*WORK IN PROGRESS - EXPECT MANY UPDATES*

I've made a Golden Sun Soundtrack Pack mod in the hope that someone else here has played this awesome game! And it has an excellent soundtrack.
http://thelostwaters.com/gallery/galleries/goldensun/Smaller_Golden_Sun_Wallpaper_by_KaiotoChente.jpg

If you haven't played GS, then I highly recommend you go grab an emulator and ROM and get stuck into it! (Its GBA). I can promise you that you will have lots of fun, become addicted and fall in love with this game. Great story, a massive adventure, excellent characters, unique magic/Djinn system, amazing soundtrack and awesome battle graphics.
There is GS 1 and GS2: The Lost Age, they will provide many quality hours of gameplay!

Anyway, I've made a collection of music from the game. You can preview them all here: http://www.thejasoneffect.net/golden-sun-soundtrack/

Lobby: Yepp's Song
Menu: Menu music for Lost Age (The Second Book)
In-Game:
Magma Rock
Gaia Rock
Tundaria Tower
The Golden Sun Rises
Sol Sanctum
The Elemental Stars
Venus Lighthouse
A Full Moon in Garoh
Desert Heat
Walking forward with determination
Saturos battle theme

If you've played the game, I hope this brings back memories! If not, give it a go and tell me what you think! You can customize the mod by getting rid of tracks you don't want, adding your own, etc.

Download:

HonMod: Link (http://rapidshare.com/files/380420956/GSsoundtrack.honmod)

Hon Mod Manager is required.

Don't forget to pause on the login screen (without auto-login) to hear the menu theme :)


Hopefully Upcoming:

Play/loop a specified sound track (e.g. lobby_main.mp3) while in the main lobby (while not joined a game)
Play/loop a specified sound track (e.g. lobby_game.mp3) while in the game lobby
Randomize the play order of game music while in-game. (at the moment it goes track_01, then track_02 etc.)
Play a specified sound track for battling with kongor (e.g. kongor_battle.mp3). This could be triggered by either Kongor attacking, or having an allied hero inside Kongor's fountain area. Then resume playing standard game music tracks afterwards.
Possibly the Golden Sun levelup sound for hero levelups! sound (http://www.thejasoneffect.net/music/GoldenSunSoundtrack/106%20Level%20Up!.mp3)
Golden sun victory sound when winning a game! sound (http://www.thejasoneffect.net/music/GoldenSunSoundtrack/55%20Victory!.mp3)
Item get sound when you buy an item! sound (http://www.thejasoneffect.net/music/GoldenSunSoundtrack/100%20Item%20Get!.mp3)


If you are experienced with modding/coding and know how to make triggers for music to play at certain times, and would like to help make this mod more awesome, please contact me! Much appreciated.
Also if someone could make a HonMod for this and teach me how to work it/update etc that would be awesome.

Yes! I'm not alone! haha. I'm looking to make it alot better, I'll enquire to find someone who knows how to make triggers for music to play. I want it to have:
Working music in standard lobby (not actual game lobby)
Working music in Game lobby
Randomising of music tracks in-game
Battle theme when battling Kongor!
Battle victory sound when you win!


I would totally download this if I could see some previews (if you don't mind)!
I provided a link to preview the tracks

I have over 250 hours logged between GS1/2. Go play them now if you haven't. This is an awesome sound pack. Thanks!

Thanks :)
It will be much better once I figure out how to make lobby sounds play, and let it play more than only the first 3 tracks!

This has the potential for awesomeness. Just downloaded. How do I open the file to rename the track?

Yes.

Go right click > properties on the s2z file. Make it open with winzip/winrar which ever archiver you use.
Then you can just double click it to open it.



Saturos Fighting Theme, needs to be in:
Added

I will upload an updated version with a temporary fix which will play all tracks!!

However they still won't be randomized. If anyone has any modding experience and knows how to randomize play order of in-game music tracks, please let me know!
Also once I figure out how to get the lobby tracks working properly it will be much better :)

HonMod version coming I will upload tonight!

And yep it has Saturos battle and Walking forward with determination in it.

To make it work with retail (any version):
Open .honmod with winrar etc.
With winrar you can edit the mod.xml file from within the archive. Open the .xml and change the "appversion="-0.3.*"" part near the top to "appversion="-1.*.*"" (no quotations).
Save the xml file and update the archive.
