OA Music config, override bis pbo?

[loosebruce 10]

Hey all,

I have been trying to create an add-on that over rides OA's music and replace it with some remixes and old OFP music. I am wanting my music to play during OA missions. However no matter how I lay out the config or folder the OA music seems to take priority. The only way I can get it to work is by deleting the BIS pbo and placing my own one in OA's addons folder.

Here is the location of BIS's music_e.pbo (i want to overwrite):

steamapps\arma 2\expansions\addons\music_e.pbo

Here is the addon @arrowbent (my music addon):

steamapps\arma 2\@arrowbent\expansions\addons\music_e.pbo

The RPT file shows no errors with the addon:

=====================================================================
== C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2\arma2OA.exe
== "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2\arma2OA.exe" -mod=@arrowbent

[size=3]So what I am needing is a way to over ride the ArmA 2 OA "music_e.pbo" and just use my own one. I have seen for some sound addons e.g. CSM there is a way for them to override other sounds pbo's e.g. ACEX_SM. So could this same method be implemented for this and how is it done?[/size]

Thanks!
