changing music

[chewymeat]

hey can anyone give any help on changing the music contained within generals to mp3s of my own tastes. any help will be greatly obliged

[OllBollen]

one word tells it all... Music.big :D Explore it and you will understand why...

[chewymeat]

i HAVE been looking at the music.big file, the only reason i'm asking now is because i don't understand how to input my own music. where exactly do i have to place my mp3s and how do i get them to be understood as music files by the game

[ssanzing]

Musics are triggered by multiplayer.scb :(

[chewymeat]

does that mean it is going to be difficult to get my music in then?

[Phoib]

Well, let me put it like this, the easiest way to get your own music in Generals is to download this (http://classic.winamp.com/download/;$sessionid$5BYGA24G5DDSFTN24UYBCZA) program, and run it with Generals

:p

; FILE: Music.ini /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
; This INI file holds all our music tracks
; /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

MusicTrack Track1
Filename = USA_09.mp3
End

MusicTrack Track2
Filename = GLA_09.mp3
End

Thats the beginning of Music.ini. Add (or modify) one of them in the ini.big file, after adding your mp3 to the music.big file. It should work.

[SidSuicide]

Nah never :)

[chewymeat]

What .big editing program do u use?

[chewymeat]

i used xcc. jus extracted the music inis, edited them to my needs placed them in the data/ini folder and placed the correct mp3s in the data/audio/tracks folder

[chewymeat]

sorry for the double post but i thought i should give credit where due because so far ini editing ive done, including the the music inis, has been greatly helped by Phoib's ini research guide.

so Phoib, CHEERS :)
