Music Editing

[Gobalopper]

Would anyone be interested in a help doc that would tell you the basics of changing the music around in Emperor?

Like playing the other House music during the game?

Yes. I'll work on it if and when I have time.

Draft #1:

----- To Add music to Skirmishes

Example: I want to add "bounce.mp3" to the Atreides Skirmish music

1. Use the Bag tool or RFH editor to add "bounce.mp3" to EmperorDATAMUSICmusic.bag

2. Add the following to CommonMusic.txt in the same directory:

[Atreides13]

Group = Atreides HD

Data = bounce

Title = BouncyTune

Phase = 0

  NB: you will need to change the Data to the filename, etc.

3. Run Emperor in Skirmish.

Example: I want to add "bounce.mp3" to All Houses' Skirmish music

1. Use the Bag tool or RFH editor to add "bounce.mp3" to EmperorDATAMUSICmusic.bag

2. Add the following to CommonMusic.txt in the same directory:

[Generic1a]

Group = Atreides HD

Data = bounce

Title = BouncyTuneA

Phase = 0

[Generic1h]

Group = Harkonnen HD

Data = bounce

Title = BouncyTuneH

Phase = 0

[Generic1o]

Group = Ordos HD

Data = bounce

Title = BouncyTuneO

Phase = 0

  NB: you will need to change the Data to the filename, etc.

3. Run Emperor in Skirmish.

----- To Add music to Campaigns

Example: I want to add "bounce.mp3" to the Atreides Skirmish music, so that it will be played from mission 5 onwards.

1. Use the Bag tool or RFH editor to add "bounce.mp3" to EmperorDATAMUSICmusic.bag

2. Add the following to the end of AtreidesMusic.txt in the same directory:

[sectionDefaults]

Group = Atreides HD

[Atreides13]

Group = Atreides HD

Data = bounce

Title = BouncyTune

Phase = 5

  NB: you will need to change the Data to the filename, and Phase to the mission at which the mp3 will be first played.

3. Run Emperor in Campaign.

Looks good so far, my only suggestion would be to add some images maybe. Not required but would probably be helpful for some people.
