Title: Adding music to a map?
Post by: Willowleap on November 02, 2013, 12:52:30 pm
Hi, I have read instructions, I put the music file I want in the 'sounds' folder, but when it says to open up the music.cfg in the main FH folder - I dont have one?
Im really confused if I red  it wrong, or if I just simply dont have one :S
Somebody help?

Also, after everything is done, for future reference when you put the music name in the FH map maker to you add .mp3 or just the name?
Sorry im so bad at explainin!  :'(

Where did you learn to add sounds/music?
I would recomend Red's tutorial:

Just watch this and maybe it gets clearer to you.

Where did you look for it? on what folder?
The .cfg file is on feralheart main folder.
Edit: Don't forget to double check.

Everyone's Feralheart game works using certain files. The .cfg file, in this case, controls how things either show up it how they work. In the main Feralheart folder, they are usually named like this:

music.cfg
items.cfg
markings.cfg

Also, if your Feralheart still plays music in other maps, like Ficho and Fluorite, then you do have the music .cfg file.. To check, go into C: > Feralheart and they should either look like a notepad or a piece of paper.

If you need to add music to maps later, here's some instructions:

Easier way:

1) Open music.cfg in the installation folder

2) at the end add [groupname] followed by path to files.

example:

music.cfg contains:
Code: [Select]
[Title]
media/music/title.mp3
[Plains]
media/music/plains1.mp3
media/music/plains2.mp3
media/music/plains3.mp3
[Caves]
media/music/caves1.mp3
media/music/caves2.mp3
To add my music i change it to:

Code: [Select]
[Title]
media/music/title.mp3
[Plains]
media/music/plains1.mp3
media/music/plains2.mp3
media/music/plains3.mp3
[Caves]
media/music/caves1.mp3
media/music/caves2.mp3
[MyMusic]
media/music/peaceful.mp3
media/music/danger.mp3


3) And in the map editor instead of filename, write "MyMusic"
