Adding (not changing) music

[BlackEagle]

Hi, I got a bit curious considering that only 2 songs for each faction are available in skirmish, whether or not the rest could be added. I know its possible to change the songs by simply changing the data and title, but I was wondering if there's a way to actually add more songs - for example

 

This would be an existing thing inside the music code

 

[Atreides1]

Group = Atreides HD

Data = (AT01)The_War_Begins

Title = The War Begins

Phase = 0

 

There's also one for track 7, or Atreides7. You can change them by changing the data and title to the song you want once they're imported, but...

If you add one entirely new with a different number, such as

 

[Atreides2]

Group = Atreides HD

Data = (AT02)Sand_Excursion

Title = Sand Excursion

Phase = 0

 

Then it never plays. The default songs still play, or if you replace the existing songs with those ones then whatever is set plays, but adding new songs to have 3 or more just doesn't work. Anyone know how to add more songs so I could put the entire soundtrack for each house into skirmish? (Yes, I have a new .bag file with all the songs from the disc on it now on HD)

It is my understanding that the number of music tracks that play in skirmish/multiplayer mode was limited because of technical considerations, but I may very well be wrong on this.

Sorry for bad English, I use Google translator. I have added music tracks for multiplayer.

Music.bag

Replaced 6 standard tracks and added 18 tracks Megadeth. If you want to add these music tracks - need to move files into a folder with the game by agreeing to replace.

P.S. I am a fan of Megadeth
