class CfgMusic

{

tracks[] = {Sly and the Family Stone - War (What is it good for)};

// Class definition needed for each music track

class Sly and the Family Stone - War (What is it good for)

{

// Name to display in mission editor

name = "Sly and the Family Stone - War (What is it good for)";

// Music path, volume, pitch

sound[] = {\music\Sly and the Family Stone - War (What is it good for).ogg, db + 0, 1.0};

First of all, just to make it easier re-name your music file to sly.ogg Make sure it's in the subfolder named "music" Then in the mission editor write: PlayMusic "sly" and it should work.

Note that every time you save this description.ext you have to load you mission in the mission editor.

put this in you description.ext instead

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">class CfgMusic

{

tracks[]=

{

sly

};

class sly

{

name = "sly";

sound[] = {\music\sly.ogg, db+0, 1.0};

};

}

It should work. But one thing i did say wrong. It's supposed to be:

PlayMusic "sly"

[SpeedyDonkey 0]

Is it like this?

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">class CfgMusic

{

tracks[]=

{

sound1, sound2

};

class sound1

{

name = "sound1";

sound[] = {\music\sound1.ogg, db+0, 1.0};

};

class sound2

{

name = "sound2";

sound[] = {\music\sound2.ogg, db+0, 1.0};

};

}

I wanted to point out that where is says db+0 you can change the number to adjust the Volume of the track thats playing.

[SpeedyDonkey 0]

but 0 works as a default volume, right?

[i_need_help 0]

now it wont work in mp

[SpeedyDonkey 0]

So you saved it in the mission editor as a multiplayer mission and the music didn't work?

- Did you happen to change the name when saving it?

eg in the editor your mission was saved as horsymap but then when converting you saved it as donkeymap ?

[i_need_help 0]

yes i did:D

[Winters 1]

but 0 works as a default volume, right?

Yes it does

*Edit, i tried to stop this from posting but the ones used had a default of db+1 sorry for the dual postings.

[SpeedyDonkey 0]

well don't  

You Have to convert it as a mpmission with the same name as in the editor.

[Winters 1]

but 0 works as a default volume, right?

The description.ext i started out with had a default of db+1 not sure what will happen if its 0.

[SpeedyDonkey 0]

well 0 seems to work fine as well
