- Importing music to the World Editor?

i've tried a few times to do this, but i can't make it work..

is there something i sould do before importing a music file to the world editor.. or do i need extract the music file to something else then ".mp3" i dunno plz tell

the only music that i can use in the WE is the sounds and music alrdy in the world editor...

what part u cant do?
just import the music go to sound editor add as sound game and go to trigger and order to play music.

 

[Autocons]

well, what is the touble u encountered?

Are u able to import the music file? Just to state it again, go to the Sound Editor, click on imoprt sound and import your music/sound.

Once imported, it should show under a file in the Sound Editor named 'Imported'

From there, if u wanna use it in the triggers, you have to right-click the imported music file and select 'Use as Sound' or 'Use as Music'. I don't know what's the major difference between these 2 but i think one of it is that u can set a custom playlist in the game for which music to play.

Hope i helped.

P.S. As many of the members here would suggest, it is preferably discouraged to import music as it increases the loading time and map size

sry but i alrdy know all of that..
thx anyway though

what the problem is, is that when i have imported the music/sound i want to .. and with the triggers and all

E: Map Initialization

C:
A: Play (???) music

it still wont play.. it says "ERROR" when i try to test the map after importing the music/sound file...

 

[lesson]

can anyone tell what to do then?

 

[BlizzScripts]

could be the size. what size is this?
it could also be:
import; exit WE; re-open; test the music on Sound Editor than try on trigger with both:
Play <> sound
Play <> music

 

[lesson]

hmm.. perhaps.. i'll look into it

but still if anyone knows how to do it then plz tell me...

possibly cant be played at MAP INITIALIZATION. Maybe try turning it on with a trigger that will turn on the music trigger.

Hmmmm... maybe check the bitrate of the music? The worldeditor is weird like that sometimes, it won't let you play some music you imported for no apparant reason. If all else fails, look for a new song xD

hmm.. perhaps

though the WE music/sounds CAN be played with MAP INITIALIZATION.

but perhaps triggering the music/sound with another trigger, might help
