Want to add your own music to the Allied Force user interface? Such as the Top Gun Soundtrack?
Here is how to do it: In this example we will be making 2 custom songs. One will play for the main interface screen (when you enter game) and one will play during the campaign menu screen (when you are planning a mission, selecting loadout, viewing targets, assigning waypoints, etc) I usually like to use a softer soundtrack for the campaign screen since this is when you are talking to others in multiplayer. (see example lists below) First you will need to find mp3 music you like and convert it to wav format. For this I use Jet Audio which is a free mp3 player and mp3 to wav/ogg converter. You can download it here: www.jetaudio.com Falcon Allied Force uses 22 Khz stereo as the sampling speed. If you do not set the wav format to 22Khz it will sound either too fast or too slow once it is played in game. Once you convert your mp3's to wav format you will need to name them ui2.wav and ui3.wav. We will be using the ui2.wav for the main menu screen and then the ui3.wav for the campaign screen. Once you have picked out the 2 songs you want to have for each of these screens convert them to wav and drop them into the following directory (manually or by setting up JSGME folders): ...\Program Files\Lead Pursuit\Battlefield Operations\music your music folder should now contain: .cvsignore news.wav taps.wav ui1.wav (original interface music file) ui2.wav (your new main menu song) ui3.wav (your new campaign menu song) Now we will be editing your soundrc.irc file. Go to the following directory (or create the folders for your JSGME mod): ...\Program Files\Lead Pursuit\Battlefield Operations\art\main Drag and Drop the soundrc.irc file into any text editor (notepad, etc.) Change the code you see in the soundrc.irc from: Quote:

This will disable your ui1.wav sound file (default Allied Force music) and replace the main menu with ui2.wav and the campaign menu with ui3.wav. You can now swap whatever music you want for ui2.wav and ui3.wav. I use JSGME to pop whatever pair of songs that I want in and out of game as ui2.wav and ui3.wav. (or to switch back to the default Falcon Music still in directory) My music selections I have for now are: Falcon Top Gun Theme Main Screen (ui2.wav): Danger Zone - Kenny Loggins Campaign Map Screen (ui3.wav): Top Gun Anthem - Harold Faltermeyer & Steve Stevens Falcon Dance Theme Main Screen (ui2.wav): Ready Steady Go - Paul Oakenfold Campaign Map Screen (ui3.wav): Madonna - Die Another Day Falcon Alternate Music Theme (Download Here: http://www.shademusicstudios.com/music.html ) Main Screen (ui2.wav): 214th Falcon Main Theme Campaign Screen (ui3.wav): 214th Falcon Campaign Theme Video of 214th Falcon Campaign Theme: JSGME Alternate Music Theme Template (using free music available at above link): http://files.filefront.com/Alternate+Interface+Musicrar/;9029042;/fileinfo.html Last edited by Tikigod; 11-12-07 at 06:32 PM. |
