Game Over Music - Dies Irae and You Are Dead

DESCRIPTION

Vanilla game doesn't have death music. I found a way to enable it and add custom music. I've created two different ones, both are about 2. 5 minutes each. I'll see if I can add other songs as I go.

Option 1: You Are Dead From the old 90's game Total Distortion (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pPQnhhUqtU)

Option 2: Lore friendly, Gregorian Chant of Dies Irae (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsn9LWh230k) which historically was used in Requiem Masses (funerals).

Update 5/9/25:

Dies Irae - Changed the art on the death screen to show Requiem Mass art. There are 9 different images, but I'm not quite sure what triggers each one.

You Are Dead - Change the art on the death screen to show the Total Distortion Guitar Warrior as in the banner.

Information

I have two different versions for each. They're the same thing, but the second version includes the longer main_layer.widsh file from the KCD1 music pack. This enables compatibility with that mod since the main_layer.widsh is not PTF. None of the files in this mod are PTF. However, in most cases, they should not be edited by other mods (hopefully).

It uses the following files

B-E-GAMEOVER.sqcb (song itself)

main_layer.widsh  (to adjust the length of the sound clip, interrupt any other music, and fade when the level reloads)

music_matrix.xml (allows for the use of the B-E-GAMEOVER.sqcb file rather than default of silence)

game_over_#_ui.dds (changes the textures for the game over screen)

Instructions

Just install in mods directory. If you're using the KCD1 Music Mod, make sure this one is in your mod_order.txt to load after it. It is now called game_over_music regardless of which option you choose.

HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN

If you wish to create your own game over sound, you need to convert your music into an ogg file and then pack it into the scqb (using SCQB Editor). Next, edit the main_layer.widsh (use mine as a template so it works properly in game) in notepad and find the section called SCENE EVENTS/B-E-GAMEOVER. From here, the section that starts with M needs to be updated.

M 0 6944981 7056000

Update the 7056000 to the time. This song was 2:27 so 147 seconds. 48000 = 1 second, therefore 147 x 48000 = 7056000. I put the second number at about 98% of the last one.

I'm not sure if the syncpoints matter, but just add and remove as needed.

If you wish to edit the dds image files that show on the death screen, you can use a program like paint. NET.
