How to add music to a map?

[GrendelKhan{TSU}]

hey kacpi...

Welcome to the TSU forums glad ya could make (can I ask how ya found us?)


anyway, great post with some good points and tips. but I gotta disagree with
on some of them.

1. I appreciate you calling TSU a skilled sniper server (and SDA?) ... but TSU and SDA are both first and foremost public servers. Aim at the public. I know for a fact that TSU had big music downloads on some of the maps and those maps also were some of the most popular in all of UTSA!! SDA also loaded with more extras and downloads then almost any serer I know. even for me, who doesn't mind downloads... thinks its overkill. But SDA continues to be the one of the most popular sniper servers around.

the point is:
I don't think people actually care that much (in the end) about downloads on a server. some purists and some "traditional" admin I know will cry bloody murder about it... but even they end up playing on em. if its a popular server too, most of the stuff gets cached aafter the first "annoying" download (most ppl have figured how to do that with map manager or soemthing by now), so they dont' ahve to download again. then bam! best of both worlds.

pugs are the only real exception, imo, everything is kept as clean as possible for the 'competition' sake of things... but pugs have their own issues as well (tons of complaining threads about that).

so everything a give and take...

Personally, I' d rather have a server with people on it all the time with all the bells and whistles than a server that is "super perfect" clean and adminified beauty... but collecting sniper dustballs. but that's just me.

I was mentioning SDA HC above. It's not an open public server. It's passworded and we try to keep the skills there on a decent level

the point is: I don't think people actually care that much (in the end) about downloads on a server.

Ask the non-americans! :P I'm taking about it from my Polish point of view :P

ok am gonna go right now in the tut's sectin here and ty to write one about that

[Woodshed]

Here is something I wrote up a while back to help someone add music.

• Put a Wave file on your Hard Drive.
• open Goldwave – open your wave file in GW. You can edit your wave file if you want it smaller. If you want to use the whole song just do a save asand save your file as a 8 or 16 bit mono wave file.
• open ModPlug Tracker – open your 8/16 bit wave file in MPT. These next few steps you need to do because UT will only play the first 30 seconds of your song otherwise.
• First off when you opened your wave file a new window will opened. This new window has a few tab on it. (General – Patterns – Samples)
• Click on Patterns. You will see a line that looks like - 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 - - - - - - also lower down below where is say channels you will see a line of numbers going up and down. Line 0 will have 5 sets of letters and numbers. Example. C-5 01 A1C C-5 02 --- This line set the pattern for your song. Next you need to highlight and copy the 3rd set – the A1C in this case. Next go back to the line with the 0 and all the 1’s – click on the first 1. Go back down to the numbers going up and down, paste your A1C in the same spot where it came from. The loop pattern for your song is now the whole song.
• Click on the Samples tab. You should see all the peaks and valleys of your song. You should also see a bunch of new tabs to the upper right (music note(play sample) normalize – amplify – upsample – downsample). First you need to downsample your song, this will make your song smaller (give it a few clicks). If you tried to play the song now it will sound very slow. Next you need to normalize your song (you may also need to amplify it) that’s up to you. Then play it, it won’t sound as good as it did but it will sound better in the game. You may need to resample it again if it is still to large.
• After you get it to the size you like you need to do a save as and save it as an IT file (impulse tracker modules) .
• To add it to your map – open the music browser in UED 2.0 – import your song – do a save in the music browser. Open level properties while your in your map click the + audio - make sure your song is highlighted in the music browser – click on song click on use. Save your map. Your done.
