My entry is simply called "Gang On Adventure Again" (implying this music is played in the background every time they have to go on an adventure, lol). I had limited time today so I had to come up with something Enjoy:

It has an old-school rpg feel, I think. Nice. 

 

The song I had in mind is a lot different.

@Lord Valtasar

I got a few questions before I continue working on any possible entry of mine.

What are the minimum and maximum lengths for our entries?

Can an entry be sort of something like a tale with different bits to tell the "events"?

That shouldn't be an issue. As long as it's not over 10 minutes...but let's see what @Lord Valtasar says.

Doesn't work?

Yeah. Tried on Opera, Firefox and Chrome and I'm getting the same error message about it being unavailable because it might have been removed or the user who posted it not having permission to share it to this location.

Strange. I don't know how to post it then.

If you have it in your attatchments, you could try posting it on link form. You know, you click/tap on the menu thingie of top right, then go to Account > My attatchments. Browse the list and when you find it, right click/press hold till context menu comes out and click/tap on copy link/address. Then paste the link and hope it works.

Else you can always try google drive.

Looks like I no longer have access to the main file I would use. I found this though. Dunno if its anything. 6412669058285568.wav

Same error. That makes me think is a permission problem of the section. Kind of something along the lines of common users being unable to download attatchments. My theory comes from the fact thunder must have been able to download it given he pointed out your entry was too short, meaning he could at least check the metadata or the properties of said file. Meaning staff can download attatchments from this area but common users don't have the permission to do so, and that launches the error message.

Maybe they could have a look into said issue.

there is no maximum nor minimum length, and yes, feel free to break it into sub-themes for different parts of your adventure

there is no limit of 10 minutes, it could be a whole score if anyone's up to that, highly unlikely and pretty much too tall a task, but i won't complain

Make sure you have VLC video player. Made a better one.

I was able to download it, so possibly a permission problem

[DJSuits 231]

@Califorum Do you think you could try posting it on YouTube and pasting a link here? YouTube only allows video uploads, but it's not too difficult to slap a picture (such as your profile picture here or some fanart you've made) on it in Movie Maker. Then you just save as a video and upload. Could you try that?

[Jesse Terrence 2,971]

@Califorum perhaps splashee came to the same conclusion as I.

All well, while they fix the issue, if you have a copy of the file and want other users to listen to it but don't want to bother with making an account on any file sharing platform, you could use /mlp/'s anonymous upload system smutty.horse. Drag and drop and then just copy the link they generate and you're good to go. That's what I'm gonna do if I finish my entry in time.

[Splashee 28,606]

@Califorum Don't worry. Your entry is still valid the way it is.

 

It is only sad no one can hear it other than me and @Lord Valtasar (Can he hear it? Just making sure he can).

I can download it, and it plays in any player (since mp3 is so common). As long as it allows us to download from the forum, it should be okay.

yeah, i can listen to it, and i don't see why wouldn't everyone be able to

There's a common factor sir.

Staff users seem to not get the permission error message, while common users get it.

My guess is the permissions of the subforum allow users to add attatchments, but not to open them. Is about someone checking the permissions for the subforum on the admin panel. Still, I don't know if the restriction was set with a purpose.

hmm.. i see, what if it's uploaded somewhere else and you just share a link to there?

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,828]

@Califorum @Splashee @Jesse Terrence 

Perhaps if the attachment isn't working for some...you could upload it to dropbox, if that's okay with @Lord Valtasar. You can play audio within dropbox.

I've never used dropbox before.

Hmmm, what about Google drive?

Probably can. The 30 second file I had made I unfortunately lost for some reason so If I want to make something again I'll have to re-make that. It's a bit demoralizing to have made something I was actually proud of and then it gets lost lol. 

Oh dear...I'm really sorry that happened...it totally sucks...hold on...I think I still may have a copy of the original...

 

EDIT: You're in luck! I got it!

Phew. Thank god. You are referring to the 30 second one? The 8 second one I don't think would cut it. 

Yes sir! It's the 30 second one.

There we go, thank you. What do you think of it? Knowing that you do that sort of thing all the time (I think) and that was my second time doing it.

I'll tell you after the competition is over.

*sweats in 5/4*

OK, so uhh here's the thing...

Spoiler

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Apo0MSL1uil11UyatnTCAjStkUkuWJ46?usp=sharing

I actually have two version of the same exact song because I originally made the entire composition microtonal. I made a second version in standard tuning (labeled 12tet) as a point of comparison, and I can tell that the 12tet version has lost a lot of character being converted. That drive link has both the 31edo version and 12tet version, plus the actual sheet music for extra reference.

You may be hard pressed to find a difference, but you'll know what I mean when you hear the C harmonic 7 supermajor 3 omit 5 chord (or the C7 squeeze chord, as I'm probably gonna call it from now on).

As for the song itself:

• It's only short enough for a smol interlude rather than a long cutscene.
• It's mainly in C mixolydian, with some elements of mixolydian flat 6 mixed in. Dominant 7 chords are described as "engines of harmony", and mixolydian has a I7 chord naturally built in.
• It's also in 5/4 time for extra wonkiness.
• As I mentioned, it's microtonal (except for the version that isn't); specifically 31 equal divisions of the octave, instead of the usual 12 equal divisions.

So, when was the deadline, again?

I feel so excited!

It's the end of March.

That means... like... 11 days?
