Locke's Game Music Database

[Locke Cole]

Hey there,

My latest project has been to make my music available to browse over the web, so people can request stuff and just take a look at whats available. Feel free to check it out and leave feedback, questions or requests here in this thread. http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/smile.gif

http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/note.gif http://www.vgmusic.info/ http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/note.gif

I can't run an FTP anymore, but I can upload requests for you. Feel free to suggest features for the db too. Enjoy http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/smile.gif

** No More Requests Are Being Taken At This Time **

Please leave any requests you may have here in this thread. We can discuss contact details and server information over private message, however my PM box gets pretty full, so please leave basic request posts in the thread. Thanks http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/smile.gif

Available request options:

a) IRC DCC File transfer
b) AOL Instant Messenger File Transfer
c) Setup an FTP and I'll upload it to you directly.
d) Suggest other options.

I will -not- email these files, so please do not suggest this option when requesting.

[jetblue]

By the god's your collection is vast.
I am really interested in AOE 2 ost and GensoSuikogaiden:sword of harmonia
and Suikogaiden Vol 2:last duel crystal valley.
How can you upload these for me?

[Locke Cole]

Thats actually only about half of it so far jetblue :)

But anyways, if you send me a PM over the forums with an ftp I can upload to, I'd be glad to do so. Other methods such as AIM also work (AIM name: rpgamersnet).

[Myrkul]

Hello, nice collection :)

I got a question regarding the website...

How did you do it.. ?
I imagine you did not write yourself every track with every size, and every length.. ? :confused:

[Locke Cole]

Actually... originally I was going to do it by hand, but then my good ol' friend Laban smacked me upside the head and told me the amazing powers of PHP and MySQL. We have a custom script that indexes my songs and adds them into a database.

Then we wrote scripts to output and search the db, and poof, you have a web music database. The db contains some information not shown such as CRC checks and MD5 verification codes, however I'm still developing it.

Much of the credit goes to Laban, he has been a huge help with coding issues and getting me started. Everything is based off his code. I simply edited it some to suit my needs. :)

[Myrkul]

That's nice. I know the power of php, but i did not know it could index files :)

Is there a way to have the source of the code/script ?
Having nearly the same number of albums as you, i would like to make a similar website...

I know there's already some tools to index directory/files, but not this way (with length...)

Do you think it's possible? :)

[Locke Cole]

The scripts are still very buggy, and need a lot of work before they are released to anyone. There are some flaws, and its pretty customized, so its not suited for other collections at this time. Maybe once its all fixed up we'll work towards a release version of the script. :)

[BAMAToNE]

I have those two Suikogaiden albums, too, if Locke doesn't have to time upload it or something.

That's pretty cool, the db. I wish I could do something like that. Alas, databases are not something I'm any good with. Congrats. :)

[Locke Cole]

Well once its fully developed, maybe we can make it work for everyone :) Its still got a long way to go, updating is done funny, and detecting modified/deleted files is still buggy, but its making progress. Indexing 22,000 or so mp3s takes approx 2hours on a 1.7GHz celeron box. It indexes bitrate, length, CRC, MD5, filesize, and some other random information.

[Kilu]

Hey that's cool. I think I'm starting to be interested in this as well :) :D

[HellStorm]

hi locke i was wondering if i can request the entire technosoft music collection especially thunder force series ? i really like the music but until now i only managed to find the only source from u. sad to say as of now ur ftp is gone or down.

i hope i can somehow get them from u any means thanks.

[Zorathenne]

Good Lord... I can only hope that one day my collection will grow up to be as.... large.. as yours and Laban's.. I would gladly offer trades.. but I think you have what I have *giggle*. I would like to put in a request for Star Ocean 3 ~ Til the end of time Vol 1 and 2 and both Studio Ghibli collections.. I'm afraid to look through everything else you have.. I might find way too many other things I would want!

[Locke Cole]

Jetblue: Your requests are being processed and uploaded. :)

Hellstorm: How would you like to go about the file exchange? I can no longer run an FTP server, and email is out of the question.

Zorathenne: As the newest RPGN Mirror, your wish is my command :) You can look forward to seeing those requests soon! PM me an account I can upload to.

