As some are aware, I have been working with a few other pinsiders and come up with a pretty cool (I think) sound package for The Big Lebowski. The purpose of this thread is to gather further suggestions moving forward. I am not interested in doing one off versions for different people (way too much work!), but definitely open to feedback from the larger group on potential changes going forward. Everyone has different musical tastes, but hoping we can make further modifications that stay close to the movie/theme...

Also, some shoutouts to some key contributors:

KSP1138 - For the original randomization idea. We used his script as the baseline.
timlah79 - For additional music enhancements, additions, and callouts!
ray-dude - For helping with the distribution and hosting.

PM me. Worst case I can send you a drive that is plug and play.

PM sent

Yeah, not much we can do about that since they are loaded into memory by the DP code. We did add the ability to randomize rug mode songs, Nihilist Showdown, and some callouts though

Shoot me a PM for instructions

This is definitely the most stable this mod has been and most seem happy with it. It is tough since everyone has different musical taste (which I understand), but I am also not interested in customizing images for individuals. So there are really 3 things I have outstanding:

1. The Gambler. Some love it and 1 person keeps messaging me saying they can't stand it. What say you? Should it stay or go? I personally like it, but bias.

2. Grouping. Does it make sense to group songs together? Currently on startup we randomize within each song category (Hotel Calif, Oye Como Va, Run through), but it wouldn't be that hard to group them...e.g. I could re-organized so that all the song #1s played or #2s, etc. on start up. A good example would be to make the original tracks all #1 do that if #1 hit, you would get all three of those songs for that session. OR do we keep as is and everything is a surprise each power up?

3. Any other song swaps? Would love to know!

Thanks!

For sure. Just shoot me a PM. I have a DIY option (free + a couple supplies) if you are willing to invest a few minutes OR I can image it for you.

OK - so based on feedback, I think I am going to leave the latest version (v6) alone for a bit. Played it a lot over the past couple weeks and I am pretty happy with where it is at. Please keep the feedback coming in this thread!

This is going to be soooo cool...stay tuned!

I will let you know. Still a few tweaks left!

OK - version 7 is coming soon. We just started putting this thing through the ringer and will be distributing to a few folks for beta in the next week or so to work out any kinks....

Lots of changes coming. Highlights:

- timlah79 killed it and figured out the Dude Abides wizard mode. He did some amazing work and weaved in Placiere and an instrumental Viva Las Vegas that fits perfectly. He even figured out how to replicate the drugged effect to overlay.

- I downloaded higher quality audio files for a couple songs that weren't the absolute highest quality.

- I re-cut all of the Hotel California and Running through the Jungle tracks so that the intro lengths matched the DP stock lengths. This fixes the issue where the outro would loop and repeat since they were too short.

- Tim added some additional callouts for the "Let's go bowling" ("That creep can roll man")

- Tim added another bowling loop (Tammy)

- Tim added another track to "Female Form" rug mode (Lujon)

- Tim added another track to "See What Happens" (Branded Theme Song)

- I swapped out Babba 'O Riley for Let it Ride (BTO). Babba is a great song, but doesn't fit as nicely.

- I leveled all the songs to be the same volume across the board. This allows a more consistent experience.

- I bumped the music volume to 55% from the stock 40%

There is probably more I missed, but we have been busy. Right now I have the script also randomizing the Dude Abides Wizard music between Stock and Tim's. So on power up, you will get one or the other. This keeps it fresh and fun!

More to come on the release. Big thanks to @timlah79, excellent work!

We are hoping that after this is pushed out, we can let it settle for a bit. Cheers Dudes!

Credit to fossmin on that one. Fits perfectly.

Should - where are you hearing F Bombs?

Ah yes, the callouts. I think the only one is the one you mention "Eh, Fuck it Dude, let's go bowling" and "WTF is up with this guy, who is he?" on the jackpot. I suppose I can just remove those completely. I have no way of knowing when Family Mode is enabled, so better to error on the safe side...

I think for now at least, I am going to leave them in. I have gotten a flurry of PMs asking to leave them and I really don't want to maintain 2 different images...

A video of the music in the Dude Abides…

Played a couple games. Gives an idea of some music.
