Good question to break your brains on.

Hi all, i started a ww2 campaign and I have one custom music, since i know how to add them to one single mission thats no problem, BUT.

The campaign will be huge if i have to add the mission over and over again into every mission i want to use it in, so here is my question.

Is it possible to put the music in your campaign so that it i don't have to put it in every mission but just in the campaign folder or something?

thanks in advance

 Well... you'll have to have a campaign description.ext for your campaign..

so I dont see why you couldn't define all your music files in that and just refer to them in each individual mission.  

But I've never tried it before

I think you do have to define it in every mission, but its easy enugh just copy and paste the needed lines to make the music run properly

If you were to put the music in an addon then use it from there, that should work.

I have no idea as to whether or not it should have a .cpp file or something, though I doubt it. All you'd really need to do is put the file into a .pbo and get the music from there using the description.ext. Kind of like this:

class CfgMusic
{
    tracks[]={Chant};
   class chant
   {
      name = "Chant";
      sound[] = {MyMusicAddon.pbo\Chant.ogg, db+10, 1.0};
   };
};

You might have to mess around to get it to work (don't know if there should be a "/" before "myMusicAddon" or if it should have ".pbo" as i've not tested).

If that doesn't work, check out TAL's site:

It's basically the same idea...

for this you basically do what u do in a single mission... but in your campaign folder....

make a folder in your campaign folder and create a description.ext that defines the order of all your missions and the lose conditions etc... then also in that description add the music lines and then in the campaign folder create a music folder.

this should work as in a mission... the thing is, the music won't work till u export the campaign folder to single missions and then place it in the campaign file again... then it shoudl work
