Background music - How to edit

01/12/2008 14:48 gta74#1
The conquer bg (background) music works like this:

There are 8 music files in conquer-folder/sound, called: music.mp3 - music7.mp3.

There is a file in conquer/ini/musicregion.ini. This files specifies which music file is played in a specific region of the game (e.g. in TC). Every regions section is assigned to a map-id and to special region in the map (cords).

Here is one of sections in the musicregion.ini for example:
[MusicRegion001]
Mapid=1002 = plain
Bound_X=345 = Twin City
Bound_Y=210
Bound_CX=185
Bound_CY=243
TitleMusic=sound/music03.mp3 = starting music at this cords, here in Twin City
TitleMusicTime=30 = the amount of time in seconds, the music is playing
Amount=1 = repeating time
Music0=sound/music07.mp3 = the following music file after the title music file has finished
MusicTime0=67 = see above, TitleMusicTime
DelayTime=5 = delay in seconds. After this pause this music restarts
How to change the original music:

MAKE A BACKUP OF ALL FILES, YOU WANT TO CHANGE OR DELETE!

Replace this original files with your own music file (first make a backup!) and rename your files to music.mp3, music01.mp3, music02.mp3....... The filename depends on the region where you want to change the music. Replacing the files will change the music for all regions.

But you'll have to change the ini file, too. Especially the length of the music has to be adjusted (MusicTime0=). Otherwise the music stops after the specified time.

To change the music in a specific region, keeping the rest of the bg music like it is, so this:
  1. Close conquer
  2. copy your mp3 musicfile to conquer/sound. Lets assume your music file is called mymusic.mp3. It plays 121 seconds and you just want to hear it in TC and nowhere else. And you dont want to hear the starting music in TC
  3. open conquer/ini/musicregion.ini
  4. find [MusicRegion001], its simple, its the first entry :D
  5. Change TitleMusic=sound/music03.mp3 to TitleMusic=NULL and TitleMusicTime=3 to TitleMusicTime=0
  6. Change Music0=sound/music07.mp3 to Music0=sound/mymusic.mp3 and MusicTime0=67 to MusicTime0=121
  7. restart conquer

ADDED:
These are the regions, I found out.

1000 = Dessert
1001 = Mystic Castle
1002 = Plain
1011 = Phoenix Castle
1015 = Bird Island
1020 = Ape Mountain
1077 = New Dessert
1212 = Adventure Islands
1214 = Adventure Zone (snakeman, apes)
1216 = Adventure Zone (central map)
