How do I add music to a map?

[Delrahn]

How do I add music like Clones or the TF theme in a map like Matthead did with DM_Skybase? I've looked pretty much everywhere, but no matter what I do, I can't get a song to play, only sounds...will someone please help me?

This tutorial was on the killing floor site

kfmod.php?page=tutorial-m1

The RC site and the KF site are soon to be merged.

Level Properties > BattleEngine > Battlemusic

Is how Matthead set his.

You could use the music trigger as well, if you wanted it to change depending on where the player is.

Music in Killing Floor is handeled alot different than in RC.

I put the music in battlemusic before, and I did it again, but no music is playing.

once again this is a difficult task use a music trigger

I figured this out (a while a go)thanks to a friend, I thought it was more complicated, as things in UnrealEd seem complictaed to do things, so I overlooked the most simple and obvious way to add music to your map. You all probably know how to do this by now. Sorry to waste your time. Add a sound to a static mesh.

is it possible to add music from your own library. i am working on a map right now and experimenting with it. (and i just love helpfull tips) hint hint ;)

[Delrahn]

I think I heard somewhere that you can by downloading this one music converter thing. I'm not sure if you can without the music converter, I'll try to figure that out because I think that DM_Rhen Var goes well with Side of a Bullet...

since my acter properties still wont open up, (heavy sigh) i am try to still add music to my map through the battlemusic thing but it never playes when I play the map.

I tipe in the exact name of the song   $ASH_Track4_Clones and it exepts it when i hit use but still never plays. :evil:

[Delrahn]

I know... That's why I added music to a static mesh. Try re-installing RC, and just wait for it to install, and don't do anything in the background if that's what you did when installing it.

[speedycheese]

pardon but what do u meen by in the background? and how  do i add music to a static mesh. thanx in advance :D

can i have a link to the music conveter if you know were it is :mrgreen:

[Delrahn]

To add music to a SM: Add a static mesh to your map. Right-click it and go into it's actor properties. there is a bar/ tab thing that is called "sound" click on that. copy what ever sound from rc that you want(in the sound tab), and paste it into the sound thing in the static mesh. Sorry, I'm not very good at giving directions...

[speedycheese]

no, no , thats very helpfull its just that my acter properties doesnt open up but flashes as if it was trying to. still need a fix for that. :cry:    music makes a map so much better.

[frazscotland]

music has to be .ogg file i think so u need convert it first to add !

I'm not so sure. When I export sounds from Unreal, its mp3 format.

EDIT: then again, maybe it takes both.
