swap out sound files (Boombox)

[gamingglen]

I would like to change the music files some (not into techno), especially for the Boombox. 

 

1) Any "easy" way to do it? (never messed with such before)

2) Suggestion: add dynamic music options within the game (even if only for the Boombox).

I don't have the link handy, but there's a guide to slash commands that covers something simpler. I think it boils down to:

 

/boombox 1 (whatever the music is)

/boombox 2 (something different)

etc

This isn't too hard to do once you dip your toes and get the folders in place. Grab yourself Audacity https://www.audacityteam.org/ and convert any music track to a .ogg file, if you wanna add an extra touch to it slap the "telephone" effect on the audio within the equalize options.

 

Then name the .ogg file to any of these to replace a song:

 

Track1_loop.ogg

Track10_loop.ogg

Track11_loop.ogg

Track12_loop.ogg

Track13_loop.ogg

Track14_loop.ogg

Track15_loop.ogg

Track16_loop.ogg

Track17_loop.ogg

Track18_loop.ogg

Track19_loop.ogg

Track2_loop.ogg

Track20_loop.ogg

Track21_loop.ogg

Track22_loop.ogg

Track23_loop.ogg

Track24_loop.ogg

Track25_loop.ogg

Track3_loop.ogg

Track4_loop.ogg

Track5_loop.ogg

Track7_loop.ogg

Track6_loop.ogg

Track8_loop.ogg

Track9_loop.ogg

 

Create a series folders in your City of Heroes directory "Data\Sound\Ogg\BoomBox" and toss the converted song into the BoomBox folder. After that you gotta figure out which song was replaced by going through each one. You don't need to reboot the game whenever you change or add a file.
