Giving a new race unique music

how?

June 23, 2008 7:20:35 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

Well first off I checked the entity file for my race, as I had read something about music in there before, and saw only:

musicThemeData
 musicThemeCount 7
 musicTheme "MUSIC_TEC_THEME_1"
 musicTheme "MUSIC_TEC_QUIET_1"
 musicTheme "MUSIC_TEC_MISC_1"
 musicTheme "MUSIC_TEC_MISC_2"
 musicTheme "MUSIC_BATTLE_7"
 musicTheme "MUSIC_BATTLE_13"
 musicTheme "MUSIC_TROUBLE_4"
 scareThemeCount 2 
 musicTheme "MUSIC_BATTLE_7"
 musicTheme "MUSIC_BATTLE_13"
 announcementCount 1
 musicTheme "MUSIC_TEC_ANNOUNCEMENT"

Is it referencing the sound folder? If so how do you add more songs to it as well as replace the old ones?

To replace the old ones just overwrite them with your new .ogg file into the sound folder. (give them the name of the file being overwritten.)

i didn't try to add more songs but i assume you would add 1 to the theme count that you listed above and put a name like "MUSIC_TROUBLE_99" in the list as an alias and do the same in the Game.musicdata folder. Then goto the SoundMusic.sounddata file and here is where you tie the alias to the file name.

Then add the song to the sound folder.

hope that works.

Hi CanadaMan, seems you work on a big MOD.
Check the SoundMusic.sounddata in GameInfo folder, that file refer to the final sound files.
And, don't worry about ogg format, use mp3 works well too.
Good Luck.

Strange.

Search it again, Canadaman.
The file about 1.70 MB large.
