(Q) How to add custom music to MP maps?

[Aralez]

A music composer did send me some of his music pieces (mp3) files to add to my MP map. So far, so good.

But how do i add them to the map? I know i have to convert them into FDA files and i have to add them in the scarfile of the map. But i simply don't know how to use the Audioeditor and i don't know how to add the FDAs in the scarfile as well.

The current scarfile of my map already includes several objects that appear for different races and even adds two tunnels to the map. The map is as good as finished (only betatests left to do), but i want that map to be something UBER-special! :dance:

Please can anyone help and write a "Custom Music for Dummies" ? Pleeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaase!

That tells you how to create FDA files.

It seems from reading other pages on the wiki that you have to release your map as a mod to be able to play other music. I may be reading this wrong though, so I'll leave the scar bit for somebody else to explain.

Thanks a lot! Hmmm, you seem to be right, from what i've read there is no way except the "Mod" way, too. Oh well :(

I think i'll release the map as is.

Thanks nonetheless.