[Zorathenne]

Aww! Thanks! *does the 'newest RPGN Mirror Dance'*

[jetblue]

Thank You Locke. (bowing in gratitude)
I was outside enjoying hearing the cold rain on the leaves and when I came in I saw the server was done. I hope it was'nt to difficult. I saw the server log kept kicking you out. I have to tweak it.
Have you seen the intro for Suikogaiden vol.1? Its one of my favorites. I like it better than the intros for suikoden 1,2,3. And the theme is so soothing. Now I can hear it anytime instead of playing the game on the Ps1 and overheating the motor.http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/smile.gif

[HellStorm]

erm file exchange ? sorry but i don't have any collection for trades orz.......

[Locke Cole]

Hellstorm: By exchange I mean from me to you, exchanging hands. You don't have to send me anything :)

Jetblue: Uploads complete.

[Talking Rabbit]

What sort of feasible file transfer methods are there? I've been searching the net desperately for the Grandia Original Soundtracks, and now I've found them it doesn't look like I can get them anyway! AND I'm only on dial-up, which I'm sure doesn't help file transfer in the slightest...

[Kilu]

There is always the option for you to join our irc chat and try to get Locke dcc them to you :)

[Locke Cole]

Available request options:

a) IRC DCC File transfer
b) AOL Instant Messenger File Transfer
c) Setup an FTP and I'll upload it to you directly.
d) Suggest other options.

I will -not- email these files, so please do not suggest this option when requesting.

[Talking Rabbit]

Oh! You can do it over the AOL IM? That'd be great! But, um, wouldn't the time be an issue for that?

[Locke Cole]

Time? I'm on a 24/7 internet connection, why would time be a problem for me? I'm confused :o

[Kilu]

Timezones? Maybe he is asleep when you are awake? :p

[Zedie9]

:) I'd guess that he's worried that his dialup connection might take too long and be bothersome to you, Locke. But, I've been wrong before... just not as often as Kilu. ;)

[Talking Rabbit]

Timezones? Maybe he is asleep when you are awake? :p
That's exactly what I was thinking, being in the UK and all. :D

[Talking Rabbit]

OK I think I've figured I can usually be online from 5pm - 9pm UK time (which is 12 noon - 4pm Ontario time...I think).

Not always though, depends what sort of mood my sister's in!

[Kilu]

:) I'd guess that he's worried that his dialup connection might take too long and be bothersome to you, Locke. But, I've been wrong before... just not as often as Kilu. ;)
But who was right this time :dance: :w00t:

[Locke Cole]

My AIM name is "rpgamersnet". If I'm on AIM, I'm available to send you files. My work, hell, my life is on my PC, so I'm on between 8am-1am usually, AFK sometimes but usually near the PC. I can always leave the files sending and go do other stuff.

In fact, I just finished sending an album over AIM to Pacey. The reason I like using AIM rather then other messengers is it has a "send directory" option, which is godlike for things like this. I don't mind other options if you prefer, feel free to suggest them.

Zorathenne, your requests have been uploaded, do enjoy. Kilu, you're up next. :)

[Locke Cole]

Kilu: Check the /Requested Uploads ~ From Locke/ folder on Kyari's for your request. Enjoy! :D

:knockedout: I'm outta requests for now, so I'm gonna head off to bed! :zzz:

[Kilu]

Thanks :)
It's like a dream come true :D

[bjp4444]

Locke just thought i should say thank you again for all your help last night. Your collection is impressive, and thanks for taking it easy on the ftp newbie.

-bjp

[Talking Rabbit]

Cool, that's great Locke! Probably means I'll be hassling you a lot over the next week or so!!

[Locke Cole]

I'm available to upload, anyone need anything?

[Kilu]

Final Fantasy 1 & 2 OST :) This is one of the very few FF soundtracks that I'm interested in :)

[Locke Cole]

Talking Rabbit - Request completed.
Kilu - Request Completed.
Medeline35 - Request Completed. (AIM user, just browses our forums)

:) Its fun sending files again. I wish I could reopen my FTP. Ah well.

[Locke Cole]

Tobochicho: Upload complete.

I have just added a new feature to my web database thingy, that allows me to mark an album as "verified". If it has a checkmark on the folder, that means that all of the tracks appear complete, are properly named and the album is generally complete. :)

[KyleJCrb]

I've PM'd my request to you, Locke. This is simply an incredible collection full of rare soundtracks I have yet to find anywhere else. Thank you so much for this!

[Locke Cole]

KyleJCrb: Your requests are now being uploaded, I hope you'll consider staying and chatting with us on our forums as well :) And my collect grows larger everyday, so do check back often!

