Title: Need help with MUSIC.TBL
Post by: deep_eyes on February 09, 2005, 12:11:17 am
-Already looked up WIKI support, which helped but still confusing.

A. What i need to know is, ok if i want ONE 3minute song to be the ambience song for say soundtrack-X, should i leave only that one "ambience" entry in the soundtrack entry, or would this break the music TBL? Do i also have to keep the same amount of entries per soundtrack? IE: i can drop/delete  BATTLE3 etc?

B. The whole bitrate thing is somewhat confusing still but i get the gist of it. im guess they link each music file to the next via fading thru coding im not familure with. I wanna know how this works cause it may effect a soundtrack im editing for this mod im working on.

A) From looking at the code, it looks like you need every one of the fields as they're kept track of by their order, not their name. Looks like you could but "Foggleddeeegoooddooop:" instead of Ambient 1 and it would still treat it as the same music.

So, yes, you need all the fields.
