Changing music in MTW

[YunDog]

Sorry for starting a thread about this - I tried sticking it onto the end of a thread in the STW forum but didnt get much joy

I implemented Eat Cold Steel's recommended modifications to the playlist file but I have some more questions regarding the music - so if anyone has any answers please feel free

heres what I did

I couldnt find the shogun music files on the disks, and I no longer have it installed.

Q1.Does anyone know where these STW music files can be found either on the install or disk?

So I went to the TW website and downloaded some of the music MP3s from there. I also copied the Mongol ones from the MI disk they were in .ogg format.

I downloaded a converted and converted all the files to .wav files (they get quite large in .wav format)

I then copied them into the music directory as per the instructions from the other thread (special thx to ECS). I changed the playlist file accordingly - at first I had a problem because I just added the shogun music and did not add the //custom 2 and 3 slots after it. ( I intend to now add mongol music in custom slot 2)

Then I went to Baroccas STW beta 5 startpos file and found the [setfaction music] lines and changed them to be 3 instead of 1, should I add the mongol music this will be tagged as 4 for the mongols. (0=arabic, 1=euro, 2=viking, 3,4,5 custom slots)

started a battle and as soon as the men started moving those old loved sounds of japanese feudal warfare came flooding back.

Problems http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/dizzy.gif

at the battle startup (setup screens) it seems to still have mtw music - it must be set as default somewhere - so the shogun tension music I didnt hear but it was late and I was rushing to see if any music worked.

Q2. does anyone know where/how to change the startup music for the battlemaps? (at the moment the tension music doesnt work)

the files I downloaded from .com didnt have anything marked as mobilise music - so I used the mongol mobilise music

Q3.does anyone remember what music was used for mobilising in shogun and where can I find it ( it may be called tension or battle in the files I downloaded)

At the end of the battle - I didnt get the win or lose music - Q4. anyone know why the win lose music doesnt work?

I noticed that there were music files called Mongol stratmap or something like that

Q5.is it possible to change the stratmap music - if so does anyone know where this is, cause its not in the playlist file.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

cheers Shogun/Mongol loyalists

I've added the mongols as a playable faction in my mod, and added the mongol music from shogun. However I have run into the same problems as you, except for Q4. The lose/win music works fine for me. You should take another look at the section with the lose/win music in the text file, because it worked just as the other battlemusic. You have probably just made a minor mistake with a comma or maybe not named the sound files correctly, or something like that.

The other quastions I don't know, but it is a bit strange that the tension music won't work. To change the strategy map music I think you need to replace one of the original files, at least I haven't heard any better solution.

Norseman,
thankyou for your reply, yes you are right I will check the playlist file again, knowing that you have got it working gives me direction to fix this at least.

Thanks
