How to add your own music

[wlesmana]

I don't know what you people did but I just made my Romans march to the tune of "Ready to Go" by Republica and massacring Carthaginians under "It's A Beautiful World" by Louis Armstrong. This is in 1.5.

Of course, I'm assuming you all follow my instructions and not make up your own.

I have not got the clue why this is all happening.Before patch1.3 I could replace tracks the way you described.

Same here. I'm gonna try to mess around with an older version of RTW today and see if I cannot just magically transfer the music over to a newer version of Rome or BI.

I have the same problem, anyone have an answer on how to solve?

I have followed the guide and renamed events.dat, added a music folder in SOUNDS, put my mp3's into it, gone into descr_sounds_music.txt and put into the command lines the names of the mp3's from my music folder, and it worked! The music i want is now in the game, but the problem is, no other music works anymore.

The original music will not play. All i added was some battle music, and it works perfectly, but the campaign music, victory/defeat music doesn't work, nothing else works except for the ones i changed. Wtf is up with that?

[KonstantinosXI]

it works also in BI....you have only to add also the event.dat file in bi/data/sounds

Tried everything once again but it simply does NOT work for me.I can get to work in the old style: extract/rename/repack
