Music Player Mod


(SoapSud) #1

Hello, i’m new here, and i’m also pretty new to coding too!

I was thinking a while back, and thought how great it would be to play and control music tracks through W:ET.

Now, Im pretty sure you can write some code which can play music in C, so I cant see why it can’t be added to the W:ET source so that it can be included as a mod feature for the game.

However though, because I have no proper experience, I havn’t a clue whether what i’m saying will actualy work or not.

so far i’ve found this for music playing function (I know it;s in C#, but i’ll carry on looking to see if I can find it in C) http://www.codeproject.com/cs/media/PlaySounds1.asp

Now, the reason why I have come here. I’m mainly looking for advice about what i need to do to add ETMP3 (the mod’s name) to the existing menus in Wolfesntein, but also how to make Wolfenstein play music for you!

Thanks very much,
Carl.

this is not the first project of its kind there was a similar project just a month or so back that didn’t get anywhere

the main point back then was why go to all the trouble of getting ET to play music tracks when there are already plenty of other programs that will play music tracks for you while you play ET. i don’t think the game or music will be any better just because they are run in the same program

also ET doesn’t support a wide variety of sound formats so there would be lots of work just getting ET to support that file format
