Hello, thank you for replying. Unfortunately they didn't talk about adding some Music through Minimap Preview screen. I'm using 1.30 version btw

Sorry I didn't read. Here is from the thread of how to add music. I haven't personally tested this but I can try to help you implement it.

1. Use MPQ Editor to open your map (non-protected), read file war3map.j with notepad
   
   
2. Find function named "config" (Ctrl F)
   
   
3. Add 1 line above the "endfunction" part: call PlayMusic( "Sound\\Music\\mp3Music\\PH1.mp3" )
   
   
4. Save, exit and test

[General] - Play music in the lobby +rep

Hello Hiveworkshop, I want to get started on how to make so that whenever a player joins a lobby with my map, it plays music. I took some visit around the Hive, and from what I'm aware it has something to do with Init, but I found no tutorial which shows how to do it with Jass alone. If...

Is it this one? (sorry for the noob question)

Not a noob question at all.

I haven't done this before so I'm not 100% sure, but according to the instructions I linked, no I don't think that's the right folder.

1) download MPQ editor
2) open your map in MPQ editor
3) find this file named "war3map.j" in the MPQ files
4) open war3map.j
5) CTRL+F "function config"
6) add "call PlayMusic( "Sound\\Music\\mp3Music\\PH1.mp3" )" right before the "endfunction" line

Spoiler: function config

function config takes nothing returns nothing
    call SetMapName("TRIGSTR_159")
    call SetMapDescription("TRIGSTR_161")
    call SetPlayers(23)
    call SetTeams(23)
    call SetGamePlacement(MAP_PLACEMENT_TEAMS_TOGETHER)

    // Player setup
    call InitCustomPlayerSlots()
    call InitCustomTeams()
    call InitAllyPriorities()
    call PlayMusic( "Sound\\Music\\mp3Music\\PH1.mp3" )
endfunction

7) I think you also need to import the music you want into the sound editor, and of course change "PH1" to the song name you want to play.

Again not 100% sure this words but that's my understanding of the instructions. LMK if it works if you want more of my help.

Maybe someone else who understands this better can contribute.
