VN Ren'Py Eternum [v0.8.6 Public] [Caribdis]

[FanOfEcchiSensei]

Great work! I tested it and it works. I loaded up a bunch of old scenes with 0.8.6 and your mod and the music was restored, EXCEPT for hyrilarcliff.ogg. For some reason it's still playing the new song.

will go and check

Edit Ah, I have found the reason. The script was changed and the filename is now "hyrilarclifflong", so I will just quickly rename the original and reupload the patch in the original post I made about it.
also, that file is the only one that seems to be mp3. Just replacing it with a new .ogg file still plays the original mp3, so I'm testing whether the original song as mp3 will play over the new .mp3 if I convert it

Edit2. Converting the original song from .ogg to .mp3 and renaming it to the new name seems to have worked. Mod link has been updated to version where the original hyrilarcliff plays

Just use Kevin MacLeod songs, if that songs don't satisfying you... Well, patience.

Important Update: Changes to the Game’s Music



Hey everyone,

I wanted to take a moment to share an important update regarding Eternum’s soundtrack. Due to a licensing and guidelines issue with a music platform, we’ve had to remove all of its content from the game. Unfortunately, this means that a few of the tracks you’ve come to love will no longer be present.

However, thanks to the incredible effort of several community members, we’ve replaced those songs with other free alternatives and AI-generated pieces to try to maintain the game’s atmosphere. This wasn’t a choice we made willingly, but a necessary action to ensure the project can continue without complications.

Keep in mind that the new version 0.8.6 doesn't include any new content—the only change is the updated sound.

Resolving this issue temporarily paused development, but we’re now back on track and moving forward with 0.9 as planned.

I truly appreciate your understanding and support through this. I’m sorry for the inconvenience, but I hope you’ll continue to enjoy Eternum as we keep improving it.



Sincerely,

Caribdis

I wasn't prepared for this...

I wouldn't be surprised if the same thing happened to Badik, Eternum and they always had and still have top soundtracks...
and thanks to that they sometimes even become trending on YouTube and Spotify

Doesn't DPC buy licenses?

Eternum Music Restoration Mod

TL;DR of what's below: Download mod > grab game folder > put in eternum folder. Unless you've unpacked the RPA you won't have to overwrite anything

Ok it seems that the game prioritizes /game/audio/music over the .rpa version, so all that needs to be done is unpack the zip, grab the game folder and drag it into your Eternum folder. That should restore the music back to the original songs. I've tested it on a few songs in a freshly unpacked 0.8.6 version (windows, specifically) and it played the original music.

Unless Caribdis has to remove more songs again in the future, this should be futureproof and safe to use in all versions from 0.8.6 and above to restore the music that was used in 0.8.5 and before

Pin this guy in the front page ! Or it's what i would said if it was actually a thing here. Defo need a link in the main post

This! You are doing God's work. From now on, the new update will only be uploaded together with the music mod. If they think they can take away people's fun, they are deeply mistaken. Copyright holders can fuck themselves.

Damn. Just came out of hibernation because of the music licensing debacle.
I guess that's what subscription models allow. They should freeze the licensing terms for the customer when they actually buy or sub instead. It's getting super complicated to keep up if the devs have several sources of music, several sources of assets, sound effects, etc.

actually... if i am correct. having duplicate files in the gamefolder that matches what is inside .rpa files, will cause conflicts. you can have either or, but not both at the same time. but i could be wrong. (i had that problem when creating a Mod for a game a while back)

you are not correct.

just came here to see if someone made it yet. you were really fast

Royalty Free Music TOS prevents the usage of any track for anything pornographic (which unfortunately AVNs fall under). The only reason Cari got away with it for this long was because the game was flying under the radar compared to the AVNs in Steam. However, considering that the game continues to become increasingly popular and with more fans alerting Royalty Free Music artists about the game through mentions in the YT comments, it was only a matter of time until the CnD letter showed up.

Wonder if he will bring the game to Steam now, seems like a no-brainer and considering he wants everyone to be able to enjoy the game, $100 fee is really minor.

you might have missed some as there are 51 files that were changed.
and luna's scene in 0.7 has two files "pilgrim1" and "pilgrim2" that were changed into a single track "lunasex1".

If it was Daz3d or blender then of course it could appear on Steam, but HS no.

and luna's scene in 0.7 has two files "pilgrim1" and "pilgrim2" that were changed into a single track "lunasex1".

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

guys an help please, meanwhile we are waiting for release of 0.9, i was searching something similar with Caribdis VN but i don't find anything of interesting. Have you any tips about VN with humour, mistery, teenagers??? Thanks so much

 

[e6mill]

VN with humour, mistery, teenagers???

Ripples.

 

[Kraxen]

Just compared the new songs to the old ones, and while they're decent, they don't hold a candle to the old ones. Sadly, most first-time players won't end up using the restoration mod and thus will never experience some of those amazing songs, all thanks to greedy copyright holders

fuck those fuckers they should be grateful for having their music feature in this game and get more recognition. There is plenty of music I would not know about if it was not for this game.

Money is what powers the world either you have it & get what you want or if you don't have it you don't get shit.

In this case it's usually the copyright holders who sent the CnD, not the artists themselves who prolly don't even own the music anymore (and most prolly even don't even care that people like Cari use them for their work so long as they pay for the license and shit).
