After 3 years of playing and downloading NWN content from the Vault i thought it was time to give something back :)
Here are the BMU files from the game Arcanum.The music was free for download on the official arcanum page and(and a bonus track which didn't make it to the game is downloaded from the authors site),but the offical site isn't there anymore because Troika broke down. Sierra has the copyrights but since they offered the tracks for free and I still had the mp3 files on my HD so i thought it was safe to share them.
The composer of this music is Ben Houge,whoalso made music for Guildwars,Halflife and many other games.
this is the link to his website for more info:http://www.benhouge.com/index.html You can also hear a sample of the main track on this site.
I only converted the bitrate to 128Kbps and after that converted to BMU and renamed the files so they could be converted.
Arcanum, subtitled Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura, released in 2001, was Troika Games' first RPG. A novel aspect of the game was its game world, which unlike the usual fantasy/scifi dichotomy, offered a mixture of the two, in a compelling mixture of high fantasy and steampunk.
unpack with Winrar and extract to your nwn music folder.need to be renamed and no 2da/hakpack yet.

Well, remake Arcanum as NWN1 module is pretty possible. We have stylish clothes, carriages, gunpowder weapons, a lot of tilesets, only railroads are missing. Even Tech/Magic Aptitude can be emulated via aligment (renaming Lawful to Tech and Chaotic to Magick, and using these in scripts for checks). Even technological crafting can be recreated.

It's impossible without making changes to game files ;)

Arcanum is, in my opinion, the best CRPG ever made. And the music is almost as great as the game. Thanks a million! _________________________ I'd give my left arm to be ambidextous!