[Takagi-kun]

Hi,

Locke, I've just sent you a PM regarding a few of your Soundtracks. If you have some free time I'd really appreciate your help. Thanks a lot and nice collection!

[Guy]

I also sent you a PM about one of your soundtracks, ive been looking for these songs for a while.

[LordLuXun]

I sent a PM about a soundtrack too. Yeah, it's the only soundtrack I'm interested in. I can't find it anywhere else. Thanks in advance!

[revetude]

Ok, I sent my PM in. I'm just another n00b though, so no one has to pay attention. thanks anyways..

[Locke Cole]

Is everyone afraid to post their requests here in the topic? Stay, talk, chat, post :) I'll get to everyones' requests one at a time. Thank you for your patience.

[Guy]

Wow, you`ve got a huge collection.......... From almost every game ive seen....(and still remember) *looks some more*

[KyleJCrb]

I'm still patiently waiting for my requests: Can't wait to hear 'em!

[Neo_Stythys]

Hello, Locke.
When you were still hosting your FTP server I usually tried to download as much as I possibly could because I wanted to be a server. I still do, and now since I'm getting a T3 line, I may be able to, but, my collection is still small. I was wondering, could I send you a hard drive so you could simply copy everything over? No muss and fuss with the internet, no connection speeds, it'd just be easier. If you like this idea, that'd be great, because after I get the T3 line, I'd like to give back to everyone that I've so thankfully taken from. I don't know, just an idea...

[Ality]

Hey Locke, I was wondering if you could get a hold of the OST for the
Nintendo 64 game called "Jet Force Gemini". That's the album I'd request from you if you have it. Any response would be appreciated :)

My AIM and Yahoo Messenger ID is "Ality00". Thanks!

[Nemesis31]

congratulations Locke Cole, beautiful collection, if you can upload to me the OST the sword of Berserk; thks

[BlackCrane]

Locke, you are really hard to get a hold of. I've been trying to IM you for days. My AIM name is FFVILeo

[revetude]

yeah, would it be easier to just use the IRC thing instead of im?

[Locke Cole]

This message goes out to everyone who has sent me request(s):

Please be patient.

You may not know, but I have over 30 unfilled requests via the forums and a further pile by email. I am getting to them one by one, so it may take abit before I get to you, depending on how much each person asked for.

I haven't forgotten anyone :)

[Kilu]

Patience is a virtue.

[BlackCrane]

Lots of people don't have that virtue..............

[Zeugma 440]

Let's say that it doesn't make any difference if you have this virtue or not. You'll always end up receiving what you're waiting for later than what you expected :p
IMO, is way more convenient to be patient since you don't get pissed off each time it occurs :D

-> learn to be patient, guys, you'll need it in our world of FTPing :spin:

[Astrolounge]

Patience.

-bjp

[Kilu]

http://www.vgmusic.info/index.php?page=O

What you need are OGCs apparently :)
OGC4 has the FFVI Opera song, and OGC1 has the Zelda theme. And the rest of OGCs are worth to check out as well. And Locke has them all.

[BalmungXIII]

Thanks

Alex

[daniel]

Hi well if you ever get the time, I would like very much in my collection Tekken Tag Tournement :) no rush Locke but thats my first and probably final request;) :)

Oh and I have just realised you have the direct audio from PS2, a few questions. The difference between this and the CD? The way in which the ps2 audio was extracted and if it wasn't recorded, how was it extracted, with what program? (up until now i believe it impossible to simply rip the music audio so I take it the audio was recorded)

[SDC]

Hey LC.

I was wondering if it isn't much of a hassle if you can upload the Garou Densestsu: Mark of the Wolves OST up if possible on an AIM connection.

DOn't know just how I'd be able to download it, but I would be very grateful and appreciative should you do so.

[Locke Cole]

SDC: Request Completed.

[Bad Queen]

hello i like to request ace comabt 1 album and the tekken 2 strike fighting vol 1 & 2 plz i am brando4787 on aol thankyou :D

[bond4154]

I think I've PMed you on this before, but I'd like the soundtrack to "Ace Combat 05: The Unsung War", if you have it, please. My AIM screename is bond4154. You can call up a time through my email, bond4154@yahoo.com. If mIRC works for Mac, I can do it that way as well. Thank you very much.

