Music and campaigns

[seanver]

Is it possible to make a music file common to a whole campaign to be able to play it in several missions from just one file?

[Black_Feather]

yeah define the music in you campaigns description.ext and put the file in the campaigns music directory instead of the missions.

tried but i doesn't work. I have the song in \campaign'sname\music directory and in description.ext i put:

class CfgMusic
{

tracks[]= {Musica01};

class Musica01
{

name = "Musica01";
sound[] = {\Music\01.ogg, db+0, 1.0};
};
};

When I try to play the music in a cutscene, with a script with playmusic "Music01", it won't play. Nor I get a message error, like file not found. The music played perfectly when I tried it in the editor so there's nothing wrong with the file.

ok put the music file here

\campaignname\DtaExt\music

and it will work

That didn't work. I was making the first phase of my campaign so I didn't try it. But it doesn't work. Do I have to do anything special?

[seanver]

Oops now it works. The syntax is:

Code: [Select]

class CfgMusic
{

tracks[]= {Musica01};

class Musica01
{

name = "Musica01";
sound[] = {\Music\01.ogg, db+0, 1.0};
};
};


and i was trying to put:

class CfgMusic
{

tracks[]= {Musica01};

class Musica01
{

name = "Musica01";
sound[] = {dtaext\Music\01.ogg, db+0, 1.0};
};
};
