Modding music for specific missions

[silencer_pl]

Hello,

I have a question, did something change in the way I should specify in which mission I want different music file to play? I've been using all the time specific rule called Musics where I had just this:

musics:
  - type: LIGHTNINGWAR
    normalization: 1.00

And in another rule for example in base defense I have something like this:

  - type: STR_BASE_DEFENSE
    music:
      - type: LIGHTNINGWAR


Yes I have this file in my UFO/Sound folder because I had it working in the past. But now it's not working. I'm using nightly from 2015-12-27

try putting it in the mod's folder instead?

I tried putting an .ogg file in my mod, define it in the music.rul... And my game stopped playing any music whatsoever.

For reference I just tried this to add a new music and apply it to the Terror Mission and it worked fine:

Code: [Select]

musics:
  - type: LIGHTNINGWAR
alienDeployments:
  - type: STR_TERROR_MISSION
    briefing:
      palette: 2
      music: LIGHTNINGWAR
    music:
      - LIGHTNINGWAR

Many thanks SupSuper, this should be helpful.

EDIT: No, I tried doing the same and it's the same problem: no music works in the game at all.

Is it a recent thing? If so, it may be an OXCE problem.
Also, does it matter where exactly in the mod the file is?

Try putting them under SOUND (top-level subdirectory). I kinda remember this was needed on my system to get cydonias fall working.

Yup, that did it. Thanks!