[KyleJCrb]

Hey Locke,
I've been waiting for awhile for my requests, so I was just wondering when they might get uploaded. As a refresher, I requested these albums:

Gradius Perfect Selection II
Gran Turismo - Rock Arrange
Gran Turismo OGS
(I also requested the Gran Turismo 3 OST: Don't worry about that, as I have found it via bittorrent)

I'm not in a huge rush, but I would appreciate those albums. :) I'm also looking for the Konami Battle The Best Perfect Selection album: It'd be great if I could get that from you, too. Thanks, Locke!

[Lord Draud]

i want the first Tetris OST!

[chunkymonkey921]

[eViL bAz]

[Lucethira]

May I make just one small request? I want one song, from Metal Gear Solid OGS, track 13, Enclosure. My aim is YummyPecan. I'm definitely online 6-10pm pst, not sure about other times.

Thanks

[Linkmegax]

I would appreciate the music from the Mega Man and Mega Man X series. That's a lot so maybe X1 + X2 for starters. My AIM is the same as my forum name and e-mail so get ahold of me in whichever way is most convenient for you. Thanks.

[cgf1000]

Hi, I would like to request these OSTs:

Napple Tale OST 1
Napple Tale OST 2

If possible you can upload them at:

http://www.streamload.com/Roots/Upload.asp

My acct is cgfstr.

Please tell me if this option is not good for you.
Thanks

[RuciBard]

Locke:

I am desperately looking for any Dragon Quest Symphonic Suite albums. I can't even find these CDs to BUY off eBay. It really ticks me off and I can't find any places to download them.

My AIM name is mm3burden.

[Draike]

Locke, you are a GODSEND! If you only knew how long I've been looking for a way to download or rip the music from the first three Spyro the Dragon games.

If it's not too much trouble, I'd love to get the full albums of Spyro the Dragon, Spyro 2, and Spyro: Year of the Dragon from you. I wish I had something not on your list to give you in return for it, but holy crap you've got game music pouring from the walls. o___o;;;

My AIM is DragonicPyro, and then I can get you into my FTP server or do a file transfer, whichever is easier for you. :)

[Gren]

As tempting as it is to just spam requests for every Ys album you have, I will practice restraint!

If you could send me Ys III Perfect Collection on AIM I would be eternally grateful.

My screen name is Daemonifuge... remember, A before E.

Thank you very much. :D

[Astrolounge]

Except after F, or when used as a V as in Vucker or Vloat.
...
Yes, I am insane.

[Sky_Render]

Edit: Hooray for Celeri! I retract my request.

Sorry my friend like u can see Locke is not taking anymore reques well thats what he says in his post :(

[Kilu]

I have a feeling that most people will just read the first post of this topic, and reply after that. So there is a big change that request will keep pouring in just like before.

[eViL bAz]

Hehehehe poor locke has a lot of work

[bjp4444]

if i have any requests in your queue, please remove them. i hope this will lighten your heavy load.


go pistons
-bjp

[Kilu]

Locke should probably edit the first post accordingly. Just in case.

[SuperMarioSunshineDude]

I would like to make a request for a Game Rip OST of Mario Party 4 please

[eViL bAz]

Same for me Locke erease my request, when you have a little free time just tell me ok?:D

[Myrkul]

Hello :)
I'll try my luck again with Locke :) (i already asked this 2 months ago)

-- Is there any chance to release the script / code of your "Website" ? --
:)

I really would like to do the same ... I own a bit less than 800 albums too.
And i would be glad to help ppl like you do Locke. But i would like to do it the same way as you, showing my list. By hand it will take forever...

[Zeugma 440]

If not, I might get to work on a similar script for my own needs.
It will generate a HTML or XML catalog thanks with a PHP or Perl engine (don't know yet). If you have any suggestion, please let me know before I start :D

[Zeugma 440]

After a deeper thinking, I think the best would be to create an application (not scripts) that would generate automatically a static HTML catalog (way faster than XML or dynamic stuff) containing all the albums and titles, once you have provided the program with the necessary information (folders, albums info, type of sorting...).

The database itself would be in custom files generated by the program. It would contain all the necessary info for the titles (name, length, everything in the tag) and albums (name, release date, composer, genre, platform, completed/not...). Thus it would be possible to sort the HTML catalog by title, composer, year, platform (...) when generating it.

What do you think about this idea ?

[Kilu]

I think it's nice idea.

