Battle Music

This is where our experts try to teach you the very flexible modding system for our previous release - SOW Gettysburg and its add-ons. It's powerful, but dangerous. Post your tips and your questions.

Sure you can, mod the gui, toolbar, place MP Play and Stop buttons for each selection you have in the Music folder...of your My Music mod. :)

Hi B. Thanks for allowing the thread to meander a bit. :)

I can't see it being done, but I am most often wrong so who knows. Norb is the only one who can tell you for certain. Maybe he will take pity, and write up some miracle code to bring it about, some type of extension of sorts.

The only thing I could think of is what I did to use the IRC chat, and watching movies while playing SOW.

Sorry B, I really wish I knew more.

Well there you have it...Thanks to RebBugler.....You the man!

Quick Question RebBugler: For each song would you have to have a line in the CSV pointing to each MP3, or will it allow you to just play all the songs in the music directory (eg. *.mp3)?

Later!

Click button, play MP3, whether it's one song, or many spliced together into one MP3.

If I had time, I'd do one as a novelty for you guys...maybe Davinci will pick up on this, make some custom music buttons, folks send him MP3's...D luvs Buttons and toolbar stuff. :laugh:

D - is once again side-tracked into adding more buttons.....

If, I find the time, I'll see what I can come up with, but it might be a while!

Hi RebBugler.

Is it possible to link this option to a key in the keyboard.csv by using the above examples?

Cheers.

That would be nice because I'm using this really cool toolbar mod that was done buy some guy who lives out in the boonies in Arkansas and I'd hate to mess it up. :P

Hi B. I am also wondering if that can be done using a key instead of using the toolbar, could you place several mp3's on one line, like this...

playmp3,\,playmp3,1.mp3,2.mp3,3.mp3,etc,etc,

Just wondering...

Good News, Keyboard music via mod works...

My Music Mod

Keyboard:
playmp3:CarminaCharge.mp3 Z playmp3:CarminaCharge.mp3
stopmp3:CarminaCharge.mp3 X stopmp3:CarminaCharge.mp3

I used these letters because I have zoom on my toolbar and I don't chat. Use your own letters preference. You must have two keys for each song...start and end.

BTW, the included example was created for Larry, our in house author...he wanted a passionately intense charge. :woohoo:
