Custom briefing music?


Springheel

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know how to insert custom music into a timed briefing? The briefing has the lines:

 

// Start the briefing menu music
set "gui::targetmusic" MM_MUSIC_BRIEFING;
resetTime "MainMenuMusicSelect" 0;

 

 

But I don't see where MM_MUSIC_BRIEFING is actually set.

 

Also, on a similar topic, is it possible to play two different sounds during a briefing (aside from ambient music)? I have vocals playing, but would like to play sound effects, but they seem to interrupt each other.

I can't remember the exact file name but wasn't there a TDM base OGG that you could replace that would play as the music in the background. Tdm_objectives maybe?

 

Unless that's the track you're using for the narration lines.

Methinks all you gotta do is to make a custom soundshader that replaces soundshader called

tdm_objectives

{
description "Made by drewb50"
volume 5

looping
sound/ambient/ambience/city_streets02_loop.ogg
}

 

with your own .ogg.

 

That ought to do it.

The official way to do it is to edit the following lines in "guis/mainmenu_custom_defs.gui":

 

// Uncomment this to override the default non-video briefing sound
00431: #undef MM_BRIEFING_SOUND_CMD
00432: #define MM_BRIEFING_SOUND_CMD "music steele_briefing;"
In sound/mymap.sndshd:
//=================================================
// briefing soundtrack
//=================================================
steele_briefing
{
volume -1
looping
sound/ambient/theme.ogg
}
I don't think there's a way to play two briefing sounds simultaneously.

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
