**OFFICIAL T:DS Soundtrack** - NOT The Nightfall Rip

[MysteryDev]

I am an ex-Ion Storm developer. (R.I.P.)

I was telling someone about the T: DS soundtrack and mentioned that the official soundtrack had been released. I did a Google search to find him a link and, to my surprise, couldn't find one.

So I started digging, and soon came to realize that the official soundtrack had not been released as I thought.

However, in the distant past I acquired the soundtrack through developer methods I shall not name, and since it's not available anywhere else I figured I'd post it here.

As the thread title said, this is not the Nightfall rip (though thanks go to Nightfall for putting in the time for such a quality release).

These are the real files, mixed professionally from the game source content.

So without further ado, here is the Official Thief: Deadly Shadows Soundtrack:

http://s42.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2...Z34DP5JCJ9BG6E

That link's only good for 25 downloads, so don't be a punk. Only download it if you're willing to re-up it at YSI or another file-hosting site and share the love. This will only get out there if everyone who downloads it creates new download links for everyone else.

It's going to take a community effort to keep this out there.

Since I don't even know if it's legal for me to post this, I created this phony account and am going to unregister as soon as I make this post. But with 25 downloads, I trust that the music will live on.

As they say in Serenity, you can't stop the signal.

Sticking this thread.

Once these downloads run out, it'll be everyone else's responsibility to make it available through torrents or hosting or whatever. Once I've satisfied myself that TTLG cannot be held liable in any way (which I'm 99% sure of now, but I'm a stickler for things like that) we might even be able to set up some permanent linkage ourselves. Since this OST isn't a commercially-released product, and isn't likely to be released as a commercial thing, I'm happy to consider this relatively kosher for the time being.

I've grabbed my copy. If anyone wants to host it, but isn't one of the lucky 25, I'll happily send it.

Downloading now...

Someone set us up the torrent-bomb, I be seedin'.

[Ben360]

Clicky...

I'll leave the link up until I get one of those friendly reminders about bandwidth.

Edit: I'm out.

Pardon my ignorance, but if this is allowable, could it become available on disc the way DromEd and most FM's are through Komag, only through someone else willing to go through the trouble?

Such as:

...or not?

How is the OST comparing to Nightfall rip? What's the tracklist? Is there some extended or re-mixed versions of themes we listen in the game? I mean that in the game some ambients are too short (Fort Ironwood theme f.e.) to listen them as separate "songs" out of the game.

BTW everyone, I'll see about adding this soundtrack to the Komag DVDs as well.

Here goes an eMule link.

sweet, can't wait to have these on my ipod

[New Horizon]

Too bad Mystery Dev didn't have access to the TDS source code too. That would have been a BIG surprise. If only someone would hear the cries of the community, and post it out there ...somewhere.

[Abysmal]

It's already in heavy rotation on my iPod. For album art, the Eidos site has handily cropped box art shaped in a perfect square:

Eric really is unrivaled

[Schattentänzer]

Thank you, whoever you are, you just made my day.

The South Quarter track was already something like the role model of Thief ambients for me, and now I can listen to it in all its glory.

Thank you.

That sounds like a MEGA release! The soundtrack of TDS was awesome, so thank you very much, on my way already.

[242]

Any simple link so that people could download the OST with a download manager?

I can't download from Rapidshare.de because it doesn't allow to copy the link to my Net Vampyre.

Here's a link for filefront.

Would mission authors be able to include these soundtracks in their missions? Some of them make a good atmosphere for abandoned buildings, and so forth.

They are already part of the game.

Uploaded it to my university account:

edit: link removed. PM if you're still interested.

It's almost 90mb, so I don't know how long I can leave it up here. At least a week or two, I hope - maybe more.

[Komag]

...fair enough.

Maybe you mean Dromed (Thief 2) missions? In that case, I think it would be okay to do that, but it might technically be a no no.

[demagogue]

Who was that masked, mysterious developer?



Awesome news, btw...

[Kaleid]

Great thanks

[Dussander]

Yes that's what I meant.
