After putting a few wave files from some of my other games in the ..\Game Data\Sounds folder and then editing the sounds.ini file and finding out that it works I have a question

Can we add more entries then the default 10?

For example at the end of my file I have:

;the playlist for background sounds
[soundtracks]
track01="Battlesounds01.WAV"
track02="Battlesounds02.WAV"
track03="AWD_MenuTheme.WAV"
track04="BattleInfScreen01.WAV"
track05="BattleInfScreen02.WAV"
track06="BattleInfScreen03.WAV"
track07="00005004.wav"
track08="00005005.wav"
track09="00005006.wav"
track10="00005007.wav"

Can I add more tracks to the list?

there are 10 spaces for tracks because 10 is the limit.

Cheers

Okay, Thanks Andy. It is cool I found my original SP disks and am trying to figure out how to convert the MEL files to WAV. I love the original SP sound tracks. The 0000xxxx.wav sounds from above are from my CMBO game and the others are from my Gary Grisby's A World At War game. (gotta love the GG music!)

BTW, anyone know about MEL files? I've searched the internet and found not much.

To each his own I guess......we were never in love with it

It's a very arcane sound file system no longer used by anyone I'm aware of . In SP it runs either 22050 hz or 11025 hz. if it sounds wrong at one, try the other. I won't get into the process of making MELS for the game as that's right up there with creating terrain but converting is easy. Just load them into Goldwave and make WAV's from them. It will be

Sound type: RAW
Attributes: PCM 8 bit MONO
rate: either 22050 or 11025

Don thanks for the tips. Interesting take on the music.

"Inspiring" sound tracks get old quick. If I want music while I play the game I'll slip a CD in the tray and listen to what I'm really interested in.
