Music On Map Selection

[Karassu]

Hey guys, I'm the epic guy. Anyway just wanna ask if you know how to play a music once a map in the list is selected. If you don't know what I mean then try opening some DotA maps. In Single Player, once you click the map, a different music automatically plays. While in LAN the music plays once you choose Create Game. How do you do that?

 

[Footman16]

With your mind.

Sheer Jedi power.

 

[Karassu]

Oh cheese, are you my disciple? I'm the epic guy and I'm building an army of tro**s. Just a few more members and we're ready to go!

Like footy said, use the force

(Winks and smiles with some funny idea in the mind)

Its probably the file type used/imported in the map, although I dunno how they do it. Is it v6.77c AI 1.4c Rev2? its awesome.

Nope not an imported file. I really want to know those musics' titles , I definitely tried to know how they were imported and used.

I think it's v6.78 AI one, the music is just awesome and fits a magician game for example Trine or Magicka. But seriously, I am trying to know them, if anyone knows, please tell me :'vw_death:

 

[Karassu]

@jonhysone, It's actually a Warcraft 3 local file, it's not from another game. If you will play the orc campaign in TFT (Rexxar's quest), you will hear that music as the intro. I don't really think it was imported, 'cause we all know that sound files that play that long will surely eat up space, and we all know that IceFrog is not that type of mapper. I think they just changed the sound of the map selection, you know like when you click a map, a ticking sound will play, I think they just replaced that one. I don't know, I tried the "Game Interface" but no luck.

 

[Vinz]

Tenthleveltaurenchieftain, when entered in single player games, plays it.

 

[Karassu]

@CakeMaster, that's a different version. The music in 80+ AI is better, what jonhysone said as magical like shit. Yeah, it sounds magical, then in the middle becomes orc-war-like.

 

[Vinz]

I only played 6.78 so I don't know. I don't know if IceFrog will import such huge files either. D:

 

[jonhysone]

I am sure it isn't imported , and if you want to know how I realized that -_-
then I deprotected Dota 6.78 AI \: , I know it's illegal, but I do anything for Music hehe. I found only 'kill' sounds such as first blood ... etc
So it must be a local file, it also has a great quality so it would eat up space as karassu said.

And yes, it was like magical shit then it became taking an orc template rythm ... The title plehz !

 

[Vinz]

I opened DotA in MPQ Editor some time ago and only found kill sounds as well. And what Local Files? :O

 

[chobibo]

Is there a video available with that sound?

 

[Karassu]

Local files means files that are with the game, example the MPQs. Like I said play the singleplayer campaign of orcs, it should be where Rexxar and his Bear Misha is shown in the intro. During that intro the music is played. It sounds good.

 

[Vinz]

Local files means files that are with the game, example the MPQs

You mean in war3/x/Patch/Local mpqs? :O

I doubt Blizzard would put some additional songs in there. Unless what you guys are talking about is in-game racial (or w/e) music.

 

[chobibo]

Oh, the tribal-like music.

 

[jonhysone]

Is there a video available with that sound?

Absolutely a pohnographic video.

I will be taking my day searching for it ( the song )

 

[Karassu]

Ok, I've used Magos' Model Editor's MPQ Browser, open the War3x.mpq, go to Sound then Music, now play the OrcTheme.mp3 and that's the music we're talkin' 'bout. But that's not the problem. The problem is how do we play that once that map is selected on the list.

 

[chobibo]

You meant something like this?

 

[Karassu]

Alas Pussy Cat! How'd you? I knew it, you don't need to import a music file, but just change the path of sound played when the map is clicked (considering the file size of DotA map). Yeah, but my problem was I didn't know how to do it... Thanks to you pussy cat! Importing a war3map.j with the path of the music did it. Here have this virtual yarn ball *.

EDIT:
Okay, for those who do not know how to do it, this is how:
1) Using an MPQ browser, export your war3map.j, open it with notepad then...
2)
//Under this line:

function config takes nothing returns nothing

//Add this line:

call PlayMusic("Sound\\Music\\mp3Music\\OrcTheme.mp3")

//.mp3 file is just an example, you can change it with another Warcraft 3 sound.

That still costs over 1 MB for bigger maps.

 

[Karassu]

That still costs over 1 MB for bigger maps.

I don't know if it will work, but maybe you can try using an MPQ Application to just replace your map's "internal" .j file.

 

[chobibo]

What costs 1 MB? If it's the .j file then you can use map optimizer to reduce it's filesize and re-import it using an mpq editor.

 

[jonhysone]

The song used is SadMystery and it's in MPQ Editor, still I have no idea how it was used in the lobby

 

[Karassu]

@Jonhysone, actually this problem is solved already. Tried it already and it works. Just read the above. And it's not SadMystery.mp3. It's OrcTheme.mp3

Oh okay sry

 

[Karassu]

SOLVED! (No more replies okay? This shit is waiting for closure)