[Myrkul]

That's a good idea Zeugma :)

There are already some softwares around that can "generate" an html list of your "folders"...

It can list many things (folders name/size/date/ - files name/size/date ... - sorting..)
But so far i don't have found anything that can calculate the length of all mp3 (exept Winamp generated playlist...), and all the soft generates only 1 big html page.

But it's better than nothing, and i'll try to do something with this until i can find better.
Better than nothing, but can you do a good "mp3/album search engine" like on Locke website with only html ?

[Zeugma 440]

I can handle all the tags & lengths issues, that's not a problem.

The only problem with static webpages is that searching is not possible. One has to set a database up, and code sc ripts for a dynamic website.

Do you think this feature is critical (i.e. is that really important to you) ?

[Myrkul]

how will you do for lengths ? by hand ? O_O
( i got more than 20,000 tracks.. - and that's only vgm )

Personally, i'll do without a search database.
Locke's website is really awesome, i'll do the "cheap" version ;)

[eViL bAz]

Hey Myrkul I find a good program that can help you the program name is MP3 HTML GENERATOR and you can find the shareware in the next page http://www.iprogramdev.com/soft.php/MP3-HTML-Generator-13544.htm
its easy to use but its very simple and also have the option of put a search engine of the files so hope it can help it.

[Zeugma 440]

Myrkul> Nope, it's possible to get the length of any MP3 automatically, thanks to some libraries. I'm thinking about using a tiny part of bass to retrieve lengths and tags.

eViL bAz> Seems interesting... but the IDE is overwhelmed with buttons and tabs, their "output string" looks real messy when adding a lot of info, and before all, it's not freeware :p

Its search engine relies on a perl script and structured files. Granted, it's way easier to implement than a database but I need to test it for a large amount of files, in order to see if it is really slower than a SQL-based search :wonder: But that's not really where I want to lead this project.


My idea is to generate expandable/collapsible lists that will be included in one big HTML file. One level for the alphabet, the other for the albums (that will be included in the 1st one) :

+A

>-Actraiser
>+Albert Odyssey Gaiden

>>track1 | bitrate | length | ...
>>track2 | bitrate | length | ...
>>...

>-Alundra
>-...

-B
-C
-...

Locke's site in done in PHP, so I suppose there's a database behind all. This implies that he has rights to run PHP and set up a database on his website, which is not always the case for everyone (Yahoo basic hosting plan, anyone ? :D )
With a static page, anybody should be able to host his list without activating anything on his website. The exp/coll catalog is the best idea to keep a clean layout and provide many information, IMO.

[Myrkul]

you said "1 big html" file...

I already know how to expend/collapse links in html..
But it's like you said, it's on the same page if you check the source...

I have generated my list of albums with titles on a single html page, and it takes more than 3 MB (and there's only track titles and file lengths! )
Nobody wants to load such a large file :)

[Zeugma 440]

:wonder: I always forgot that when reaching numbers like 20.000 items, the size becomes a real problem, especially on the internet.

*thinks : how to combine the universality of pure HTML and the lightweight of dynamic output ?*

I believe there is no technological compromise to that problem yet. I'll eventually keep the two solutions available on the software, so that users can decide when to switch from one to the other.

Do you have rights to set up a database system or to run perl scripts on your site, Myrkul ?

[Myrkul]

I don't think so!
But do not worry for me.. until i can do the same as Locke, i ll do it the html way...

I just have to do more than 700 pages ( 1 for each album ) and i'll just copy/paste the tracklists ( this is ready ).
It will be a hard and long job (not so hard if you love the copy/paste method), i am very patient anyway. ;)

[Zeugma 440]

Wow, have fun Myrkul ! :D I'll add this option on the software as well, even if it's a pain in the a** to upload several hundred pages without an FTP (Yahoo basic hosting, anyo*#$ :smash: )

Does anybody have any other suggestion for my software ? Would it be a good idea to make it available both on Linux and Windows (cross-platform compiler or JAVA technology) ?

