Changing the gramaphone music?

prowler3 · 12-03-08, 09:44 AM

I've searched and read a lot on this subject but still have a few questions.

1. MP3's? I've read here that .OGG files are "more stable"? Do you mean more stable in SH3? What does SH3 use to play the music...or is it using your computer's default player? My untouched Gramaphone folder has an MP3 already in it..."Gramophone1.mp3"...a GWX addition I'm guessing?

2. Is there a limit to the amount of files in the gramaphone file?

3. Is there a size limit for each file? I've read comments about "looping" but once a tune is over I would go on to the next, anyway.

4. Has anyone considered a mod that would add a "real" music player to SH3? "real" as in a CD player like the one that is in the great Grumman Goose addon for Flight Simulator 9. It could be called a gramaphone, but would play whatever music you had stored on your system or in the optical drive. I'm just throwing that out there.

Now...I'm REALLY going to send the reality guru's into a frenzy but...the period music is not my thing. Some of it I like but I had something else in mind...

"Niteprowler" and "Hell...ain't a bad place to be" (AC/DC), for starters. Anything from Rush's Caress of Steel, some Metallica and also the Scorp's and LZ. I think you see where this is going

Don't hate me :p .
