Music List

[JumpOnMySword]

Its been awhile since I've been here! Anyways, I was looking through the sound triggers and I saw a set music list type of trigger. My question is: How do I specify a list of songs that I want to play? Thanks a lot for your help. I'm still pretty new at the World Editor so I'm sorry if this is a dumb question.

Ahh, the search option. Works wonders. Thanks a lot. However I cannot yet hear the music playing. To make things simple and not trying to explain things I'll give you what my trigger functions are:

function Trig_MusicList1_Actions takes nothing returns nothing^N
call PlayMusicBJ( "war3mapImported\\01_A_Storm_is_Coming.mp3;war3mapImported\\Enya___Lord_of_the_Rings___The_Council_of_Elrond.mp3;HumanX1.mp3;TragicConfrontation.mp3;BloodElfTheme.mp3" )^N
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_MusicList1 takes nothing returns nothing^N
set gg_trg_MusicList1 = CreateTrigger( )^N
call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_MusicList1, function Trig_MusicList1_Actions )^N
endfunction

^N signifies a new line

When my game begins I am still hearing the normal music. Do I have to somehow disable the default music? Thanks alot!

Edit: When I create a trigger to cause this trigger to run, NO music plays at all. Does that mean there is something wrong with the file name or something along those lines?

if you tried to play any one of the mp3s individually, do they work? i know warcraft3 sometimes complains if the mp3 encoding is dodgy.

Right now I am trying JUST A Storm is coming. It does not play any music at all though, which is kinda good because it's affecting the music in some way! :-D. In your path it has war3imported\\(file) are there supposed to be two \'s? When I import models the path is only 1 \. When I tried to do that with the path and save it, it would give me an error and shut down War3 Editor. I have been playing with it myself trying to fix it myself, but it looks like my attempts are in vain. Any other ideas?

Yes, you need two backslashes there.

I'm assuming the files play fine in winamp right?

A possible longshot, but try converting the mp3s to wave files (use cooledit or goldwave), download a proggie like RazorLame, and then re-encode the files back to mp3.

edit: and also try getting rid of all the underscores in the filenames.
