Okay, so this may be is a question for the modding crowd, but it's really relevant here. How do I put a file, say, Retro's History of X and Y, into DF? The tileset/mod I'm using has no music, and that makes me sad.
Using free software like Audacity, combine all of the music you want into one track, save as .ogg, copy into data/sound, rename as "song_game.ogg". Or just run your media player at the same time as DF...

This is pretty awesome.  I lost my own tabs years ago, and I'd forgotten how to play many parts of the song, so it was fun to go through and play it again.

I came up with a few notes playing through it.

Thank you Toady. I get the impression that you get asked for this tab a lot, thanks to a couple of threads. I tried to make it as close to the original recording as possible.

I have to say that I absolutely love this song. :)

Yeah, after going through the tab once more a couple of weeks ago, I noticed the recording actually sounds like this:

Actually, the harmonic is done in the GuitarPro file. Tuxguitar isn't the best program for exporting tabs to text, so most of the markings are missing. That's why I mentioned wanting a volunteer to polish the text version of the tab in the first post.

Hah, that's awesome. I think I might provide a Toady One edited version of this tab. Like you said, that part is so ingrained in my mind it sounds weird to not repeat it.

That's definitely a lot easier to play. It doesn't sound as cool, though. ;D

Thanks for your input!

Yay, download is fixed.  I tried last week and guitar pro wouldn't open the file.  I'll be adding this to my list of songs to work on.  Thanks! :D

Yeah, sorry about that.

The TXT is sorta broken now. If you try downloading song_game.txt and you get song_game.gp5, just rename it to a txt. I can't change file types from within Mediafire.

Thanks a lot for this work!

Nice work from Lucas UP too. If you could give your real name to post in the mp3 "Artist" tag it would be nice to give credit where its due.

BTW, i've been triying to play the tab conversion for piano and it hasnt worked well for me (i really suck at reading, tough). I tried printing it from the MIDI page converter, but that didnt work out either, as the scale(? not a native english speaker) was off, or my piano isnt in tune. Im gonna try to see if i can do something about it, but i havent played in about 4 years or so, so wish me luck.

If it's worth referencing, there is an old tab post of Toady_One. From the looks of it, it looks like it's a bit different from the one you have there.

The forum move killed some of the tabs.  It also looks like it butchered some of the parts you were having trouble with.  The following isn't much more complete, but has a little extra, and the part you hate is probably a lot easier, maybe:

Have you tabbed out the rest of the song?  Or were you going to do the intro part?

Btw, this is the one I've been playing.

That's actually what I started off with. It's incomplete and wrong in a couple of parts (most notably bar 2) which is why I decided to make this one.
Thanks a lot for this work!

Thanks. I couldn't find anything that would convert MIDI to piano score, with the treble and bass clefs, if that's what you mean. I'd really like it, so if anyone finds a way to get it please share. I'll give you credit and post the instructions in the main post, too. :)

Thanks for the tab man, must have taken a lot of patience to figure it out, maybe even harder then making the song.

Well done..
Now convert it for use in 'Frets on Fire' or 'Guitar Hero'
Bonus points if you make the background graphics to resemble Rowdy Dwarfs.

You're welcome. It was tough, but I can say that tabbing a song definitely isn't as difficult as composing it.
Though it wasn't played perfectly, excellent video! I've been waiting for someone to make one. :D
You should tune next time you make a video, though.
