Adding your own music?

[Titus Maximius Thongus]

Is it possible to do add your own music to the game?

Have a look in the 'Rome Workshop' section on these forums for a 'how to' - it's so easy even I can do it, got around 60 tracks from various sources for my Roman campaigns that play in random order. Just back up everything you tinker with first - it's a habit well worth getting into.

ok thanks.
When I used to play the SPQR mod I managed to add my own music because the music file was a folder which i could add my own mp3s to. This time it's some CD nero file, so i dont know how to add my own mp3s

i'll have a look at what u said now

It's easy.

Make a folder called Music in your RTW/Data/Sounds folder. Add all the mp3's you like to include in that folder. Make sure to use "_" instead of spaces in the file names for the tracks.

Open descr_sounds_music (located in your RTW/data folder) and edit in the names of the song in your desired position.
Example:

state MUSIC_STRATMAP_SUMMER
event delay 5 volume -40
folder data/sounds/music
Roman_Teaser_By_apple.mp3
In_the_moments_of_Glory.mp3
Dawn_After_Storm.mp3
end

state MUSIC_CAMPAIGN_LOADING
event
folder data/sounds/music
Sunrise_short.mp3
end


state MUSIC_PREBATTLE_SCROLL
event fadeout 0
folder data/sounds/music
Truble.mp3
end

No problems.

hmm i tried what you said. it's the same as what i used to do to add my own music when i played SPQR, but it doesnt seem to work...

O sorry I forgot to say that you need to delete "events.dat" located in your "sounds" folder.

[Titus Maximius Thongus]

ah, now it works
