Adding custom music files

[Emx77]

I'm trying to add some of my own music but I'm not sure how to do it. At the end of file WITESoundFXConfig.txt there is list of music files but I'm not able to figure out what is the function of numbers at end of a line? Some lines at end have 100,1,1 and others just 100. If I have three music wav files (for example: 001-music1.wav, 002-music2.wav, 003-music3.wav) which is correct syntax to use in order to play these three files one after another?

You can just turn off the music volume of the game, fire up iTunes, Windows Media Player or else, and just play your own favorite playlist ? That's what I do. Easier than figuring out how to play music in the game

Yes, that is one solution. Nevertheless, I think it could be more appropriate if we can add favorite playlist to game directory and let the game play it automatically.

The first item below is played in the main menu. The items with 100,1,1 are played at the beginning of the German or Soviet turns as specified (only one piece per turn). Those without the ,1,1 are played after the inital piece is played (for the side specified) and are selected randomly. When one is finished, another is selected.

So there's more than just the one tune I hear during the tutorial? I like that tune, but any music gets old after hearing it nonstop.

Yep, this is what I do (iTunes). I find that Beethoven, Wagner, Tchaikovsky, and Dvorak (with some Russian and German military marches thrown into the mix...."The Sacred War" by the Red Army band is really nice) works really well for a grand game like this.

Oh, for anyone interested, you can download 99 pieces from Beethoven (or most other composers) from Amazon for less than 6 bucks. In some cases less than two bucks. Not bad when you consider you are getting 15-20 hours of music!

In my opinion Kenji Kawai soundtrack for documentary "Apocalypse Second World War" is best soundtrack ever for any wargame.

You can try sample files on this link.

In the 'user preference screen'. You can lower the music volume to zero.
