Custom Music

Post by SilPho »

Hi guys,

Just wondering if it's possible to get the game to recognise custom .ogg files so that they play in game. I know I could use an external media player but I like the game to change the music when transitioning to menus.

Other searches online seem to suggest putting the .ogg files into "ManiaPlanet\Account\Media\Musics", but this doesn't appear to work. Maybe there's a certain folder structure to it or maybe it just doesn't work.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Many thanks!

Hello
start the game when the box appears saying Play / Configure /Help /Exit. click on HELP
Next box click on Custom data , click on convert music, at that point find the ogg file "lets say you have it on your desktop" then click it, the game automatic changes it to the game file "mux" and drops the music into the music folder for you.

if this is what you mean ?

you quoted "so that they play in game", you mean in a map ? if so then you must make that map to add the music file you converted like above.
you can also change the music in the menus but thats pointless tbh, tried it and hated it, soon changed back to nadeos

Thank you! I didn't realise the .mux converter was hidden away in the Help menu, of all places. You also helped me find the right folder to put everything in.

The game doesn't seem to pick up .mux files in the Menu folder, so it's not working in the menus, but it's working great when playing the campaign tracks.

Thanks again :D

How can I do that? Does it affect the ambient music that plays when selecting a titlepack in the Maniaplanet Hub? Does it only play it as menu music for every titlepack or specific titlepacks, like I don't get it.
