which music file is arrapago reef's?

[Jei]

I just had a huge fall in frame rate when I enter this zone... the same way I had with sky. Replacing music file on sky fix my problem up there, I think i'll need to do the same here :(
can anyone point me to the music file for arrapago reef please?

[Hyshio]

Saddly atm no one can because the .bgw is in ATRAC-3 format which some say is hard to crack. It was 1st used in the end CoP music's and now it cant even be read. Soo ya cant even replace it I dont think.

[Jei]

ack >< thanks for the info

You're able to swap it with existing FFXI music, so head on over to your Mog House and find out what's what.

You bring up a good point, It the best way to test out your .dat you replace and on top of all that you can zone and it should load up the .dat BGW depending on you got it right or not.

I decided to take Lucres's advice and made a list of what Ive found. Extracting them is hard but they can be moved with other music but not the conventional way. As for mp3's of these, its gonna be a long shot for them but there might be an alternate way. Ill have to get back to ya on that. Anyhow heres the list of the ToA music.

138 ToA Overworld battle Music
139 ToA Dungeon Battle Music
142 ToA Theme of Ath Urggan(probably the theme for the Emperess)
143 ToA Burning Circle battle?
144 ToA Assault Battle Theme (probably my most favorite FFXI battle music they have ever made!)
146 ToA ???? Besieged? or another Assault? (Still sounds good)
147 ToA Ship ride
148 ToA ??????? (something for a CS)
149 ToA Bahflau Thickets or Wajaom Woodlands
150 ToA Arrapago Reef
172 ToA ??????? (something for a CS)
173 ToA Caedarva Mire
174 ToA Aydeewa Subterrane
175 ToA Nashmau
176 ToA ????? (might have to do with the Chocobo Circuit)
177 ToA ????? (might have to do with the Chocobo Circuit, probably the race music)
178 ToA Al Zahbi or Ath Urhgan Whitegate
179 ToA Main Title
183 ToA ??????? (something for a CS)
184 ToA ??????? (something for a CS?)
185 ToA ??????? (something for a CS)
186 ??????? Nothing played when I did this one
187 ??????? Nothing played when I did this one

Now heres something interesting I did. I got curious and decided to do this to some of the previous unknown music and I found something very interesting.

137 Promathia Fight!
900 CoP End Credits!
999 FFXI CG movie!

Ya seems the CG movie wasnt an exact movie afterall. Plus now ya have the unknown CoP tracks.

Out of my experience over the years with the music of FFXI, I have to say ToA is the best of the best in the FFXI soundtracks. Ill try to start making some of these into MP3's when I can. Enjoy!

[Gulkeeva]

Sure kinda wished the winamp plugin was updated to play this stuff, takes alot less effort ;;

[Tirrock]

I absolutely loved the music in arrapago reef...too bad it's (possibly) messing up your game.

Nice work.

143 = Blue Mage questions CS
172 = Corsair CS

[Hyshio]

ya but I belive 143 is also a BC one but since no BC's are available as of yet suposedly, I cant prove it. Time will tell.

I have an ATRAC-3 to Mp3 converter, but sadly I lack Aht Urhgan, seeing as I haven't played in months...if anyone could send me the files, I'd gladly convert them into Mp3 format...

[Lucres]

Better yet, linky to said converter :D

Hello,

I'm an 'Allakhazam Refugee' thats just getting used to the forums here. Anyway this is something I put together a week or 2 ago and posted on Alla. I don't know if this has already been cross-posted here on FFXIonline or not but it can't hurt.

Anyway, all TAU and the last 2 COP BGWs were encoded in ATRAC3 format, which is rather unfriendly to modding and swapping. So I put this together:

http://www.filefactory.com/?d43255

This links to a ZIP file containing all the TAU and the 2 COP BGWs in NON-ATRAC3 format as well as a short TXT file with brief instructions. Meaning they can be freely swapped and can be used with the WinAmp plugin. The only problem I've found so far is that the 'pitch' is off when used with WinAmp (this is a problem I've tried to fix but I cant get around what seems to be a proprietary bit-rate). They work flawlessly in game though.

Anyway, try swapping out the BGW for Arrapago Reef from the ZIP file (backup the original), that may fix your problem.

[Kilandor]

I can confirm the Reef problem it happens to me and Ayianna also. I'm guessing its a problem with the encryption on them. Or some type of Memory leaking cause by certain songs. Turring off our sound fixed the problem. Also we had the same problem in the middle CS's of the Blue mage quest at the end

You sir, are my hero. /bow

Sad thing is most of the conversions werent that good but thats to be expected of the difficulty of this kind of format.

[Elesirdur]

The Zipped compilation has a few of the tracks slowed down (the CoP vocal track 900.bgw in particular turns the singer's Sopranino/Soprano voice into a husky Contralto - kinda cool actually) which lowers the pitch and candour of the peices to a rather noticable degree. However, it's a great set and I think everyone is happy to have access to this wonderful music - especially some of the previously unreleased CoP stuff.

[Mellowy]

Speaking of music, anyone have any idea why my MH, which I switched in the mithra character creation music to, never loop? It does in the mithra creation... but maybe that "room" resets so music automaticly reset there.

[Kobiko]

I don't think 146 is Besieged, I changed that one and it played the same music as it always did. Just guessed can replaced 4 others till I found it (although I repleaced all 4 at the same time so I'm not sure which one is the right one).

I've started to notice that with Besieged I think. If it lasts long enough - "crash". Could very well be memory leaking, and since it is the only time I hear that music I bet it is their crappy format. Maybe I should try and replace it.

Though I've yet to notice this in reef or any other place. Maybe it is the combination of memory leakage and tons of models to load.

Its not. 142 is the besieged theme. 146 atm is still unknown for what it is, but it might be another assault music or something.

[Machaveli]

I wanted to resurrect this post because that link provided no longer functions.
Has anyone else managed to convert the music from Treasures? All of the BCs are out now and I really, REALLY want to extract the music from the final part of the last BC fight. I really love that music.
