Need help adding custom music

[Omen101 0]

Hey, ive made my custom song into a description.ext file but im stumped on where to put it and how to activate it and make it play ingame ive tried searching for this but couldnt find anything. Thx in advance

Okay your description.ext should have a code look's like that:

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

{

tracks[]={track01};

class track01

{

name = "track01";

sound[] = {\music\track01.ogg, db+8, 1.0};

};

};

Now in this example in your mission folder you've got a folder called "music" in this folder is the sound file called "track01.ogg"

Now only thing you have to do in game is to create a trigger, select the side which should activate the trigger, set it to activated once or multiple then go to Effects, Music and select the music "track01".

Or you can use it in a script with: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">player say "track01"

Erm...

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

{

tracks[]={track01};

class track01

{

name = "track01";

sound[] = {\music\track01.ogg, db+8, 1.0};

};

};

Make sure you create a subfolder "music" in your mission folder and place the music called "track01.ogg" there.

Thanks man.

But it doesn't work?

I can put my track as a trigger, but it won't play?

There's no sound.

Then there is probably something wrong with the music file itself.

It has to be 128kbps, 16 bit, stereo, Encoding - Constant Bitrate, ogg-file.

For regular sounds like voice samples, event sounds or such use Frequency 44100 hz, 16 bit, mono, Bit Rate in ranges from 80 -

112kbps, ogg-file, constant Bitrate and embedd them with class CfgSounds in the description.ext.