[Myrkul]

Np, i have all my time :)

You can see a very first try here now:
http://membres.lycos.fr/myrkul/
( sorry for the annoying ads... :bawl: )

For now, there are only "Home / #" and the first album ( 19XX ) for example ;)


I hope that Locke will not mind my inspiration for the "design"...
I must admit green and blue are very effective on a black background :D

[DR_DIOX]

Hello Mr. Locke Cole :)

I have been frequenting RPGamers.net for a few years now. It has always been the best source for game soundtracks http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/smile.gif. Lately it has been hard to find ftp servers that work. anyhow, I am looking for 3 albums, all of which you have, and was wondering if I could grab them from you through IRC or something. I am looking for "Final Fantasy III OST", "Final Fantasy 5 - Dear Friends", and "Final Fantasy Live Concert (Feb 20, 2002)". The person I was grabbing them from went offline with their ftp :/. I am also looking for "Final Fantasy VII Piano Collections", so if anyone has that, it would be forever appreciated http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Hi, i want the Last Blade 2, arranged soundtrack, how can i Setup an FTP?

[Zeugma 440]

Washizuka Keiichiro> There really should be a tutorial for this :p Download a server software such as GuildFTP, Filezilla FTP server or CesarFTP, read the readme, try the tutorials... if you have a problem don't hesitate to ask us, but not in this area ! (there's a FTP help (http://www.rpgamers.info/forumdisplay.php?f=12) zone for this :) )

Myrkul, Kilu, eViL bAz> I'm gonna create a new thread in the game music area concerning the software I was talking about. Thus our conversation won't spoil Locke's thread anymore :D

[eViL bAz]

HEHEHEHE ok :D

[Myrkul]

Ok, No problem! :)


Washizuka Keiichiro: I got the Last Blade 2 AST, just tell me where to upload it :)

[Locke Cole]

Wow, it didn't take long for a mimic of my site :/ Myrkul's is even the same colours and everything, right down to the little check mark folder icon I made.... :)

I was goaling to have something unique, however I guess thats never truely possible once it makes it to the Internet. I pity you for doing all of that by hand though, mine runs off a database (thus the search features), and I could never possibly see myself writing all of that up. If you are looking for a little bit of space to host your list, let me know, and maybe I can be of assistance.

[Myrkul]

Hehe thx for answerign Locke :)

Yeah i know, this is a copy of your website..hmm and you are right, i will change at least the colors of my version :D ( this will be fast, thx the power of "css" )

But for the rest it's very long to do ... i have done 100 browsables albums on a week. Indeed i just found a way yesterday to go faster now (just a new command on the css file i did not know before).


And for the webspace / hosting, that would be greatly appreciated if you could host me or whatever :)
I just got that damn free french webspace with ads... if you got any idea for a better place ( till it's free :evillaugh: ), i am listening :)

[Kilu]

http://rpgn.lintbox.net/hosting/userfiles/Kilu/locke.html
:dance:

[Myrkul]

I did not try that :)

Can anyone be hosted by Locke just registering ? :confused:
Can we upload any files ? ( i have just html pages and jpg pics )
Is there a limit of space ? ( html pages only will do ~ 2 MB )
Can i host my 20 MB of jpg for my little covers too ? ( they are 200x200 px, but there are ~ 500 pics for now )

I really would like to host those pics, if i can have a host on Locke's website i need to know since i'll maybe have to change the source url for pics :)
(i can host just html pages on Locke's website and redirect pics from my website, but need to change the url code for each page i already did :knockedout: )

:D

[Kilu]

There are size limits I suppose, but you can discuss that with Locke.

[Locke Cole]

You know, if you coded your images properly, you wouldn't need to change anything. You should use relative source pointing, not putting the whole url in the code :p Something like /images/weee.jpg :)

As for the hosting system, I'm sure we can arrange something. You'll need to signup first off :p

http://rpgn.lintbox.net/hosting/

[Myrkul]

That's what i mean Locke :)
I just asked that if you could "not" take my pics.

For now the url code is: images/xxx.jpg
But when you redirect image from another website you have to enter the full url path no? :)


Indeed, i'm going to register now :)

[Locke Cole]

Your account has been approved, and has been granted a quota of 20MB. If you do end up needing more, we'll see what I can do :)

[Myrkul]

Hey that's very nice, thx you :)

Hmm indeed i think i will not host my pics on your server, since it will take much space and i can't mobilise your server just for me ;)

A cover "preview" or picture.. is a nice idea but it takes much space.
In fact there's already 20 mb of pics for 500 albums, i think it will grow to 30 easily for 700..

That's not a problem to host my pics from the other website :)
Just let me know if you can allow me more space but i don't want to abuse you.

