need help with music files

SoulCollector SoulCollector — July 07, 2004
I was wondering if anyone knew how to add music to ur ut2003 map. i have added music to frag by in my map but can only do it in a wave file. this makes the map a hefty download for some. i am wanting to convert it to something the unreal engine will see and play. does anyone know of one out there that will work?. the reason behind this is i am using a redirection server and it never seems to download the .ogg file to the players on the server, so i thought if i put it in the map we could all have music to frag by.

Thanks A Bunch

    Music files are not pushable from your server at this time from my understanding. There's been a lot of discussion and debate over this (for example) and I haven't found an official answer/reasoning as to how or if it can even be done.

    Besides, why would you want to? Most music files are HUGE compared to the compressed map file and would take forever to download internally. Just include your .OGG in the archive and if the person wants to, they can grab the whole archive from Mapraider and not have to download anything at game time :)

    Thanks for the reply on that. i know that the files are huge to download so i am working on that. so far i have got a wav file from 22mb to 2.5mb and it is going in the right direction i hope. i don't like the mono thing but the file sounds like the orignal. you asked why would i want to do this? well i have 2 maps on my server that have music in the map package from other mappers and these seem to be the most played maps i got out of over 500. when i am playing and a new player shows up they are always talking back and forth about how cool it is with the music. so i thought i would give it a shot. hopefully they will like it but if not they can turn the audio down or tell me that i have over stepped myself again. thanks again for the link and the input.
