Music Question

How do I make it so that I can play custom music in a level while still hearing explosions and such? Would that require a different channel? If so, how would I cog it?

Gah!

I'd ram your head into a wall if there was one...

Look, all you need to do is save it as a .wav (you might be OK with .mid) and then use it as a background ambient. No cogs needed. You hear everything, just you can't play two at once, unless you got one to make a looping ambient cog, playable in a sector(s) if you want it like that. No, don't ask me. ( cannot cog. At all. Definitely not. No way. No. Not at all. Nuh-uh.

Did I mention no?

BAH! There is absolutly NO WAY IN HELL your going to get a MID to play in JK. Not without an external program.


As for regular ole' wavs, sure, theyll work, but make sure there under 1MB. I dont have the time to write out the cog, but use something like this:


Code: 
Some_message:
Int_channel = Playsoundthing(Music, J_box, 1.0, -1, 50, 0x1);
Stop;


Some_other_message:
Stopsound(Int_channel);
Stop;



That will let you start and stop a looped WAV.

Oh, and Tony, you sure are mad, as the MID files will NOT WORK. Also, I want it to be ambient music that goes with you and changes, NOT SECTOR MUSIC. Thanks for the help, GBK.

The Int channel can be anything; 'Bob', 'Your_mother', 'Lotsa_crap'. It doesnt matter. You just have to spell it right, and predefine it in the symbols section....

You can use 'Sector sounds' for music. LEC did in JK1. Remember the bar, in the first part of 01Narshadda? That music was sector sounds. The volume simply gets lower and lower until its at 0.