I'm not the lonely one that thinks it's a cool idea. I wish you had done the same on your website :)
Maybe we can share pics for both or something..

[Washizuka Keiichiro]

Myrkul, Thanks!

How can i access to your server?
I watched your page, and i have LeechFTP.
or which server are you?

[Goshi3156]

Hey Locke Cole I'm not sure if you do requests but anyway I'm looking for the Goemon's Great Adventure OST and you do have it in your rather large list of soundtracks so I was wondering if yu can send over through FTP, IRC or whatever.

[mehdan]

[Yume]

Good Lord! Such a variety of rares http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/knockedout.gif May I ask for both of your Secret of the Stars Albums? I searched them for long time and never found them anywhere else :)
I've got a FTP Mirror page on forums. There's all the data about my FTP written. So if you get some upload stream/time to spare... I'd appreciate it, really! :D

[Kyorus Braveheart]

Dear Locke Cole:

I am new in this forum and I reached it because I can't SIMPLY FIND THE DAMN SOUNDTRACK OF DEWPRISM/THREADS OF FATE elsewhere than here. I have a difficult sittuation: I live on Perú (yeah, the end of the world) so buying anime is like trying to buy wood on Alaska, worst if anime/rpg soundtracks. You see: I have the FTP browser that comes with DAP (Download Accelerator). If I were to ask you for uploading the Dewprism OST to a Mirror Server, would be there a problem if I use this FTP browser or not? If I can use it, I will be glad to know from which server I can download it. Thank you so much for reading my request.

[Zeugma 440]

You haven't searched well enough, Kyorus :p The Threads of Fate soundtrack has been ripped to PSF format last year and is publicly available in
Zophar's Domain (http://www.zophar.net/psf/) since then.

Before you ask, you can get the PSF plugin at : PSF Central (http://www.neillcorlett.com/psf/)

[Kurobei]

Hey, I love what your doing with this! Is it possible to request:

Klonoa of the Wind OST
Mystical Ninja 64 OST
Goemon's Great Adventure OST

Thankyou! :)

AIM: kurobeikun

[Kilu]

The Threads of Fate soundtrack has been ripped to PSF format last year and is publicly available in
Zophar's Domain (http://www.zophar.net/psf/) since then.
And I tagged & timed it! :shades:

[mindless_one]

never mind. found what i was looking for on another server

[Kyorus Braveheart]

Locke-san, can you send me the Rhapsody OST by AIM? My screen name is Kyorus. I will be very gratefull if you can do that for me. Thanks.

[94_Gengar]

can I request all the tracks of 'Pocket Monster Anime Sound Collection'?

[Zeugma 440]

Yes you can, but I think poor Locke Cole has been overwhelmed with requests. Be patient, that's an advice ;)

[mangopey]

I want to request this album "Panzer Dragoon Zwei - Alternative Elements"
where are u Locke... we all miss u^____^

[94_Gengar]

yes u r right!
it is hard like this coz customers r more than sellers :)

[Goshi3156]

*Twiddles thumbs*

Still waiting, just to let you know I've sent all the FTP info via PM, which might actually explain why I must wait so long :)

[Triton]

Hello Locke,
I want to request "Alundra OST".
I'll send you a PM with all the FTP info, thanks a lot.
(Sorry for my poor english it's 'cause I'm french)

[Locke Cole]

As posted before in this topic...

No more requests are being taken at this time.


I am working on a solution to allow you guys to get some of my music, but at this time as you can see just from this topic, I am not able to keep up with all of these requests. Some people arn't on AIM when I check, ftps are down, or people ask for 10 albums at a time .. theres lots of things that slow down the process. My forums' private messages folder is practically full. Until I can find another method of doing things, I'm sorry.

[tanisthalon]

Is there any way this can be locked of from posting by anyone else? Pinning it so it stays at the top? And have a big banner as the last post by yourself? For those that don't read the posts and bombard you :(!!!
They may get your message eventually ;).

[eViL bAz]

I agree I dont see that ppl understand that you are full of Petition

[Kilu]

As I said earlier, best way to avoid new requests would be to update the first post accordingly. That's the post the new guys will read, not the last one.

[eViL bAz]

Yeah youre right :D

[94_Gengar]

true! I won't bother my self reading all the requests on the middle, I thought it is all requests...

sorry any way... forget about my request...

many thanks to u :)

maybe u can use kazaa! evry body kan but his files so users can use many servers at the same time

[Goshi3156]

That explains just to much, but I guess I ca't blame you, happens to me all the time sometimes.

