Adding music In Game

[Rainbow7]

I was able to find some old discussion on this forum about adding music to the game, although it was widely panned. I, personally, would like some appropriate classical music (the quiet is actually disconcerting). Would it be possible to enable a folder in the sounds directory such that if we placed mp3 or wav files in there, they would play in the game?

(by the way, I just got the game yesterday and it seems excellent).

You can just run the Windows Media Player with the music of your choice in the background. I just tried it and it seems to work just fine.

A much easier solution. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thats actually one of the nice things about games these days. They tend to let you keep WMP running behind the scenes without problems and still play the game effects through on top of the music...

Sort of on the same topic. I edited/replaced some of the ingame sounds. I used mostly sounds from CC3 and Western Front to replace some of the small arms and artillary stuff. I like how it turned out, some of the sounds can really make you jump when you're not expecting them.

Maybe I'll wrap them into a zip and call it a sound mod [;)]

If you do, it will be the first sound mod for the series. You'll have written your name into the history books.

[:-] I assume that you would break the EULA of those games mentioned if you redistribute those sounds.

I dont even know what a EULA is. It's just a sound mod I made for myself. Western Front was already in .wav format and I just converted the .sfx to .wav files from cc3 and cc5.

Its only on my pc at the moment, but Im happy to let others try it out. If its a problem I wont, but its not as if Im going to sell it on Ebay or some such thing. Its free love man!

Haha, I know. EULA is the end user license agreement. I don't care if you do it and I don't think anybody is going to sue you, I just thought I bring it up. I was considering doing the same thing with some Battlefield 1942 sounds.

I settled the whole problem by creating a playlist within Media Player with music from Korsun Pocket and TOAW volumes 1 & 2. Thanks for the help! Any other music you would suggest is appropriate for Operation Market Garden?

I use iTunes, but to each his own I guess . . .
