See the Ultronomicon article on content management in UQM (http://uqm.stack.nl/wiki/Content_Management) for details.

Anyway, These remix packs are bonus remix packs and I have downloaded the three of them. In these remix packs, includes bonus ditties, which are in the .ogg format and i have an easy time applying it to the game. My problem is: How can I apply other formats, such as .xm, and .mp3 in the game? Can anyone help me? please... Title: Re: What's the remix directory in UQM v0.4.0? Post by: Novus on February 10, 2007, 02:54:21 pm How to install the Precursors' (semi-official) remix packs is described in the article I linked to, so I'll concentrate on how to add music that is not in an UQM add-on package. The best way to do this is probably to create an add-on package: construct a ZIP file with the files you want to replace (with the same filenames and directories as in the original content), rename to .uqm and use as an add-on package.
The tricky part is using music in other formats than MOD and Ogg Vorbis. One approach is to convert the music to Ogg Vorbis, which works for pretty much any music (use your favourite player or sound editor or converter to convert to Ogg Vorbis or to WAV, which you then convert to Ogg Vorbis). The MikMod player used in UQM does support other MOD-style formats, such as FastTracker II, but UQM only looks for MOD files and changing the extension causes UQM to lock up on my system at least. A few small modifications to UQM would probably allow playback of other MOD-like files. Furthermore, UQM is open source, so if you want a new music decoder, you can write one.

You are saying that you cannot apply other music formats in the game besides .ogg and .MOD? Well all I need is a music converters which are available for free download.... :-\
By the way, I remember the location where I downloaded these "extras" bonus packs are... http://sc2.sourceforge.net/downloads.php (http://sc2.sourceforge.net/downloads.php) They have nice music ditties... I hope they add more.... Title: Re: What's the remix directory in UQM v0.4.0? Post by: Novus on February 11, 2007, 02:28:22 pm So.... You are saying that you cannot apply other music formats in the game besides .ogg and .MOD? If you're not a programmer (or can convince someone who is to help you), you're pretty much limited to those.Quote Well all I need is a music converters which are available for free download.... :-\ Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/) does conversion to and from WAV, MP3, Ogg Vorbis and so on (and a lot more). For MOD-like files, try MODPlug Player/Tracker (http://modplug.sourceforge.net/) to convert to WAV. |
