Title: The format of FS2's music.tbl
Post by: Admiral LSD on February 21, 2001, 08:09:00 am
OK, please don't flame me for asking such a dumb question but will someone care to explain the format of the music.tbl for me? I want to implement a custom soundtrack in a nano-mod (no custom ships, and only one 'test' mission) I'm working on but initally gave up since I couldn't understand the table format. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the HLP Forums! Rest assured, many of us are here to learn, so you needn't feel stupid.

Anyway, I haven't taken a look at the music table for a long time, but I know Silent Warrior made the Funeral Music Mod, which is available on our mod database. Contact him.

Silent Warrior's email is  [email protected]  - I suspect it is rather old though. I'll see if I can find a more up to date one.

Anyway...editing the music.tbl is trial and error...

I suggest you copy the entries of a standard FS2 song and put your waves in. Then try how it works....if you need help contact me via ICQ: 102573073

This is how most modding starts - tinkering around, seeing what works and what doesn't.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

I'm in  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Music.tbl is still a mystery to me.  The numbers after the song must specify the lenght, but it seems arbitrary almost.

 (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif) Well, now mind you  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif) this could be an obsolete format, but this page ("http://ml.warpcore.org/fdl/199909/msg00034.html") describes the FS1 format, and whut the numbers mean and such...it may be usefull in decyphering the fs2 version...?
