Problem with modding music.cfg

Boris · 11-02-12, 02:05 PM

Hi all,

after a long time away from subsimming I've finally decided to give SH5 another try.
Thanks to all the mods around now (and sober's convenient mod list) I've found a reason to dive back in.

After a long time getting everything working I decided to copy the music files from SH3 and SH4 into the SH5 folder, since I like the previous game soundtracks and give a nice sense of familiarity and nostalgia too.

I knew that I need to edit the music.cfg file and add the extra tracks, since I have edited the music for the previous games before.

I did this, but for some reason this causes the game to hang with a black screen just after the first loading screen, with the start of the menu track looping over and over.

I have double checked the music cfg, but can't seem to find the problem. The curious thing is, that the "MENU.ogg" that plays in the main game menu, isn't even listed in the original music.cfg.
What am I doing wrong?

I've listed my edited music.cfg with the classic Silent Hunter tracks:

Anyone got an idea what's causing the problem?

you also need to edit sh.sdl, game's main sound controller.

You can download TDW's Sh.sdl editor, which helps big time.

Hi Targor, thanks for your reply!

I downloaded TDW editor for sh.sdl as you suggested, but as far as I can tell, the file only controls the game's sound wave file characteristics and none of the *.ogg music files.
Could I be missing something?
