UPDATE: The hero modifiers I used for custom death music have been removed since it seems they keep screwing with the hero file in updates, causing the mod to break things.

I really wish the sound effects were handled separately so this wasn't an issue.

That's...A really weird bug and I'll have to look into it. I might need to just nix the player death jingle I added, since that modifies the base character.

Just subscribed to this. It seems that turning the mod on breaks jumping down platforms (jump + down). I need to dive kick to go through them. I really wanna use the mod but this is a really strange bug.

@John
There are several CV3 remixes in this already, including Mad Forest and Aquarius.

Yeah it works thanks, the only thing that I think would have made this mod even better would have been a few tracks from Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse, there a lot of really good ones on there. I feel 3 greats are: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOjgLJK5tYY = 09:21 - Mad Forest
= 15:24 - Dead Beat = 22:49 - Aquarius. And I've always felft this sound would be great for the bank stage - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ti2EQlX6yzY . Keep up the great work!

Can confirm the hotfix works. For some reason the json for the Beheaded got some stuff renamed for no apparent reason, causing Dead Cells to look at the json and not recognize it and crash the game.

Sorry about that! Didn't realize they were going to just rename a stupid jump and cause this *entire thing* to break in the process.

Hotfix incoming, I didn't realize the latest update actually broke the death sound modification and caused the game to crash. Testing the fix now.

Thanks! I'm hoping to find some free time to work on my ys x Dead cells soundtrack mod soon.

Nice track selection, well done!

Okay, I lied. ONE last update. Somehow the Dracula's Castle music had some horrible compression I hadn't noticed making it sound awful, that's fixed.

Finally did the update, decided to keep Symphony of Battle for the clock room fight, while using Treize De Spirit for the Queen fight. Pretty much considering this mod "done" at this point.

Also, it won't be for awhile yet, but I am also going to be starting work on a SECOND music mod:

Ys x Dead Cells.

Some previews for your enjoyment:

True Final Boss: https://youtu.be/6PPui3GfGCY?list=PL044D7ABC2B744027

Symphony of Battle is sadly going to be gone, though again, the original file will remain in the .pak for those who want to rename/swap tracks. I may also do a "Side B" version of the mod that contains the original track choices (IE, Crystal Teardrops for Cavern, Empty Tome for Queen, etc) since those tracks are still present in the mod itself.

I may also turn the "Lite Fix" into a standalone mod so the option to swap back to the original Dead Cells soundtrack is available without having to change active mods. 8-Bit isn't going anywhere of course.

Heads up, some track changes will be coming in the next update. The old tracks will remain present in the files though if you want to change them yourself with paktool and some file renaming.

Empty Tome is being moved to Time Keeper, because I feel it lacks the right feel for a final boss, for one.

This is a preview of the replacement, which I think works QUITE well.

Other changes:

Chronicles version of Bloody Tears in Ossuary is being swapped out for the Judgment version which sounds cleaner when looped. Also fits the more gothic rock oriented feel of the soundtrack as a whole.

Trashard in the Cave is going to have to use an actual fadeout loop since I can't create a clean loop for it at all.

Big update incoming. One song change (Crystal Teardrops removed in favor of another track I think fits more due to the fact the Cavern biome is a very deadly place that wants you dead) and the Alternative music has been normalized to provide a more consistent volume level.

unfortunately some of those loop issues can't be fixed due to how the songs work.

Does this mod fix the looping of some tracks as well?

Note that it doesn't disable actual content unlocks, such as Boss Stem Cells, only achievements.

Damn... that sucks...
Well... gonna get achievements i wanted and then switch to this mod

Per the mod info, achievements unfortunately will be disabled and I cannot help that. ALL mods disable achievements except language. :(

Small question... does this mod disable achievements? I am kinda new to modding this game so i just want to be sure

Other than that... i love your selection of tracks. I was kinda surprised that Dracula's Final Form didn't use simon's theme while switched to CV OST (i don't even recognize the track that plays instead of it)
Also... Awake... seeing it here had put a smile on my face. One of the best songs imo

Whoops, forgot one track for the 8-bit, fixing that.

Pending any additional fixes or possibly making a few loops on the main soundtrack better, I am now considering this mod feature complete!

Fixed for real this time I hope. I forgot I had to change one song's filename (or rather make a copy of the song and rename it) for the title screen.

Wow, ONE case sensitive typo completely broke this mod. Sorry about that folks! It's been fixed.
