Guild Wars 2

Sorry for late response…

fmagrao: Sorry, but Arenanet does not like the downloader at all, so I no longer support that feature.
munkaybizkitten: Now thats weird… It seems the playlists are somehow corrupted… Could you try and delete all the playlists you have in the Music folder? If you don’t want to lose them, you can try just moving the playlists elsewhere and then load them using the playlist editor.
RipVanWinkleX: Could you check if the playlists are in the correct folder according to http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Customized_soundtrack ? Unless Anet changed something, it should work just fine.

May I…. bump this a little? You don’t mind, right?

The issue is with all the playlists – it always plays the first song first and then it randomizes. The workaround is to add an empty sound file at the beginning of each playlist. You can also use my soundtrack editor tool that does it all for you.

I wouldn’t trade my longbow for anything. I’m usually fighting 5+ mobs at once raining destruction on them while kiting their attacks. They drop like flies

Thank you for your dedication

I think I found out what might be causing problems on your part… Try to redownload it again, hopefully for the last time now. Also try to copy-paste the avbin.dll to your windows/system32 folder, if it makes any difference for you. That’s the place where it should find libraries for sure.

It’s a weird bug, but not on my part. I downloaded another program that also needs it and it has the same problems even though the library is in the same directory. Then I restarted my PC and it suddenly started to work. So try doing the same.

If it doesn’t work even then, don’t worry, the file will still be added into the playlist and will play correctly in game. The only thing that won’t work is the detection of track length and playing it inside the playlist editor.

It should be fixed now. I have no idea why it couldn’t find the folder, but the manual choice works now. I guess I should have tested it more extensively…
Good point Jackard. It now opens the folder where the first file of the playlist is located.

Glad you like it guys

Hope they will be back soon

The damage formula is currently weapon damage * power * skill modifier / target defense, so it’s not that easy to tell as it depends on the power you have without the weapon. You need to check what weapon has the largest damage * total power.

Just to put it into an even bigger perspective, this is how it compares to other low end graphic cards: http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/video_lookup.php?gpu=GeForce+6150SE+nForce+430

And here is my old laptop card that runs the game on minimum details with 20-30 fps: http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/video_lookup.php?gpu=Mobility+Radeon+HD+530v

Jackard.3071:

This keeps throwing up an error when I try to use a track, saying the file is corrupted and that I need AVbin.

So I installed AVbin, but that didn’t help.

Ooh, my bad! I forgot to include that dependency -_-
Download the archive again, it should now have avbin.dll included.

If you find any other bugs, please let me know!

The app itself is completely legal. It only manipulates the playlist files game uses to play your custom music as described here: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Customized_soundtrack

What does it do?

It’s a Graphical User Interface for the current soundtrack editing feature in Guild Wars 2. It should allow you to customize what music will be played in any situation in the game in a hopefully easy and intuitive way.

Why should I use it?

Adding custom music in the game is currently a long and inconvenient process. You must create a playlist using some compatible player, name it correctly and paste it in a correct folder. Also, to bypass the random playing feature/bug, you must download or otherwise create an empty music file and include it in the playlist as a first file. This tool does it all for you.

How to use it?

First, you create a new playlist and choose which files you want to include. Then, in the main window, you can select in which situation in the game it will be played. When you’re done, simply close the app and it’s all set!

How to play my own music together with the default one?

It’s unfortunately not possible with the current system. The game does not use these categories for it’s own music. Instead, each zone seems to have it’s own. The only way to accomplish this would be to get the in-game music and add it to the playlist, too. I have a tool that does this, but Anet doesn’t like the idea at all, so I can’t share it with you. Hopefully they will add an option for that, maybe in the form of some switch in playlist’s meta-data.

OK, where to get it?

Here is the sourceforge page: https://sourceforge.net/projects/gw2soundtracked/
Apart from downloading, you can also check out the screenshots or write a review…
