where is the file location for the maio paint composer song?

[Puggsoy]

If you're talking about the program, I said it on page 2 on the "Goofans Orchestra" thread. UnFun Games, the first link when you Google "mario paint composer".

If you're talking about an actual song, then I don't know what you're talking about.

[Kirdneh]

i downloaded MPC (mario paint composer). i created a song. how do i upload it to here?

[Kirdneh]

found out!!!

ok. i post the song's string of numbers and letters. you create and save a new, blank, song. exit.

open up the MPC file location. click on prefs. click on the name of the blank song you created. paste the song's string of numbers and letters after deleteing what is already there. presto!! done.

[Kirdneh]

first song: when you unlock something.

Sounds cool. However, I'm not sure if our game will be using that sort of music, so far it doesn't seem to fit Howitz's art theme.

Also, your method for letting us listen is OK, but to use it we still need to be able to export it as playable files. Mario Paint Composer Assistant can export to MIDI, but I can't remember if Red said if MIDI would be usable in the game.

[Albino Pokey]

You could use something like SolMiRe.com to convert, at the cost of quality.

[Kirdneh]

where is the MIDI file in the set of files? all i see is text documents.

can someone more computer-savy than me help me?

[Kirdneh]

song i made using MPC. hope you like it!! if you don't use it (doesn't fit the style, very bad, etc.) i'll be ok. here it is!!!

[Lucas Bruno]

well... I don't know about you but when I hear it I keep expecting 3 low notes after the high ones instead of 4... but other than that it's pretty good... And I don't know if it fits, but it would sound better with real insruments.

[Kirdneh]

i only have MPC :(

maybe we can use that song, revise it a little, put  to real instruments, and Presto!!!! cool music!!

i can only write the tune of the songs, but we can always change it. i'm not the good music guy, Lucas is. He can make it sound all epic and stuff.

[Kirdneh]

got new software that time i got humble indie 4. new version of song, called good night:

[Lucas Bruno]

That's quite better! However the middle part of the song... i don't know it just seems as if it's not going anywhere and is kind of random. no offense though that's quite an improvement!

[Kirdneh]

i need to hear good advise like that, so i can make my songs better. it might take a few tries, but i'll get it.

[kirdneh]

edited version of Howitz's forest art. If  you go to  http://www.picnik.com, you can get premium for free as they are closing on April 19. you can't really do anything without premium, so that's cool.

[Lucas Bruno]

...

 

...

 

Stunning....

 

 

Awesome...

 

 

I could never draw, paint, color, or use a computer program to make something that realistic! In fact, If we use that good of art in the game, I'd say it'd make you feel as if your there without any effects or anything!

[kirdneh]

actually, that was just an edited version of Howitz's art, i didn't do much :P be sure to give him all the credit, i just did the shining light effect.

a few more of Howitz's art i edited:

[kirdneh]

more stuff:

[kirdneh]

and i forgot:

[Lucas Bruno]

Ah ha, I see what you mean by editing now! Lol. I meant that Howitz's art was all the above and you made it look cool too

[Albino Pokey]

That's actually my art, not Howitz's, but nice job on the editing! They look really cool!

[Lucas Bruno]

OH! Oops. Nice anyway!

[Albino Pokey]

Here's my idea for changing the main menu theme, it goes between m12 and 32, with the modulated part moved nearer to the end.

It's provided in both Finale and MusicXML formats, which can be played/viewed with Finale Reader (which should still be free).

[Lucas Bruno]

Hmmm.... as for percussion that could use work, as for the voice and gliss added that's dramatic and cool... the rest... not so sure about...

[Albino Pokey]

The rest of the theme is mostly your work, I just moved it over slightly. Yeah, I'm not so sure about the "round"/"canon" with that. Mostly I was just trying to make a transition.

Also, sorry about the illegible percussion. Finale Notepad doesn't like multiple percussion staves. :P

[Hendrik Henderson]

oh, whoops, sorry AP. 

[kirdneh]

hey, ap, can make another blast template i can edit as the players will notice the repetiveness as all the blasts look the same? thanks. thisis pretty much the only thing i can do right now.

[kirdneh]

for now, though, i can only do this:

[Albino Pokey]

Sure. I'll send it to the Google Group later.

[Albino Pokey]

Sorry, this isn't meant to be an insult. I'm just saying that your theme is great. The reason that part sounds weird is because I tried to put it into a canon and it didn't work. Just use your original theme there.

[Lucas Bruno]

Ok. But what do you mean by cannon? Like pachabell's cannon? I don't think my theme is that style... and so for the edited score should I add that dramatic gliss and D major chord leading into the theme or just leave it as is?

[Albino Pokey]

Canon, as in, piano starts playing theme A, two measures later violin starts playing theme A, and so on. So lots of instruments are playing the same thing, but a bit staggered. It didn't really work here.

I was thinking the glissando and chord could go in front of the "adventurous" part instead of the modulated theme, then the modulated part could be moved after it. I was just trying to come up with sort of an adventurous transition.

[Albino Pokey]

Darn. It's too big to email. I'll see if I can send them in pieces.

In the mean time, I sent my spell gallery through a Photoshop script to extract the layers into a Zip file. Here's the result--each spell in PNG format with both a transparent and a black background, and I think it stuck my magic-cloud-background-render in too.

[Albino Pokey]

Actually, never mind. That's just ridiculous. If you delete the previous message I'll send it in a better format.

Okay, real new first part. The other was still too big. These are all uncompressed now.

Here you go. New first part.

[kirdneh]

thanks, i'll get to work on these tomorrow.

[kirdneh]

i am working on the editing now, and i am experimenting with it. i don't know if we decide to do more manga-ish blasts or more realistic. i am making both for wider selection.

[Albino Pokey]

I'll make you a more manga-ish thing now.

[Albino Pokey]

Here you go. Swirly little light thingies. With these and the fireball stuff you should be able to make a good blast effect.
