'...\SEE\data\audio\tracks\'

It's in the directory you put the files of the S.E.E. mod into.

i found it but i got this
Filename = NoFilename ;Filename with extension
Volume = 50.0 ;Music volume
Type = DEFAULT ; This is a special "default" sound, not really intended to be played
ReverbEffectLevel = 0 ; Default: Music is not reverb'ed
DryLevel = 100 ; Default: Music is not reverb'ed
SubmixSlider = music
End

so its a little bit different or am i just looking in the wrong file ?
im at C:\Users\my pc\AppData\Roaming\My Battle for Middle-earth™ II Files\SEE\data\ini\default

You need to be in '...\SEE\data\ini\music.ini'
It's only the main menu (presumably). Test it.

if done everything you said and i now get the original music from bfme2 main menu but then 2 at the same time :crazed: ?
but i think i know what the problem is i first lookt at the wrong file it whas at SEE/data/ini/default/ and then music and i changed there the track also in to land of shadow.mp3 so i think i have to change it back but i cant remember what there once stood :wink_new:
; FILE: Music.ini /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
; This INI file holds all our music tracks
; /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

MusicTrack DefaultMusicTrack
Filename = The Land Of Shadow.mp3 ;Filename with extension
Volume = 50.0 ;Music volume
Type = DEFAULT ; This is a special "default" sound, not really intended to be played
ReverbEffectLevel = 0 ; Default: Music is not reverb'ed
DryLevel = 100 ; Default: Music is not reverb'ed
SubmixSlider = music
End
do you know what there once stood at the land of shadow.mp3? cuz i cant remember also dus it have to have .mp3 at the end cuz when i look ate properties of the mp3 file of the land of shadow and its callt:
3.14 The Land Of Shadow so do i have to put .mp3 beside it or not :xcahik_: :xcahik_:

Yes, you need it to be .mp3.

Since you are basically beginning to mod, i tell you this, once. Always make a backup copy of the files you change! Then it is easy to change back.
Also, you can add a line in the ini files that begins with ';'. (EA has done it many times). There you can write anything (including a note about what you changed and what was written there before). Like this:

MusicTrack DefaultMusicTrack
  Filename = The Land Of Shadow.mp3;GARBLESTUFF WHATEVER
  Volume = 50.0;Music volume? OF COURSE THIS IS MUSIC VOLUME! HEHE; I CAN WRITE ANYTHING I WANT AFTER ';' !!! :-)
  Type = DEFAULT; This is a special "default" sound, not really intended to be played
  ReverbEffectLevel = 0; Default: Music is not reverb'ed
  DryLevel = 100; Default: Music is not reverb'ed
  SubmixSlider = music
End

So, in order for you not to have to reinstall the whole game, this is what the line said:

Filename = NoFilename ;Filename with extension

And since you can read, the comment after the ';' says 'Filename with extension', and that's what '.mp3' is, a file extension. :wink_new:

Good luck and have fun! :crazed:

First: Here is your code in a more readable form:


CODE

; FILE: Music.ini /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
; This INI file holds all our music tracks
; /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

;CURRENT DEFAULT VOLUME = 50

#define SX_BFME1_VOLUME 51 ;44
#define SX_BFME2_AC_VOLUME 49 ;42
#define SX_BFME2_BA_VOLUME 58 ;50
#define SX_BFME2_EX_VOLUME 53 ;46
#define CD_BA_VOLUME 58 ;50
#define CD_EX_VOLUME 46 ;40
#define CD_AC_VOLUME 46 ;40
#define ROTK_THEATRICAL_AC_VOLUME 52 ;45
#define ROTK_THEATRICAL_BA_VOLUME 64 ;55
#define ROTK_THEATRICAL_DI_VOLUME 64 ;55 ;"discovery" functioning as Explore
#define ROTK_THEATRICAL_EX_VOLUME 58 ;50
#define ROTK_THEATRICAL_LIVING_WORLD_VOLUME 64 ;55

; ------------------------------------ begin LOTR ------------------------------------

MusicTrack Game_Silent
Filename = Silence60.mp3
End

MusicTrack VolumeSampleMusic
Filename = Sx_GE_04.mp3
Volume = SX_BFME1_VOLUME
Control = RANDOMSTART
End

MusicTrack Silence
; use this to play silence.
Type = FAKE ; Don't try to test for location of music tracks using this sound
End

MusicTrack Credits01
Filename = Credits01.mp3
Volume = 60
End

; For ShellLowLOD music
; Same as normal Credits01, but with a fade_on_kill to sound better when transitioning
; to subscreens
MusicTrack CreditsLowLOD01
Filename = Credits01.mp3
Volume = 60
Control = fade_on_kill fade_on_start
End

MusicTrack Shell01 //Changed to the BFME1 ShellMap track! /Naz
Filename = ActionEdit03.mp3 //BaGood13_F09.mp3
Volume = 55
End

;........................ file continues on but i cut it short at this point. Sûl .................................

Second: You should sign in at revora's The3rdAge, so it will be easier to manage and manipulate your posts. :good:

what do i have to change in all this shit blink.gif i just cant find what you descibed

MusicTrack Shell01
  Filename = ActionEdit03.mp3
  Volume = 55
End

??? please help me mellow.gif


Third: You have a hard time reading, right?

It's in the code above, the text you posted and that i removed and then reposted. It's at line 51 and looks exactly like this:

MusicTrack Shell01 //Changed to the BFME1 ShellMap track! /Naz
  Filename = ActionEdit03.mp3 //BaGood13_F09.mp3
  Volume = 55
End

Yes, of course... :p

You should read my posts more carefully. :p

Read again.


:good: Read again. At one point or another you must be able to read what is written, mate! :p

One more thing. It's quite possible that the game cannot read file names that contain a <space> symbol.
In that case i recommend you rename the both the mp3-file as well as the reference in 'music.ini' from 'The Land Of Shadow.mp3' to 'TheLandOfShadow.mp3'.
