Drums

I bought some drums, and this is low priority--but they play a tinkling music when I use them. Can you swap the tinkling music effect for some serious war drum sounds? My half-orc bard feels like a pansy with tinkling flute music.

Bards are pansies even the half orc ones XD

All joking aside.

Are you sure the tinkling isn't just the start of the music? I think some of em start of tinkling and then have drum effects. Also have you decent speakers? I find on lower quality ones you can't notice alot of the instruments which are actually laying (which can make alot of nwn msic sound cruddy) earphones help alot too.

All the instruments I have used in EfU make the same "tinkling" sound.

I think they're on the todo list somewhere but I'm not sure how far it's moved yet.

All of our instruments make the same "tinking" sound; it's definitely just quick scripting on my part, rather than any issue on your end. Although this is low priority, it's definitely something that can be done pretty quickly, and so I should be able to get this in fairly soon. It would facilitate the process greatly if you could track down and recommend the names of appropriate sound clips to play for each of the instruments that need revising.

For drums, there is a tamba sound. I forget where it is, but it's totally awesome for drums.

See, being the nice guy I am. I planned to look for the sound bytes anyway.

Added. Some instruments will get "nicer" sounds with higher Perform checks.

Cool! I think I'm gonna make a bard now someday. :D

Also, if you can think of other, better, or more appropriate sound clips to go with particular instruments, toss those recommendations up here and I'll see what I can do.

Dying cat sound effect for violin-type instrument.
