VLC can convert to .ogg, and VLC is free, so try it out.

VLC?

Re: Lucika's Encyclopedy of Very Basic Questions
Using the SEXP is easier but it's also much less interesting. The loop will be exactly the same every time and won't change depending on the state of the battle.
Karajorma's Freespace FAQ. It's almost like asking me yourself.

I did warn him as much, but I must admit I'm not really skilled in actually making a new soundtrack rather than a looping .ogg - I'd have to ask Darius.

Oh, as long as you've got the length of the soundtrack and remember to use underscores instead of spaces, you'll be fine mate. Yo Lucika if you need any help with it PM me, I've done a lot of music tabling.

Re: Lucika's Encyclopedy of Very Basic Questions
Oooookay, I've managed to do it. :)
Since this is a BoE-sort of mission with no time without action, I feel that the constant war music is quite good.
The only issue is that my music is friggin' quiet.

Another question, in a different sense: I tried to set the ending of capship battles by tweaking with ship hulls. Is this a widely used trick?

I see, I advise against amplifying the music in audacity or whatever, you can crank up the in-game volume for music. Well, I'm not sure, but as long as it's done in a way a player won't notice it, it sounds good.

You need to be really, really careful with that. Friendly and hostile beam fire rates vary between difficulty levels.

I'd advise using SEXPed events and guardians.
