Custom Music Help

[Brother Jason 0]

Sorry for the repost, I know this has been discussed before, but I have tried five different step by step tutorials, and have not been able to get music to play in my mission.

I just want to add a few custom songs for the mission's music. Can anyone assist?

 

Many thanks in advance.

Seems legit, but what you have tried so far that doesn't work?

So the 1st and 3rd ones yielded nothing. The 2nd one got me this

 

and this

0 = [] spawn... for starters. If your config is correct it should work after you correct this.

Hmm, that got rid of the error, still no music.
Here's my config.

You are supposed to use class name, not the file name. The class name is
"music1" in that picture. So it should be playMusic ["music1", 1] and not playMusic ["Track01", 1]

Current setup, still not yielding results.

I use it as a sound config so players who have music turned off hear it. Same thing for music but slightly different configs.

Add (in this case) music.ogg to your mission file (copy class music and change it for additional files)

//In description.ext

class CfgSounds {
  class music
     {
          name = "music";
          sound[] = {"music.ogg", db+5, 1}; 
          titles[] = {};
      };
};

//Locally on clients
 

player say2d 'Music';

Thats how I do it for intro scenes, basic and works

Seems ok. Other things to check

1. make sure that the description.ext is just that and not description.ext.txt as some editors can save it this way

2. the ogg files encoded correctly. I would copy and paste arma ogg just to eliminate the possibility of wrong encoding

3. remove first \ from file path so it starts with music not \music

4. make sure files are actually present in folder music which is in mission folder

5. save mission after every description.ext editing, this will refresh it.

6. make sure the music volume is turned up in sound options

Hmm, double checked all of these. Everything looks good.

I'll try this out tomorrow, going to bed for now, I'll get back to you on how it works though.
