[TUTORIAL] Adding music to your map(s).

[TERRORsphere]

To add music and name your map, you'll need to define a MAPINFO lump.

Adding music to your maps using Windows Explorer (zip/pk3's only)
The first thing you need to do is open up Notepad and paste this template in.

(click to show/hide)

map MM1CUT "Example of a name"
{
   next = "MM1GUT" //If you have multiple maps then you'll need
   sky1 = "AIRSKY", 0 //You can usually leave this if your map using a skybox.
   music = "CUTMUS" //The name of the music goes here, must contain up to 8 characters
   aircontrol = 0.5 //Don't change this. This is normal for MM8BDM.
   }

Now save it as "MAPINFO.txt". Now drag it into your .zip. If it is a .pk3 file then just rename it to become a .zip.

The inside of your zip should look like this


Now just make the .zip a .pk3 by renaming it and you're done.

Use the template that you can find in the previous tutorial.
Save changes and you're done.

WHAT IF YOU HAVE MULTIPLE LEVELS. EXACTLY WHAT DO YOU DO

[Ivory]

Each map has it's own mapinfo inside the wad, each mapinfo would link to the specific song you intended to use.

There is no difference to what DTD posted. You just do it for each map.

map MM1CUT "Example of a name"
{
next = "MM1GUT" //If you have multiple maps then you'll need
sky1 = "AIRSKY", 0 //You can usually leave this if your map using a skybox.
music = "CUTMUS" //The name of the music goes here, must contain up to 8 characters
aircontrol = 0.5 //Don't change this. This is normal for MM8BDM.
}

map MM1GUT "Example of a name"
{
next = "MM1ICE" //If you have multiple maps then you'll need
sky1 = "AIRSKY", 0 //You can usually leave this if your map using a skybox.
music = "GUTMUS" //The name of the music goes here, must contain up to 8 characters
aircontrol = 0.5 //Don't change this. This is normal for MM8BDM.
}

Doesn't the music have to be a specific format? You can't just go and throw any .mp3 in, can you?

[TERRORsphere]

You can but be careful of the filesize.

(Sorry for a late reply)

Some of these aren't supported in Skulltag yet. NSF's for example don't work yet.

I'm still really confused. Can't you do a step by step?

And there's more you havent told us. For instance, how would we make the music work using the MAPINFO text? Do I find a file and put it into the Music folder, then say the name in MAPINFO? And how would we make the Map work in the Maps folder? So confusing!!!

This is one of the most simple things you can do. Please, don't make us shove the info down your throat.

Well, obviously I can't do it, so it's not that simple.

advice:dont double post.you have a edit button


EDIT:when u reached the end of a map pack, do u add next or no?

[Ivory]

Assuming you mean next in the mapinfo, then you just next it back to the first map in the mappack.
