Can I Replace the Music in AI War?
« on: February 12, 2010, 10:55:48 pm »
Heyo,

 Me and my brother finally got AI wars today, and we're enjoying it immensly.  However, the music absolutely bugs me (dunno why), is there any way I can replace the music in game with some of my own stuff?

Well, the easy way is to mute the music in the game and play yours with another player :)
Avid League player and apparently back from the dead!

If we weren't going for your money, you wouldn't have gotten as much value for it!

Oh, wait... *causation loop detonates*

Dur,

 One more question, where can I find the network skip option? My bro is on wireless only, and it shows :)

  I think it's control+ +/-. (Hold the control key then press either the plus key or minus key.

EDIT:

the music absolutely bugs me


 are you kidding me? the music is amazing, good variety and entertaining. Though i usually have it stuck in my head all the time when i'm not playing, a different song every day. I know new music was added recently but  i still wish there were more, lol.

(dunno why)


to me a lot of the music reminds me of the old NES (Nintendo) music, a little castlevania, bionic commando, lots of things. it wasn't identical, mind you, but it reminded me of good times. Maybe you never played NES or maybe just didn't like it. Or maybe it just annoys you for reasons  unknown.

It's probably easier to just mute the music and play your own, but if you really want to have the game playing the tracks then I figure you could manage it by renaming the tracks-you-want-playing to the exact path and filename of the music tracks in the following directories:

{game_directory}/Music/
{game_directory}/Music/Ingame
{game_directory}/Expansions/1/Music
{game_directory}/Expansions/1/Music/Ingame

Yeah, I think that's it, just too retro for my tastes...  But that's my fault lol.

Last I heard, you can put whatever oggs you have into the Ingame music directories and the game will play it. It shouldn't rely on specific filenames for tracks in those specific folders.

That's probably true, I didn't check.

Neat!
