How To Add In Your Own Music To M2TW

**Wígár** · September 17, 2011, 07:11 AM

It wont work for me. It stays as the vanilla music.

Read my posts in this thread, it has everything you want to make it work.

**Derpy Hooves** · October 13, 2011, 03:26 PM

For some reason when I click on the IDX extractor it takes me after a few seconds to youtube. Can someone attach the extractor to a post?

**Ishan** · October 13, 2011, 06:51 PM

It's attached in this post, just edit the file and add music.idx etc files to it also, right now it will only extract SFX dat file.

I managed to have my music played, but now there aren't any sound effects, when I , for instance, choose the campaign.

Here's what I've changed:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; NORTHERN, EASTERN & WESTERN EUROPEAN MUSIC ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

music_type northern_european, eastern_european

;;; FRONTEND

state MUSIC_FRONTEND
event
folder data/sounds/music
Passing_Twilight.mp3
(Euro_Loading_1)_Time_and_Again.mp3
end

And I deleted all the other files containing "sound" in their name. Could this be a reason?

Edit: It was the reason. But which are the files I can delete, and which are those I can't, without deleting some sound effects? And it won't play my music in battle. This is my entry:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; NORTHERN, EASTERN & WESTERN EUROPEAN MUSIC ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

music_type northern_european, eastern_european

;;; FRONTEND

state MUSIC_FRONTEND
event
folder data/sounds/music
Stone_and_Trees.mp3
Passing_Twilight.mp3
end

;;; BAttlE MAP

state MUSIC_BATTLE_TENSION
event
folder data/sounds/music
MarchOfTheOrcs.mp3
Baddies_3.mp3
end

state MUSIC_BATTLE_MOBILIZE
event
folder data/sounds/music
Straight_Into_Ambush.mp3
(Euro_Mobilize_2)_Solenka.mp3
(Euro_Mobilize_3)_This_is_it.mp3

Of course I deleted the events.dat and events.idx. I even deleted music.dat and music.idx.

Make sure you have inserted all the 39 sound text files in your data folder before you insert your own music otherwise some SFX will be missing.

**vercassivelaunos** · October 16, 2011, 10:38 AM

I've got them all in. But it causes a long loading time when starting the mod. Maybe that's because I always deleted the idx and dat files. However, I still have a second problem:

it won't play my music in battle. This is my entry:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; NORTHERN, EASTERN & WESTERN EUROPEAN MUSIC ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

music_type northern_european, eastern_european

;;; FRONTEND

state MUSIC_FRONTEND
event
folder data/sounds/music
Stone_and_Trees.mp3
Passing_Twilight.mp3
end

;;; BAttlE MAP

state MUSIC_BATTLE_TENSION
event
folder data/sounds/music
MarchOfTheOrcs.mp3
Baddies_3.mp3
end

state MUSIC_BATTLE_MOBILIZE
event
folder data/sounds/music
Straight_Into_Ambush.mp3
(Euro_Mobilize_2)_Solenka.mp3
(Euro_Mobilize_3)_This_is_it.mp3

Of course I deleted the events.dat and events.idx. I even deleted music.dat and music.idx.

The spaces matters and the mp3 files lie in between event and end tags.

Code:

		state MUSIC_BATTLE_TENSION
			event 
				folder data/sounds/music
			(Euro_Tension_1)_BladeGrass.mp3
			(Euro_Tension_2)_Call_Of_The_Sheep.mp3
			(Euro_Tension_3)_Fear_Frozen.mp3
			(Euro_Tension_4).mp3
			(Euro_Tension_5).mp3
			(Euro_Tension_6)_Chase.mp3
			(Euro_Tension_7)_The_Reveal.mp3
			(Euro_Tension_8)_Ignosi.mp3
			(Euro_Tension_9)_Grave_Blow.mp3
			(Brittania_Tension)_Ghosts_Of_Loch.mp3
			end
			
		state MUSIC_BATTLE_MOBILIZE
			event
				folder data/sounds/music
			(Euro_Mobilize_1)_Sister_Davul.mp3
			(Euro_Mobilize_2)_Solenka.mp3
			(Euro_Mobilize_3)_This_is_it.mp3
			(Euro_Mobilize_4)_New_Arc_Ascending.mp3
			(Euro_Mobilize_5)_Action.mp3
			(Euro_Mobilize_6).mp3
			(Euro_Mobilize_7).mp3
			(Euro_Mobilize_8).mp3
			(Euro_Mobilize_9)_Feral_Chase.mp3
			(Euro_Mobilize_10)_Tectonic.mp3
			(Euro_Mobilize_11)_We_Got_Trouble.mp3
			end

Try in this way & make sure you place the new mp3 files in folder data/sounds/music folder before you launch the game.

By the way which windows do you have?

**vercassivelaunos** · October 16, 2011, 11:54 AM

I've got Windows 7 professional, 64 bit. My file looks like what you wrote. It just changed the formatting, when I copied it. And I just missed the end tag when I copied.

**Ishan** · October 16, 2011, 12:48 PM

Hmm windows might be doing it then, have you turned off UAC?

**vercassivelaunos** · October 17, 2011, 04:43 AM

No, I didn't

I'll try with UAC turned off.

**Ishan** · October 17, 2011, 11:09 AM

Yes please do otherwise those regenerated files will reach the virtual store folder instead.

**vercassivelaunos** · October 20, 2011, 10:37 AM

But they do regenerate in the right folder. Maybe I turned off UAC a while ago. However, my problem remains. The only problem is the battle music. At least it's the only one by now.

**Ishan** · October 21, 2011, 02:17 AM

Dummy files are created in that case and the original goes to virtual store. Anyways try to rename your mp3 perhaps that might do it.
(Euro_Tension_1)_xyz.mp3 for example.

**vercassivelaunos** · October 21, 2011, 05:50 AM

There are no files generating in the virtual store. And I already renamed the tracks, but it didn't help

**Ishan** · October 21, 2011, 05:56 AM

Are you corresponding your changes with respect to descr_sounds_music_types.txt file also?

Code:

music_type northern_european
	; england faction (see world\maps\base\descr_regions.txt)
   	regions Dublin_Province York_Province Caernarvon_Province Nottingham_Province London_Province

	; denmark
	regions Oslo_Province Stockholm_Province Helsinki_Province Arhus_Province

	; scotland
	regions Inverness_Province Edinburgh_Province

	; hre
	regions Stettin_Province Hamburg_Province Antwerp_Province Magdeburg_Province Frankfurt_Province
	regions Metz_Province Prague_Province Nuremburg_Province Hohenstauffen_Province Vienna_Province
	regions Bern_Province Innsbruck_Province

	; france
	regions Bruges_Province Caen_Province Rheims_Province Rennes_Province Paris_Province
	regions Angers_Province Dijon_Province Bordeaux_Province Toulouse_Province Marseille_Province

	factions england normans denmark scotland hre saxons france

It's pretty self-explanatory, if you know what i mean.

**vercassivelaunos** · October 21, 2011, 09:02 AM

YOU ARE A GENIUS!!!
It works

+rep

**Ishan** · October 21, 2011, 09:38 AM

Glad to help mate!

**Dman1993** · December 05, 2011, 05:15 AM

Sorry, what could cause to disappear all sounds? Music is playing, but no sounds? I have done everything step by step, and yes I have downloaded these 39 music txt files!

**Ishan** · December 05, 2011, 06:50 PM

Which windows are you using? And have you placed all the 39 snd files in the data folder of your mod?
