📋 About This Mod

This ED-E combat music replacer is simply a remake based on lucasjose501’s Flight of the ValkED-E.

I created it from the ground up using Sony Vegas and a lossless version of Wagner’s ‘Die Walküre - Act III’. I never got a chance to use lucasjose’s version of the mod as it was removed from the Nexus due to bugs, so I’m unaware of the differences between my mod and his. My sounds are closer to the length of the vanilla sounds. I thought that perhaps the looping bug was due to the length of lucasjose’s samples of 20 seconds (or whatever). Either way I’ve tested it in game and it works well enough for me. I won’t be making updates to this mod even if it does suffer from the same bug as lucasjose’s; I simply don’t have the modding ‘know-how’.

Richard Wagner for his meisterwerk

lucasjose501 for the original mod
