Problems with custom music

Post by cht47 »

Hello,
I have customized EM a bit and it works fine, but I can't change the music. I made a music folder in the games root folder and put music in it. musiclevel1-1.ogg and so on.. but it always plays the default music.. I also loaded a other music pack here from the forum.. but it doesn't play either! So what is wrong? Everything else works..
Do I need a special ogg file? or mp3? (nothing works and they are only 56k - 128.. sometimes 22khz or 44khz, stereo)

thx

Hi and welcome.

You need to have all music in that folder set in groups of 3.
musiclevel1-1.ogg
musiclevel2-1.ogg
musiclevel3-1.ogg

musiclevel1-2.ogg
musiclevel2-2.ogg
musiclevel3-2.ogg

and so on.
You can have up to 100 sets of 3 songs.

Hope this helps!

I customized the music in Legends and the files had to be .wav to work. Don't know if it's the same for Mercenary tho.

I converted the files to .ogg and that worked fine.

Try removing all soundtracks but 3 (1 set) and start from there.
You can't have 10 songs. They must be in sets of 3.

Glad I could help.

You could take any mp3/wav you have and convert it to .ogg (free software, just google it).
