you could just replace the ambient sound files xD


Don't know off top of my head, but they shoudl be in pak1/2 and pakuo2

Are you looking for music that just plays in the background or at specific times or places?

For background music you'll need to create the wav or mp3 file. Make a new folder called sound and in that folder create a new folder called ambient. Everyone has there own way of doing it but this is how I do it.

Place your sound file in the ambient folder. Open your soundloadspecs folder and add this line, yourmapname.csv to it.

In your maps main folder create a soundaliases folder. In that folder create a file, using notepad or similar program, yourmapname.csv that matches the one you put in the soundloadspecs folder. Cut and paste the following code to start the file and change my map name to yours:

,name,name of the alias that is used to play this sound (required)
,sequence,"used to uniquely identify alias entries when more than one sound goes to an alias, used only to catch unwanted duplicates (default = 0)"
,file,the name of the file that contains the sound data (required)
,vol_min,"0 is silent, 1 is full volume (default = 1)"
,vol_max,"0 is silent, 1 is full volume (default = same as vol_min)"
,pitch_min,"1 is normal playback, 2 is twice as fast, 0.5 is half as fast (default = 1)"
,pitch_max,"1 is normal playback, 2 is twice as fast, 0.5 is half as fast (default = same as pitch_min)"
,dist_min,"within this distance in inches, the sound is always full volume (default = 120)"
,dist_max,"outside this distance in inches, the sound is not started.  If left blank or set to 0, the sound will play from any distance.  This does not affect sound volume falloff."
,channel,"auto, menu, weapon, voice, item, body, local, music, announcer (default = auto)"
,type,streamed / loaded (default = loaded)
,probability,weight to use for the weighted probability of playing this sound instead of another sound (default = 1)
,loop,"whether this sound is ""looping"" or ""nonlooping"" (default = ""nonlooping"")"
,masterslave,"if ""master"", this is a master sound.  If a number, then this sound won't exceed this volume whenever any master sound is playing.  If blank, then neither master nor slave."
,loadspec,"space-separated list of which maps should use this alias; eg, ""burnville dawnville"".  If blank, the alias is used on all maps."

name,sequence,file,vol_min,vol_max,pitch_min,pitch_max,dist_min,dist_max,channel,type,probability,loop,masterslave,loadspec,subtitle

null,1,null.wav,,,,,,,,,,,,,

pcgobnamp,,ambient/amb_pcgo_bn.mp3,0.80,,,,,,local,streamed,,looping,,

Everything above this last line gives you options for the sound file, you may not want to mess with this portion just yet.

"pcgonamp" is the name I gave the file in my gsc file, we'll get back to that .
"ambient/amb_pcgo_bn.mp3" points to the sound file in the ambient folder. ambient/ is the folder and amb_pcgo_bn.mp3 is the file name.

looping plays the file over and over again.

Now in you maps gsc file you'll nee this line: ambientPlay("pcgobnamp");

Hope this gets you started anyway.

you are the man thanks

dude i'd kiss you if i could(not really just kidding) , ty very much
