Insert own music...

[Magnum66 0]

Kinda new at making missions for OFP.

But had a few questions about inserting my own music into a mission.

1. Can it be done?

2. What file format does it need to be in?

3. and how is it inserted?

Thanks in advance...

OK...

I've converted the sound file to ogg...

I've done the notepad thing...

and followed the directions on the tutorial but no luck...nothing. (think the notepad file characters might be wrong, but looks right to me...)

Also, I want this file as background music... so don't need a character to activate it...

Any advise???

thanks in advance

Well, for background music you can set in the activation field for a trigger/Waypoint: 5 fademusic 0.2

5 is the number of seconds that takes the music to fade.

0.2 is the strenght of the music. 1 is normal.

And if you are having problems with adding music, i'll help you. Send your mission folder in a zip to: maarten_bonder@hotmail.com if you want to i'll take a look on it, correct it, try it and tell you whats wrong.

Copy the text in the notepad onto the forum.

At one of the tutorials there was a sample sound mission that I downloaded and installed, it worked good as is.

Then I replaced the song in the exact folder they had the ogg song with my ogg song (Barry Sadler's Ballard of the Green Beret... (great military song))

and then the song wouldn't play...

I'll look into a few things that I think it might be, then if no luck I'll post a follow up request.

Thanks for all your help so far...
