♫♫ iClassic Soundtrack ♫♫
 

Can anyone tell me why we have two way different soundtracks, for the same game?

I just found out that there was 2 soundtracks for iClassic. Which soundtrack would you guys want for iClassic? The current one or the Skyrider version? I'm really liking the Skyrider one atm. I don't know how many new songs are on Skyrider but I made a video incomparison for 2 of the songs. I'm hoping they'll switch the iDevice soundtrack to the new songs :)

I really like the skyrider one, but I haven't heard all the tracks, and I'm sure eventually it'd be just like the current one. I'll watch your video now.

MP3 files are very large, and thus Stefan probably just doesn't want to upload new songs for iPhone players to have to download.

I gotta say... That was a great soundtrack. It was so calm and not too abrupt. The Skyrider soundtrack compared to the classic is remarkable. It makes the classic soundtrack sound even worse. I would love to have this implemented in the game.

Oh 0:! No wonder the iDevice songs were in .wav format. I guess we're all stuck with the original soundtrack.

You'd be surprised by the MP3 compressors available and how little quality is lost :smile:

I'm really keen to make one and have been for some time for iClassic. However, from my experience, the staff are pretty unresponsive...

Wow, The skyrider soundtrack is beautiful :love:.

Stefan doesn't even like updating the tileset, even though it's only like 200kb. MP3 files tend to be a couple mb's, regardless of compression.

Wow. I really wish all the soundtracks were as good as the Skyrider version. I've kept my volume off for iClassic for over 2 years because I hate it that much. Yes, on certain occasions I would listen to see if anything changed. The Skyrider version is much better in my opinion.

I don't think I've ever played Graal with audio turned on. If so, it's been about 9 years.

I've never played classic with music

I actually kinda like the music at the spar arena as it is...

I like Rain and Cave soundtrack. The annoying abuse of frequent violin notes with the occasional clarinet melody needs to be fixed. They should also have seasonal soundtracks. Like one for fall, winter, spring and summer. Not all of them but just for the main ones at least.

On the topic of music, why did they never resell the radio? It was originally in Northern Graal but when they were preparing MoD town they closed the furniture shop and moved everything else but the radio to other stores. MoD town is open, but still no radio.

Well that's a shame.
But yeah, I can get my files from <1mb down to about >300kb without any obvious change in sound quality.

I don't see how another few MBs dedicated to a good sounding expanded soundtrack would hurt anybody. After a quick check on Usage in my iPhone's settings and Graal's files using iFile, I discovered that in total iClassic takes up about 162 MB of data, which is nothing compared to what it used to take up before I reinstalled it, which was 756 MB. Out of those 162 MB, only 12 MB were taken up by the 14 tracks used in iClassic. While that may seem like a lot, consider this: The tileset, soundtrack, and other data that comes with the app when it is first downloaded takes up approximately 19 MB according to the App Store description. This amount of data is constant, since it is made up of things that do not change and are necessary for the game to function properly. Considering the fact that an average uncompressed MP3 file takes up about 4-6 MB and the low memory use of iClassic's 2D not-very-complex graphics, it is normal that the soundtrack takes up most of the memory when downloaded.

At least at first, it takes up the most memory.

At this point, you may be wondering what the other 143 MB are. The amount of extra MB may differ for you, so you should check how much memory iClassic takes up for you in Usage. This extra memory is taken up by the absurd number of graphics and extra, somewhat unnecessary data downloaded onto your device. The majority, however, is graphics. Graphics uploaded by players, extra hats, things that do not come with the initial download of the game. It looks like it would take up a tiny amount of memory, but small things add up, leading to iClassic taking up far more memory than it is said to take up. With graphics constantly being uploaded and taking up more and more memory, it is safe to say that regardless of whether the tileset or soundtrack is updated, the game's memory usage will continue to rise. Therefore, a few MB dedicated to a soundtrack expansion or a tileset update to improve the gaming experience is trivial in comparison to the massive number of graphic that are uploaded, the grand majority of which do not improve upon the game itself at all.

You're trying to argue with Stefan's logic, and that's your problem.

Well, exactly what is his logic then?

Logic? Lawl.

I'm sorry, I forgot that Stefan is a bit logic-impaired.

This is reason alone to play graal again.

I have to spread rep ._.

I love the Skyrider one O.o... Any chance you could get me the MP3s?

Nice Lia Skyrider is much better :P

meh i dont use music, only sounds. but when i turn on my own music, graal sounds drowns my music, so i thrn sounds off... there should be equalizers to lower graal sound level so i dont have swords scraping in my ear.

btw, when you watch the video LiA posted,

under the "Suggested" tab ~> watch LiA's "Graal pedos... and gangnam style" LOL

iDevice song forever :D

I love it! Lia it's very nice sound track!

woe

The original .wav files in the soundtrack on this server are so nostalgic to me.. Please don't let them take that away. But all in all, nice Lia! :D

Agree with that.

Why not upload them to youtube? O.o

I agree. There needs to be an option where we can set how high/low we want the sounds to be. The PM & the Weapon sounds are way too loud for our ears..
Because I am lazy...to edit videos, wait for them to render, and then wait again for them to get uploaded 0:.

I got this...

Wait what is this "skyrider" version you guys are talking about?

Air Asia kids club sponsorship thingy.

We have a new track in Snow Town produced by Graalians' very own, Psycher.

Great job Psycher :)
Although, I can't hear anything when I enter Snow Town.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

PSYCHEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR :))))))))))))))))))))

too bad i cant hear it either and it's a little unfortunate that currently psycher cannot even hold a candle to the skyrider soundtrack but IM HAPPY FOR YOOOU

If you can't hear anything it is because the file is downloading. Wait a few, it should kick in.

That's what I thought, but I waited for a good 10-15 minutes and nothing played. I was using the Facebook client though, so I'll try on an iDevice.

Edit: It works on my iPad, so it must have been an issue with the Facebook client. Really nice work there Psycher, good job.

You also need to have both sounds and music ticked before you can hear any of the music. A bit weird, but that's how it works.

I didn't have them both ticked when I logged into the Facebook client, so I enabled them before I entered Snow Town. Nothing played though, so I don't know what happened. Thanks though :)

OMG
I FEEL SO PROUD OF MYSELF
WORSHIP ME

/joking

Wow. Thanks for using it. ^-^ I thought that a player would need to update the game to get new mp3 files. I guess not. I wonder how many people have actually noticed the soundtrack update, since Snowtown isn't exactly a town that's visited much.

I "lived" in snowtown for a while. Then they made my favourite house a hat shop.
Sob.

Going to go check out your music now though.

It's a really nice song for Snowtown 0:. It matches with the other iDevice soundtracks too. They should add it for Fb/Skyrider :).

Olive you.

Better than the other soundtracks we have.

I dont have music turned because the songs we have now are boring. The ones for SR sound so great where i would have the music turned on
