Cheers ill try downloading 2morrow. Is it simple enuff to use?

[peter]

rightclick on soundfile (mp3,wma,wav,whatever - codecs dl-able) -> click "convert" -> proceed -> thatÂ's all

[Gooner861]

Downloading it now, will probably take hours though on my connection.

Ive gone bold after pulling all my hair out over this. Dont get me wrong the tut by navy seal is gud but nothing seems to b workin 4 me. WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I ve dun all the things like it says, ie make a description.ext but it doesnt bloddy work. Where does the description.ext go???

[peter]

ok, hereÂ's my first music-experiment:

(you have to place a musicfile named "music.ogg" in the missions music-folder, mine is to big to post here ...)

This is weird i copied a pasted wot was in ur description.ext but nothing worked, mayb my song is 2 large?

[peter]

1. you only need the CfgMusic-part from the description.ext (guess you know that) - the "blink182"-thing is the name displayed at trigger/effects/music
2. you have to make an folder "music" in your missions folder
3. you have to name your file "music.ogg" and put it into the "music"-folder
4. not sure, but i think it wonÂ't work without the "stringtable.csv"-file (even if it does nothing"
5. good luck (it took myself a whole day to figure out how it works)

(by the way: it works for me, so you can put this dedect-mini-test-mission in ur user/missions-folder, put your musicfile in its "music"-folder, rename the musicfile to "music.ogg" and preview the mission in the editor ...)

4. not sure, but i think it wonÂ't work without the "stringtable.csv"-file (even if it does nothing"

I've never used a stringtable fo my own music
So I think you won't need it.

See my attachment (maybe this ones helps)
