How do I point to theater-specific music files?

Post by toonces » 2011-03-27 22:59:36

Hello all.
I tried searching for this, but it didn't come up with an answer I can use. I'm trying to figure out how to get ui music to play in a theater. Editing the .tdf file to point to a music folder in the theater folder doesn't seem to work. I'm just not seeing where the music folder is pointed to.

Thanks,
Toonces

take Taiwan theater for example,

in Taiwan theater folder, there's a taiwan.tdf, open it with wordpad.
==========================================
# where the terrain data is
terraindir Theaters\Taiwan\terrdata

# where art is loaded from
artdir Theaters\Taiwan\art

# movies
moviedir Theaters\Taiwan

# uisounds
#uisounddir sounds
<= put your new music in a sounds folder.

# default objects
objectdir Theaters\Taiwan\terrdata\objects

That's not how you do it. I've sliced and diced the .tdf file a million ways and that's not it.

I think I found out how to do it...I'm 50% there. Once I get 100% I will post the solution here. Stay tuned.

There are two files that can be placed into the Theaters/Yourtheater/art/main folder: soundids.id and soundrc.irc. I took a working copy of each and edited the lines that point to the music folder in theaters/yourtheater/music and there you have it- working music files.

It didn't occur to me to look in the art folder for sound/music files.
