How to extract the games' Music Thread - Ultimate Apocalypse Mod (DOW SS) for Dawn of War

I love the music for the mod and the base game: and I was wondering how I can extract it.

Mod music is located in Soulstorm > UltimateApocalypse_THB > data > sound > music
Main game music is located in Soulstorm > W40k > W40kData-Sound-Full.sga

You'll need several tools to be able to listen to the music. You can use Relic Audio Converter for the mod's music (download it here), which converts the music from a .FDA format to a MP3 format. For the main game's music, you'll need to download SGA Unpacker (download it here), to convert the .SGA file into .FDAs.

anybody have a list of the songs names?

They don't really have names, per se, they're just named generically for what they are (like "ambient_city" or "music_ork_theme"). If you want to find a specific piece of music you'll need to listen to all of it, or maybe you can get lucky on YouTube.

I myself am particularly curious about the soft piano melody... beautiful and fitting despite being much more low-key than the rest of the soundtrack.

I love that music

Do you mean this piano melody?

Pretty and haunting, but it doesn't sound familiar. Definitely not the one I'm thinking of.

Hmm... not sure then, that's the only one I can think of off the top of my head. That piece was one of the loading songs added by UA, and I think most of those have a similiar tone. If you want to find it, your best bet is probably going through the loading music with the audio converter (located in sound > loadingmusic instead of sound > music).

It's not loading music, it's actual in-map music.

@Sunfire315 As I said, they don't really have names. I was only able to link to that song on YouTube because I'd heard it before and looked for it.

@CorvaVespera I'm not really sure there's much more I can do, then, you'll just have to look for yourself. There are a couple of low-key songs, but I don't remember any of them having a piano melody. I can think of the chant song (Inquisition's theme), urban wasteland, and some of the "uamod_music" songs (1, 9, and 15 come to mind, though I might have the numbers wrong). If you try to find that song, good luck!

Well, I'm assuming it was a piano. Maybe it was a harpsichord? I'll check the ones you mentioned, though.
