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: Select all

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


and

Code: Select all

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

ok thank you man ! I will see this

I have found main menu et uia but I dont know how the supreme commander theme is named so I dont know how to remplace the lines of code

Well, this is all i know about sounds:

Code: Select all

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!
