Help with Music and converting to .pk3

[Rozark]

I've read the tutorials on here about music/mapinfo.txt things for maps, but none of them seem to help me. I also want to know how to convert my map/music/map info thing to a .pk3, or if it's possible to keep it as just a .wad. (I'm only doing one map for now, and im sorry that im such a noob and dont get the music tutorial )


EDIT: Also.. how do i delete a certain map from a wad, without deleting the wad itself (theres still a map in it that i want to keep)

Both of these things you can do in SLumpED. Make a new, blank .wad and dump your music in it, then name it whatever you want. Just make sure the tracks are OGG'd so they will loop better and take less space. To delete a map in a .wad, open it with SLumpED and delete said map, then Save All.

A pk3 is filled with folders. The only ones you need is Maps, and Music.


In the Maps folder, put in you map. It should have the .wad extension. It should have a name like map01.wad.

In the Music folder, just put in your music (and make sure that the name of it is less than 9 characters long.).

what about the map info/linking the music to the map?

[TERRORsphere]

I would of thought that you already have mapinfo covered.

I generally have mapinfo outside the folders, and just inside the pk3.

Map loads, but no music plays. I'm using a single slumped wad for the entire thing (if thats possible) so I can just have the .wad file for now and not worry about a .pk3 file. How would i make it so that the music i have (in .ogg format) works?

Be sure to make it so

Code: [Select]

map LEVELCODE "MAPNAME"
{
   next = "LEVELCODEFORNEXTMAP"
   sky1 = "BLACK", 0
   cluster = 1
   music = "MUSICLUMPNAME"
   aircontrol = 0.5
   forcenoskystretch
   clipmidtextures
   }Under Music make it the name of the file for the song you put in, any other problems?

COMPLETE EDIT:
yea.. im still not getting the music... i do have a question though.. can i just send to someone, they put in music, send it back, and i check out how its done/learn from that?

EDIT: solved.

I give this permission to be deleted, if whoever has that power wants to do so.
