My Discworld Enhanced Soundtrack Version 2.0 Released for ScummVM

discworldtitleRecently, the team at ScummVM announced support for the original Discworld point and click adventure including its sequel. Today I am very happy to release version 2.0 of my enhanced soundtrack for you to use with the game, which will give everyone superior sounding music and not just those with powerful MIDI equipment.

A big thank you for the countless emails I have had about this particular release and of course to Terry Pratchett for allowing my enhancements to be released for your enjoyment.

To install, extract the music from the zip file and copy it to your Discworld folder on your hard drive. Make sure you have the latest SVN version of ScummVM from their website or version 1.0 or later (when it is released). For best quality (although not mandatory), start the ScummVM program and select Discworld. Now select [Edit Game], switch to Audio tab and set Sample Rate to 44kHz.

If you enjoy my enhancements, please consider donating.

    Is Beneath a Steel Sky soundtrack still in works?

  13. Trexmaster12 says:

    I've put the Discworld on the hard drive (C:), unrar-ed the tracks, putted them in the "Discworld" file (the data of the game). Now I think I need to EDIT the game via scummvm. What I must do now?

      You can if you wish alter the audio rate to increase the quality of the music from the default, however this is not essential. Instructions are in the article above.

      Then you should be able to run the game with my enhanced music featured.

  14. Trexmaster12 says:

    I've done that and… nothing. Do I need to put everything in default mode in the audio tab?

  15. Trexmaster12 says:

    No wait… I've removed the game again (it was from another directory) and I've re-added it again. AND IT WORKS NOW!! OMG! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
