Playing music ingame?

[Pierry]

Hello.

 

I'm just wondering if anyone knows how playing music in game works? I mean, can I play a specific track in-game through a command in the console (I'm talking about the original music tracks located in the .pk3 files)?

 

Also if this is possible, is there any way to create a menu in which you could select a track to play?

 

Thanks.

Just type "music folder" in the console. Replace map with the folder you want to play located in the music folder. (e.g. music hoth2)

Oh really cool, thanks but is there a way I could for instance play the action music from a map? I just tried hoth2 as you suggested and it plays the explore track by default.

Yes, just enter the name of the track instead of the folder. So like "music hoth2/hoth_action"

Yeah, I actually did this when I was playing with the command but the console just gives me an error saying the track was not found.

Just to check, did you you use @@eezstreet 's quote or the actual track name? Since in the assets it is called 'hoth2_action'

[Pierry]

Yeah I tried that but unfortunately that didn't do the trick. :/

Oh I pointed it out, you actually have to execute it like this: "music music/hoth2/hoth2_action" to play the action track from the map.

Now does anyone know if it's possible to create some kind of a menu in-game for this?

Thanks.

Yes it's possible. Just need to look at how the MP menu plays music and how to make your own menu based off of the default ones. It can be kind of difficult though. Pretty complicated if you're not comfortable with menu coding or coding of any kind.

Though you'll need to use the stop music command when exiting the menu, otherwise it will continue to play when the menu is closed.

There is a music menu in FM3 Av3 : http://jkhub.org/files/file/1968-fm3av3/

You can get inspiration from it and do your own music menu.

Are you sure the link is right? I'm getting 500 internal server error after opening it...

There was an ingame menu for all the Jedi Academy music files on jk3files
