I only used 3 soundfonts(percussion, and strings in one place) the rest was sampletank, sytrus, podfarm, and toxic biohazzard.

I'm considering dropping the project due to lack of interest here and on the 3DR forums.

You shouldn't have big expectations from 3D R forums anymore as there aren't many people visiting modifications anymore. Don't drop the project for the lack of interest, it can get the attention it deserved now, or in future

well, your an idiot, cause my music pack IS the original midis, properly mastered, and arranged in a way that sounds good.
so how about you stay out of my threads, k? you've made a few attempts flame me already, in which moderators deleted your posts.
if you dont like it, go elsewhere. dont keep pushing your bullshit here.

Yes, I'm the idiot, and I know the difference between "your" and "you're." You miss the point completely. The tracks included in the HRP pack ARE the original midis rendered on the midi device they were composed for. Whether it "sounds good" or not is entirely your opinion. You really need to grow up, you act like a child. I also don't remember "attempting" to flame, because I don't attempt, I do it. I don't even remember such a thing, but I can bet you deserved it. Your attitude is self-righteous and stupid. You're not some all powerful being who can stop me from coming in your threads. This website is a free place, and I can go into any thread I please. Stop acting like a little kid who just realised the toys he's playing with aren't as cool as the other kid's.

this, coming from the guy who replied to everything I said with "your [insert subject here] sucks ass"
seriously, your telling me to grow up?
fuck you.

[TerminX]

I'm going to have to tell you to grow up too, and I think Captain Awesome is generally a troublemaker so it's not like I enjoy siding with him. There's just no need to start arguments by calling people idiots for no apparent reason. Capt. Awesome posted that the music in the HRP now is exactly as the soundtrack was supposed to sound, which is correct as it was rendered on the same hardware the tracks were composed on. I'm not really sure why the thread turned to you calling him an idiot after that.

Maybe you could clearly explain the problem you're having with Captain Awesome, or if not, apologize to anyone who wasted time reading the last half page of this thread.

Otherwise, as always, have civilized discussions or kindly fuck off!

that's like saying that the original low-res textures and sprites are better because their are the originals...
this is about improvement, not about a pure vanilla authentic to original port.

P.S: it's like this, any piece of music can be remastered, recorded or whatever, in contemporary music it's called a "cover", in pop (usually the mass produced variety, which shouldn't be confused with music) it's called "an original, written by..." and in classical music it's called an "adaptation";
For whatever you might wish to call it, the fact remains that the only rule is to keep true to most of the notation and maybe the arrangements, and even then most go less strict...
It's not like replacing the lead guitar with violins and the adding heart warming solos accompanied by Britney Spears and collogues; In this case, the notation and arrangements are kept in a very strict fashion, and are only updating and improving on some of the primitive synths that were used at the time.

Take classical music for instance, studio recording don't sound anything like live performances, let alone if instruments of the quality of time period, where the music was written, would have been used.
ever heard a bach piece played on a harpsichord ? pretty poor in comparison, if you ask me; and it's true to most of the classics, or did you think chopin was supposed to be played on cinema organ ?! sorry to disappoint, but he wrote and played for the piano, so all those fancy adaptation and orchestral arrangement are pretty much unfitting to your strict rules

TL;DR. Of course the originals are better.

Ignoring the TLDR, you just admitted you're trolling since if you say that the originals graphics are better then the HRP you're either:
1. truly mean it and therefore shouldn't give a crap about some guy trying to improve yet another aspect of a game you consider better left untouched.
2. you're flat out lying, and thereby trolling.

and by the way, if a two paragraph, written in 10 minutes, comment on a forum is considered by your standard as too long, maybe you shouldn't... sorry, you probably gave up right about now...

Or option 3: You are an incredibly diluted individual.

what does "diluted individual" means ? I suppose I should be defensive since this is an obvious attempt at a clever insult, but you got me where it hurts, my curiosity and my vocabulary, indeed a geeky combo...

[Carl Winslow]

How is that even clever? 'Diluted' is a really simple concept! You should have taken the time to check a dictionary so you didn't sound stupid.

I'm guessing he meant "deluded individual", but the auto spell-check got it wrong.
I was actually trying to trap him into attempting to explain where my reasoning of his actions were faulty, but it seems he was smart enough not to bite, darn it

the worst thing is, that being a deluded individual means holding onto a belief that defies reasoning, which sadly means that, without him trying to explain where my analysis of his actions was incorrect, the definition may fit him.

[Jimmy]

No, I very well meant diluted, and its really a simple word. Google is your pal.
