Thank you for the straightforward tutorial! I got it working after I remembered to delete a SPACEMARK after one my underscores in a few mp3's lol. Silly me. Thanks again!
I just installed medieval 1 music for the romans for SS 6.2 and I'll explain to you what I did. I am a Vista user as well. I did the mod foldered method.
You don't need to download any text files. You already have it here:
Medieval II Total War/mods/stainless_steel_6/data (it's provided upon installtion of SS and subsequent patches if necessary)
here you will find sounds_descr_music.txt (make a back up copy before you edit!)
Now, depending upon what faction you are playing and this took me the longest to figure out (5m I was stoned lol), you are broken up into a couple places. I play as the romans for this camp, so I would find:
southern_european or northern_european if you play another (to find out what region your faction is under look in MTWII/mods/data/world/map/base and here you will see a descrip_faction_regions or something similiar. Open it up and take a look to find your faction.)
Now that we are here I need to find the strategy map sub-portion which is CAMPMAP
here it's usually divided between winter/summer but not this time since the game doesn't get snow that close to the Mediterranean. here is where you want to add/delete or whatever but you MUST MUST MUST be careful and type exactly right.
for example I took (without quotes but for inflection) "Euro Mobilize 1" from medieval 1 and converted it to mp3
I had to rename it to Euro_Mobilize_1 and in the text file you must name it Euro_Moblize_1.mp3 because it's a mp3 file in this case.
Delete what you don't want, and add what you do in terms of the music already listed. Be very careful to not delete "END" or anything like that. It's part of the code.
Now, step out of that folder to go up one, and delete all the .idx and .dat files for SS.
Now, go and restart the game, once you load your camp, you should hear your music!
