new music for eq2 : EverQuest 2 General Discussions

ok i got this from the official eq2 forums.. but they removed it due to issues.. w/e all it is is music files (free to use from lineage 2's web site) but they are replacements for the eq2 soundtrack.. pretty darn good imo too

i accidentally deleted the help file.. but here is the problem.. eq2 scans all music files before starting... so you have to find a way to bypass the scanning.. (i figure you guys could come up with something)

currently i just have 2 folders.. musc (official eq2 music) and music1 (this pack) i just switch them after it scans... plz try and find an easier way

(just un-rar and pu in your eq2 directoy next to the other music folder... then re-name after eq2 scans)
its rared (best compression) at 146 MB... cant find anywhere to host it... if you want the file or have somewhere i can host it pm me

Nothing needs to be made for this as there was a bat file already posted in that forum thread with the download:

@echo off
::swapmusic.bat - a file to swap the music over before EQ2 patches, then swap it back
::before launch, by Lightning
::rename the EQ2 Music directory to OldMusic, and the new music directory to Music before
::running this script
:BEGIN
if EXIST OldMusic goto SWAPMUSIC
goto SWAPBACKMUSIC
:SWAPMUSIC
rename Music NewMusic
rename OldMusic Music
goto WAIT
:SWAPBACKMUSIC
rename Music OldMusic
rename NewMusic Music
:WAIT
start EQ2.exe
pause
if EXIST NewMusic goto SWAPMUSIC2
goto SWAPBACKMUSIC2
:SWAPMUSIC2
rename Music OldMusic
rename NewMusic Music
goto END
:SWAPBACKMUSIC2
rename Music NewMusic
rename OldMusic Music
:END

its prolly just me but i dont see the attach button.. and are you sure its gonna let me upload 146 MB?

hmm... some forums may not have the correct permissions. I'll check with the admin.
