v2tec Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 Well, the menu music is not bad - anyway, I would like to change it. Does anybody know which file is played for the menu? I've found a lot of .ogg files in the sound directory (and music). But it seems that none of these files is used for the menu. Maybe the theme is inside an library and not simply to change by swaping files? ________________________ ________ ______ ___ __ _ Win10 64 Pro, i7-6800K 3.4Ghz, 32 GB (DDR4), Asus Aorus 1080 TI WF, TrackIR 5 / RIFT, Thrustmaster Warthog, Fanatec Pedals, 55" oled 4k TV, Modules:A10C, KA-50, Huey, AV-8B, FA-18, F-16, NTTR, Persian Gulf _ __ ___ ____ _____ ______ _______ ____________
NoCarrier Posted November 18, 2012 Posted November 18, 2012 The two sound files that are playing while the main menu (and mission editor) are open are found in the folder ..\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Sounds\EditorMusic. The files with a filename that ends with "In" are the intro sections, while the files that end with "Loop" are the sections that loop continually after the intro has played. You can either replace the P51-D MainMenuIn.ogg and P51-D MainMenuLoop.ogg files that are currently playing with your own music files (making sure you name those the exact same way as the files you're replacing), or you can go into ..\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Sounds\sdef and edit the me_music.sdef file to point to the new files you've added to the EditorMusic folder. I'm not entirely sure what the other settings in the me_music.sdef configuration file do, but I take it that "gain" controls the playback gain of your file, that "streaming" controls whether or not the files are completely loaded into memory, and that "listmode" controls in what manner the listed files are played. To get you started, a month or so ago I've taken the remixed P-51 music ED used for their DCS World trailer and cut them up so they could be looped. Here's the links to both files: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/89052184/P51-D%20MainMenuRemixIn.ogg https://dl.dropbox.com/u/89052184/P51-D%20MainMenuRemixLoop.ogg
