playing the soundtracks without starting the game?

[grobblewobble]

Hiya,

Is it possible to listen to the soundtracks from Tales of Maj'eyal somehow without starting up the game?

Thanks.

you would probably just need to fight the right folder, i would guess somewhere within the .team files.

edit, yeah, it is the the tome-x.x.x-music.team, although it opens in firefox, not sure if you can listen to it without it.

The .teams are basically just renamed .zip files -- you can open them with anything that can open .zips: Winzip, winrar, 7zip, etc. It's roughly the work of a few seconds to extract the music files to wherever you particularly care to put them, at least once you figure out where they're at (./game/modules/tome/data/music, it looks like... I don't actually have the music version on this computer to check, though). They're .oggs, which will play in at least winamp, and probably a lot of other things beside.

If for some reason that's giving you trouble, it also looks like you can get them off the git pretty easily, though that's going to take significantly more time, effort, and bandwidth than pulling them out of the .team if you've already got T4 on your computer.

at first, i wanted to make a correction... but actually, if you don't already know how to do it, that can be quite a fight.

and if you are using windows i can give you help unlocking the damn extensions.

Thanks. Found the folders and managed to play the files, they will open with Firefox.
