Modding battlemusic loop points

**compound** · March 29, 2009, 09:24 AM

ok it seems that the data files in the sounds folder have been converted into a binary format, it seems if you open the sounds_events file from the sounds_packed folder in the patch pack with hex workshop..... and open the sound_events_music.csv from the sounds folder with excel or open office, and look at the "loop_start_block" and "loop_end_block" values

search the number in hex workshop as a "float" should take you to the correct number you need to modify..... now download the miles sound tools from this link

http://www.radgametools.com/mssdown.htm

opening your new mp3 with the miles sound player will show you the offset locations in the music track to be able to specify where it loops..... or failing that it seems setting both values to 0 will allow the track to loop in its entirety

enjoy!

nice finds, been looking for it
But would you mind explaining it more step by step, I mean in hex workshop I don't know what to change in sound_events, txs in advance

hopefully this image will explain it a little better

txs, that's much clearer now, but what should I do with those values in hex - set them to 00 or what? I'll try disabling those battle music loops in my music mod

unfortunately I can't give you rep for some reason (i think I've been warned by admin lol), but you can try my classical music mod out

in my sig

God, I hope someone mods the battle music soon. The vanilla music is mind numbing. I wonder if that was done intentionally by CA to make the AI seem smarter.
