Well, this is all i know about sounds:

Code:: PlaySound(Sound({Cue = "AMB_Menu_Loop", Bank = "AmbientTest",}))

These sounds are stored in XACT format (Wavebank (.xwb) and soundbank (.xsb))

This means, this sound is stored inside a file named (Bank=) "AmbientTest.xwb" and the sound is named (Cue=) "AMB_Menu_Loop".

If you open the soundbank "AmbientTest.xsb" with an texteditor, you can see what sounds are stored inside "AmbientTest.xwb"
AMB_Menu_Loop
Gen_Fire_Loop
Gen_Fire_Start
Gen_Tree_Crush
AMB_Planet_Rumble_zoom
AMB_SER_OP_Briefing

If you now open the downloaded soundfiles from the old Supremecommander you will also have 2 files. (Wavebank (.xwb) and soundbank (.xsb)

If you open the SC_Music.xsb file (soundbank) you will find only 2 sounds:
Building
Battle

This means, there are no other sounds in there. No Menu-loop !
To replace the menu music you need the menu sound files from the old game.

Maby someone here or on steam can help and send you the 2 files:
AmbientTest.xsb
AmbientTest.xwb
I expect the same filenames for the older gameversion, but maybe i am wrong!

Here is a link to a mod that installs the old Supreme commander music:
https://wiki.faforever.com/index.php?ti ... _Music_Mod

Download the file and unpack it (scmusic.zip).
Inside the zip you will find 3 files:

SC_Music.xsb and SC_Music.xwb are the files for the bank/music data.

SC_Music.scd is a ZIP archivefile.
Rename it from "SC_Music.scd" to "SC_Music.zip".
If you now unpack the SC_Music.zip, you will find the file:
SC_Music\mods\SC_Music\hook\lua\UserMusic.lua

Inside this file you can see how music is organised in the game.

---

If you want to change the music from the menu you could start modifying main.lua and menucommon.lua.
(I only searched for "Menu_Loop" and did not test this!!!)

Code:: main.lua line 232: local ambientSoundHandle = PlaySound(Sound({Cue = "AMB_Menu_Loop", Bank = "AmbientTest",}))

and

Code:: menucommon.lua line 78: ambientSoundHandle = PlaySound(Sound({Cue = "AMB_Menu_Loop", Bank = "AmbientTest",}))
