Solved Stop Map Music, Play Another Song Command

[Fighter]

Basically, what I'm trying to do is make a music command (serverside) that will stop the current map music, and play a song specified by an admin from the music folder for everyone on the server that will loop. I've managed to add the ability to play sound likes taunts, screams, etc from the sound folder:

However, this won't let me stop the current map music and play a song from the music folder, as when I try to do that, I get an error that the file is stereo.

 

Could someone point me in the right direction on how to stop the current map music and play a stereo sound file for everyone on the server?

 

Thanks.

You need to set the music configstring in order to make it play the music.

trap_SetConfigstring( CS_MUSIC, soundPath );

Best way to check if you're playing music or sound (if you're altering your sound command to play music for each client as well) is to check the beginning of the file name thusly:

if(!Q_stricmpn(soundPath, "sound/", 6)) {

if(!Q_stricmpn(soundPath, "music/", 6)) {
