Adding music to loading screens

[warner]

Hey,

I've seen how to add custom backgrounds to one's loading screen, but is it possible to put music in as it loads? If so, how?

Thank,
warner

I'm also wondering how do they do it, to put Music/Sound at the Loading Screen, example, DotA Game

 

[chilla_killa]

Maybe it's somewhere at the Game Interface?

 

[warner]

Does anyone know if this is possible?
@chilla: Are you trying to hint at something?

I think i know,but it is when loading screen complete then got(haven't go in game)
like this

• Initialization
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Sound - Play XXXXXX <gen>
    • Sound - Set volume of XXXXXXX to 100.00%
    • Sound - Play XXXXXX <gen>
    • Sound - Set music volume to 100.00%

You need to edit the MPQ files, or the game application itself.

Well this would be useful for people, and do you know how they add music to the Campaign screen?

 

[GhostThruster]

Dude, it's easy to add music to Campaign screens. There is an actual optional box for you to choose what music to play in the campaign editor.

But adding music to loading screen of Custom Map... is hard

 

[GhostThruster]

Not hard, impossible with conventional means.

 

[warner]

Thanks for all your help guys. So it's impossible to do it without editing the game files? Thanks.

It is possible to do, map initialization, play music, this means that when you finish loading the map it will play a sound, it won't do it during loading, but when you finish loading it'll do it.

Yes it`s possible, Map-initialization-play music trigger.
But of course it will only take place when the game has loaded and you are waiting for others.

Is there a way to play the music while/before it's loading?

 

[Levdragon]

Nope

Its not hard at all. When you have a trigger that starts with: Map Initialization then it will run when your loading is done. This means that if you make a music play under actions it will play when you have loaded. Try it if you don't believe me.
