Ok, I've read the threads I could find on this topic but I still have some questions. :D

First of all, are we limited to only using filenames that are already in use? (By "already in use", I mean the default ones that are already in there). Is it not possible to change the list in a music.txt file to include whatever file name your wanting to add? I'd really like to add music, not merely replace the default music. I'd like to have a mixture of the two.

For example, let's say you added the file welcome2thejungle.mp3 in one of the music folders. Could you not add that file name to the playlist in the corresponding music.txt file?

Also, regarding the music.txt files, all I really want to mod is the music in the modern era for a normal user-created game (i.e. not a scenario). After all, that is where I end up spending most of the game. Where is the music.txt if all I want to mod is that era? I see music.txt's for all the scenarios but I am not seeing it for just the normal era's.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can offer any tips.

Regards,
Chad

Can't offer you any pointers, but if you have found a way to add new tracks to the music, I'd like to know too. :)

For example, let's say you added the file welcome2thejungle.mp3 in one of the music folders. Could you not add that file name to the playlist in the corresponding music.txt file?

Yes you can add the file in on the text. I have done it, but make sure you place it in the music folder you told it to be in. But....But; you HAVE to slow the music down to half it's normal play speed. Cuz Civ plays it 2times fast. I have Welcome to the jungle.mp3 on my game but I had to slow it down, which made the file larger.

So any more questions? :)

One more thing if everything is installed on default the sound file should be located here:
C:\Program Files\Infogrames Interactive\Civilization III\Conquests\sounds

And the text file is in the text folder.
Have a crack at it.

So any more questions? :)


I notice in the main game that the music playing depends upon which era it currently is. Is there some way in the music.txt to specify which era[s] they apply to?

Yup look at it in your text file in Civ3 should be where the civilopedia is
