Music naming convention for Evo Merc?

Post by Sherlock »

Hello!

I've been trying to put custom music into Evochron Mercenary; but have been experiencing some crashes which I think I'll be able to fix using the information already on the forums.

However, I'm confused by one thing which I cannot find a proper answer to.
Take note of this:

musiclevelX-Y.ogg

In the editor kit, it says that Y is the level (1-3), and X is the song in that level (1-100). However, all over the forums people say that X is the level (1-3) and Y is the song in the level (1-100).

Which one is actually correct? o.O


Cheers :)

EDIT:
To fix the crashes, I had to put tracks into the game in groups of 3.
That is, one group would be;
musiclevel1-1.ogg
musiclevel1-2.ogg
musiclevel1-3.ogg
Which would be one track for each level.
The next group would be;
musiclevel2-1.ogg
musiclevel2-2.ogg
musiclevel2-3.ogg
So now there are two tracks for each level.
My problem was I got up to around musiclevel9-1.ogg, and ran out of tracks for musiclevelX-3.ogg, so only had;
musiclevel9-1.ogg
musiclevel9-2.ogg
musiclevel10-1.ogg
musiclevel10-2.ogg
musiclevel11-1.ogg
musiclevel11-2.ogg

This caused the crashes, so I got three new songs to put in for threat level 3.
musiclevel9-3.ogg
musiclevel10-3.ogg
musiclevel11-3.ogg

So if anyone else has issues, I suspect that this will fix them :D

For the expansion (versions 2.X), the former, for earlier versions of the game, the latter. So with the current version, think of it as musiclevel[set]-[threatlevel].ogg
