Map Making Question

[XxCynderaxX]

I'm just confused on how to add music to my map. I want to put one certain song in my map, but don't know how to do it. Help anyone?

[Ingredient]

1. Place the .mp3 or .wav music file into the FH sounds folder
2. Remeber the song files name, example SongForNoobs.mp3/.wav
3. Open FH and load your map in Map Maker
4. Type in the name of the song including its format (SongForNoobs.mp3/.wav) into the box called Music (Group or Filename)
5. Save the map and click the "Test" button the default lion should showour up in your map with the song playing

Understand?

Hmm... sorry to hijack the topic but, i was looking at "Music (Group or Filename)". So file or group.... does that mean we can add a playlist file for multiple songs ?

[Ingredient]

No not a playlist i dont think. Theres a tutorial on how to get more than one song on a FH map, ill go search for it now.

EDIT: Found it

Thanks, that's a nice tutorial but it's a workaround which slightly sacrifices the quality of the sound.

I found the proper way to do this ^^

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"

Ah, that seems easy enough. Might give it a go.
