal. I believe if a player does that they lose all there in game progress similar to character death. I would have to play the game from the beginning to be sure.
