How to use custom music in the game

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I and many of my friends have though about playing music in the game, but still hearing the sound effects. I looked around and found out how to put custom music in the game.

1) Download a free MP3 to OGG Converter off the internet.

2) Navigate to program files or the relative folder where your programs are stored.

3) Locate the folder containing your emergency 4 game.

4) Once in the root directory of the game, navigate to Data > Audio > Soundtracks

5) Use the converter to convert your MP3 or other file that can be converted.

6) Call your file one of the file names below, relative to what you want.

7) Take a backup of the file you are about to replace from the game directory.

8) Move your converted and renamed file into the game directory and overwrite.

Congratulations! You did it. If you need help, please post in this thread. I and others will assist as fast as possible.

I personally have changed the main theme, so when waiting for multi player games, I can listen to my own music. That own music was actually one of the "background_XXXX" files I renamed as I preferred it.

FILE NAMES:


action_short_01 > One of the short and sharp clips that about 30 seconds, normally when an event is about to happen.
action_short_02 > Same type of file as above, simply is a different sound.
action_short_03
action_short_04
action_short_05
action_short_06
action_short_07
action_short_08
background_01 > One of the pieces of music that plays in the background.
background_01_low > A quieter version of the music that plays in the background
background_02 > Same type of file as above, simply is a different sound.
background_02_low > Same type of file as above, simply is a different sound.
background_03
background_03_low
background_04
background_04_low
background_05
background_05_low
background_06
background_06_low
01_maintheme > The main theme that plays on the menu screens. You hear this when waiting to join a multiplayer game too as it is part of the menu.
