Help replacing Main Menu music WEM file with Wwise

[evanb]

I have identified the Main Menu music file as 879938382.wem.
Located in (...)/Base/Platforms/Windows/Audio.

I want to replace it with Baba Yetu (cliché, I know). I've gotten the MP3 from my Civ4 install and converted it to WAV.

I put it the WAV in a Wwise project and converted it to WEM. Renamed it to the necessary numeric string and copy-pasted it in the folder, while relocating the original elsewhere (and renaming it as a backup).

As you can imagine from my posting here, it didn't work. The game loads but nothing at all plays in the main menu. So I was wondering if someone has better knowledge of the ins and outs of Wwise and WEM files and can tell me how to proceed.

Later Edit: I've also tried doing the whole Wwise project, event, bank thing, creating an ini file and a modinfo file... still no results. Probably doing something wrong.

I didn't change the music of the main menu yet but I would use Lua (like I did in my Portugal mod).

Something like this

    UI.StartStopMenuMusic(false); -- I did not tested this line yet
    UI.PlaySound("your event of play");

I don't know what event in Lua to use thought, tried some and no avail.
