Title: in game music
Post by: Vertigo 7 on August 06, 2008, 06:56:08 pm

I know in the .VP files, all of the music formats are in .wav format. Can FS Open support .mp3 or other format for musics? and for the uber silly question, for creating custom missions, how can i set a sound track to be played?

FS Supports WAV and OGG files.  OGG is preferred because it takes up less space.

If you want a sound track to be played, you put it in data/music (usually of a mod) and either use a play-sound-from-file SEXP or add it to the music table.  The music table is only used for full soundtracks and briefing music.