[areed003]

Hi. I saw that in your updated database you have Super Battle Sound Attack Soul Edge Arcade-han OST. That's the only album that I need. If you can't give me the whole album, the only song i need is Future Dancin'.
I have AIM.
Let me know :)

[Cloud Strife0268]

Hey Could You Send Me The Kingdom Hearts OST im new so if ur not taking any requests now just do it when ever you have the time my aim s/n is xDaRk Juggalo696

[Leena]

Hi Locke!

Could you please send me the whole Wild Arms Unreleased Tracks? And also could you please send me the whole Wild Arms 3 OST?

If you want to send them on AIM, my screen name is WindwardBirds.

Thanks.

[eViL bAz]

Leena Locke its not sending right now albums, cuz he have a lot of work, But I could send you Wild arms 3 via ICQ or MSN you decide just PM or post it here cya

[Shadowgrim]

I sent u a e-mail before by the name of grimmy not knowing how 2 get stuff from RPGamers. I saw the thread request after I sent the e-mail. I was wondering if u can send me the Capcom Vs. SNK soundtrack. I use AIM and go by the name "Grimmy0100" but I saw ur screen name for AIM on a thread so i save it for the time being. I'm nornally always on and it's always set up 2 just send me stuff so if i'm not in front of the computer at the moment u can just send it thats if u want 2.

Thank You for ur time

[Mr. Ducksworth]

I have a request for Locke...can you AIM me the Tetrisphere soundtrack? I added you to my buddy list (assuming the AIM S/N on your profile is correct), so just send the files to ran020685 and it will automatically accept. Thanks! :)

If Locke is too busy, can someone else provide? :D

[Airgetlamh]

Ooops, nevermind i just found it

[Kistories]

*sniff* so sad right now....I've been endlessly searching for the Lost Eden soundtrack everywhere..and now that I finally found it I cried in joy but then was shot down again cause no more requests taken :( :( That music was so beautiful...

[MkidTrigun]

Locke... Not sure of you're taking any requests...
If not, just skip this next part.

I've been looking for the Megaman OSTs (1-7), and the Super Mario World OST.
If it's not TOO much trouble, I was hoping you could AIM them to me at MkidTrigun.
If not, I'll look elsewhere...


BTW, this site rocks!

[Sobou]

Mkid,

1) Locke isn't taking any requests right now.
2) Get my AIM SN from my profile and add me. I'm able to send you those. :P

[Bastard Blacke]

Hello Sir Locke!

I'm after the Technosoft Volume 10 set. I need to go recheck to see if you have VOL 15 also...

~BB

Also, If there's anything that I have that you might want, they're yours.

***edited*** nevermind lol. just noticed the little "not taking requests" bit right at the beginning.

[A.C.E]

hi locke,I was wondering if I can request Ace Combat Redbook Audio and Ace Combat 1 Direct Audio.I have also PM you.
I'd really appreciate your help.

[lembu]

Hi, I am from Malaysia.
I am one of the fan of Battle Gear racing game series.
Currently the latest verion of BG in Malaysia is BG3.
I would like request for this album: Zuntata, Battle Gear - The Discovery of Roads
http://www.vgmusic.info/Album.php?id=1000&page=Z
Can you bittorrent it to me, please?
In return, I will bt 湾岸ミッドナイト(Wangan Midnight) MAXIMUM TUNE2, in case if you want.

Thank you.

[DarkWyrm]

I really want the Terranigma OST Arranged Album. It would mean great things to me if you could send that to me on AIM or anyhow.

[LinearX]

I'll take care of Darkwyrm's request.

[Zeugma 440]

That's nice indeed, LinearX !! :)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the others, let me remind you that :

1) Locke's mailbox and PM box is crammed with requests. He said a few pages back that he would not take any more requests...

2) There is a thread called 'the request thread' in the Game Music section. If you crave for the one and only soundtrack you've been searching everywhere anywhere and for years (sic), post there, but not here.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

What about doing the same as for Yume's thread here, by the way ? :wonder:
( tell me if I'm wrong, Locke... http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/ponder.gif)

[lembu]

aiks i was blur
thx for your info :)

[LinearX]

Darkwyrm, have you received my private message? That file will be deleted within the next 7 hours.

[Kilu]
