ingame music!

[hedcrusha 0]

Hi just wondering if theres a script to enable me to add my own music to play through a whole mission changing the track once ones done?

[crashdome 3]

I believe its called Windows Media Player or <Insert your favorite music player here>.

It works wonders.

Yes just run an MP3 player in the background...

if you are creating your own mission you can put it in by scripting and adding the music file somewhere and setting it off by triggers. havent got arma yet and havent scripted in OFP for ages, so i dunno the script...

Change the MP3 into an ogg file.

Put the ogg file in a folder called music in your D:/ArmA Other Profiles/Username/Missions/musictestmission.sara folder.

Place a Description.ext file into the same folder with:

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

{

tracks[]={doyoureallywanttohurtme};

class doyoureallywanttohurtme

{

  name = "doyoureallywanttohurtme";

  sound[] = {"\music\doyoureallywanttohurtme.ogg", db+5, 1.0};

};

};

Open the editor, place a trigger goto effects, tracks and chose your favourite Boy George song in your mission.

Boy George rocks!

well thanks for the help Dallas and Jack-UK.

But Dallas i dont have any boy george!! Will that be a problem to get this working??

LoL...just joshing with you!

Well I guess any other artist will do just fine, probably even better.

@ Dallas, I did what you said and went to effects on the trigger then tracks but it doesnt show my track that i have in there!

Ive gone wrong somewhere!!!!

I use .CHOFPSE, you can make descriptions, briefings, overviews, and much more with great ease. Even though it was made for OFP, it still works well for ArmA.

I tried this using mortar sounds on an invisible IED. The ied went off, but the music file didn't play. I see it in the track list, but it wont play.

I added music to a static or mobile unit, and it sounds like its upfront or faint depending on the db i use, its never positional.

ps all other sounds are ok and working (3d audio position)
