Title: Soundtrack Help
Post by: NFSRacer on November 04, 2008, 03:41:24 pm
Hey, guys!  I know I haven't been on in a while, but that's because of a mod I developing with a personal friend for FS2 SCP/Retail.  The REAL reason I came back on is because I've hit a roadblock; I'm trying to see if I can add a soundtrack to FS2.  The soundtrack (in question) is called "Switchback" by Celldweller...At least, it's a cut-down version of it that I'll try to use in a trailer of the mod.  The problem has to do with the formula that is found in the FreeSpace Wiki's "music.TBL" topic (http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Music.tbl): how do I find the number of measures (NM)? :confused:  Is that the bit rate of the WAV file? :confused: :confused:

Also, about the mod I mentioned, if you like to know what we have in mind, just let me know.  We are in need of help in the development areas.

P.S.:
If you read and respond to an identical topic in the FRED Modding Forum, I appologize for starting the second of the same topic.  I just wasn't sure if that was the right forum.

Please. Don't ask about the same thing in several places. If you're not sure of which is the correct place, just pick one. The thread can be moved later if deemed necessary.

FRED Modding Forum
There is FRED. And FREDding. And modding. But no FRED modding.

OK.  Well, thanks anyways.  As you probably could tell, I'm not much of a forums guy.  Also, "FRED Modding Forum" was my initial guess to the name of the FRED Discussion Forum (which I found was its name), so I apologize for any more confusion.

Set NM to half the length of the track in seconds, say 61.202s = 30.601, and SPM to 4 * SF, say 4 * 22050Hz = 88200. By doing this you state that one measure is 2 seconds long. This leads to a max delay of 2 seconds.
The bitrate is SF.

OK.  Well, why not just call the number of measures "time in seconds"?  That would have made a lot better sence.
