A simple Music question

[Hemske]

Just a question abou music, i dont usually have any special music in my maps but now i want it Is it any way you can do the same music theme play over and over and over again, with the same trigger?

Edit: sorry if opening a thread that already exists but, this searching system on the hive you can write as many key words you want, still nothing i want comes up...

    • Wait time of you music seconds
    • Trigger - Run (This trigger) (ignoring conditions)

It will repeat.

can you add music from i tune's to wc3? i know you can add song's i seen it done but all my music is on i tune's...

 

[Hemske]

I dont really see what you mean but if the sounds/music is .mp3 it should be no prob. to import it to WE.

 

[terradont]

If it needs to be mp3 u need to convert it. Ipod uses mp4.

BTW i hate itunes. The program that has given me more errors than a virus...

 

[Hemske]

Oh, i dont know anything about itunes, i downloaded it once, than i discovered it and now its marked in my "programs never will be used list" or "the worst programs in the world list"...

 

[WolfKnight]

how do i convert it back to mp3? and ya i know itune's realy do suck... but it's beter then nothing (not realy)

 

[terradont]

No idea.

Reason #1 for hating itunes. tries to convert all your music files into mp4 and hiding the convert back function(which i think it has)

 

[Hemske]

Maybe you can just dl a music converter?

 

[WolfKnight]

may i what is the sound/music file type that warcraft 3 supported and it have a smallest file size?
is that only .mp3 ??
i need to import music but a music file size is around 2~3 mb....
my map going to break =.=

 

[Hemske]

I dont think any other file type than .mp3 works in WE.

Yay, my hundred post!

Use switch, its an awesome sound file converter program

If you want to shrink the mp3 after converting it, then do this...
(the sound will loose some of its quality though)
btw, this is for windows, so if you have a mac, it wont work : (

1) Convert the sound to a .wav sound (in switch)
2) Open the sound in windows sound recorder (right click the .wav file and click "record"
3) go to the effects menu, and click "Increase speed by 100%". Save the sound as a new .wav file (if you play it back it will sound like crap, but that's ok ^_^)
4) convert the file to an mp3 with switch
5) in WE, in the sound window, click the "import sound" button and pick that lovely mp3 you made
6) Right click the sound, and select "Use as sound" (not music) (the file should be at the very bottom of the file tree)
7) double click the newly made sound variable (on the right) and set the pitch to 0.5, and set the channel to Music.
8) now add the trigger to play the sound...

• Events
• Time - Elapsed game time is 0.01 seconds
• Time - Every *** seconds of game time
• Actions
• Sound - Stop music Immediately
• Sound - Play YourSoundVariable <gen>

Replace the *** with the number under "length" in the sound editor (treat the : as the decimal)

Doing the funky thing in the sound recorder cuts the file size down by about 29%, and doesn't kill the quality too much.
My 6.54mb song gets shrunk to 1.93mb

But remember, its usually best not to try and use sounds (unless its never going to be played over BNet), since they bog down the dl time for games.
