Renaissance Soundtrack Overhaul - Update 6 addon

UPDATE 6

A tiny update to fix a typo in one of the tracks name having an empty space in it causing a crash.

To fix it without re-downloading the archive, if you have installed the extra timeslots version, go to "sounds\music\level\Renaissance\Evening" and remove the empty space between the "n" and the "." at the end of Ashot Danielyan - Tension.ogg

Thanks Matumba_4 for the report.

I did not make any of the music that you can find in this mod. The music tracks names, owners names and link to where you can find their music are all indexed in text files, which you can find in the mod archive or at the bottom of this page.

Every single music track was downloaded from their respective website, I did not illegaly pirate any of the music tracks included in this mod, the majority of the tracks can be downloaded for free.

I do have altered some of the music tracks to make them shorter or longer and add fade-ins fade outs but I do not claim any of the original or modified music tracks to be mine.

All the music tracks are covered by either Creative Commons licenses (0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0) or have their rights reserved by their respective owners ©, in the eventuality that you, the mod user, wanted to use any of the music tracks included in this mod, for your own projects, please acknowledge the different licenses and give the artists the credits they deserve.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read this ❤️

Renaissance is a soundtrack overhaul with a bit of a different approach to how the music tracks are played, from the early morning to the dead of night.

Originaly Anomaly only has 3 separate time slot (Day, night, underground) with its own music being played depending on the current time. I added 2 more (Morning and evening), my goal with this is to add flexibility to how I can control the mood, the ambiance, that I wanted to convey to the player at a specific given time.

Let me give you the different time slots first :

ㅤ

- Morning : between 6am to 7am or 06:00 to 07:00

- Day : between 9am to 4pm or 09:00 to 16:00

- Evening : between 6pm to 7pm or 18:00 to 19:00

- Night : between 9pm to 4am or 21:00 to 04:00

ㅤ

(NEW in Update 4) Day and night only version of the mod :

ㅤ

- Day : between 9am to 6pm or 09:00 to 18:00

- Night : between 9pm to 6am or 21:00 to 06:00

Morning music tracks have more of a relief feel to them, another day in the zone, you spent the night outside hunting mutants, you almost died countless times but here you are, the sun is shining and you can see god rays illuminating your path, i want the player to feel good, I want the player to stop for a second and enjoy the moment, the zone is a harsh place but it can also be beautiful during peaceful times.

Day music tracks are the core of the mod, they are here to accompany you during your adventures, its a mix of semi-dark / Drone / heavy ambient tracks, they'll help you get immersed in the zone, giving you a false sense of security sometimes but also reminding you that the zone can backstab you at any moment.

Evening music tracks are here to remind the player that the sun won't shine bright on the zone forever, twilight is coming, you survived the day fighting boars and zombies but are you ready for all the horror coming out at night. You still have time to top up your mags and stock up on medecine, prepare yourself.

Night music tracks are my favorites, they are here to haunt you, to make you feel that a bloodsucker can jump on you at any moment, if you are part of the night shift crew that prefer to do your missions at night for maximum concealment, then forget caffein pills, those tracks alone will help you stay awake.

Lets not forget about the new music tracks for the different underground maps, they are dark, eerie, Satan himself listen to those when he goes to sleep at night, are you sure you took the stairs to lab X-18 ? Or did you take the stairs leading you directly to hell.

You might have noticed that multiples times during your day music won't play and the reason for that is to accentuate on the different moods I want to convey to the players, those moments of silence will help
clear the players mind of the previous music tracks so they can welcome the next ones with ease.

Time slots without music :

Morning, day, evening, night version of the mod :

- 4am to 6am or 4:00 to 6:00
- 7am to 9am or 7:00 to 9:00
- 4pm to 6pm or 16:00 to 18:00
- 7pm to 9pm or 19:00 to 21:00

(NEW in Update 4) Day and night only version of the mod :

Are you an artist, do you like to make music focused on heavy ambiance ? If you think one of your tracks would fit well within this mod then send me a message, fortune and glory awaits you!

(Well not really.. But I can offer a firm handshake)

Now after having read all this, you might say to yourself, "Holy shit this is the best mod ever!" Lets be real here.. Of course it is! I'm kidding, in all seriousness, nothing is perfect some people will like it, some won't, and you know what ? Thats ok, no one is judging.

I really want to add more tracks to it but in all honesty it is really and I mean REALLY hard to find ambient music of this type for free on the internet so, I don't want to make false promises but I'll do my best to update it as much as I can.
