Introduction

Hello there! In this tutorial, I'm going to show you how to play any music you wanted to play outside your map.

There's some minor things you need to know before we're getting starting about this.

Requirements:

• World Editor Extended (1.27b+) or JassNewGenPack (1.27 and below)
• JASS Knowledge

Getting Started
1.) Go to your map's Custom Script Code.

To do this, open your map and go to your map's Custom Script Code. This where we gonna create our codes.

2.) Insert //! inject.

After that, we're going to insert this out.

//! inject config

//! endinject

The //! inject config can allow us to modify the 'Config' function within our Map's JASS script. However, using this script inappropriately can break your map. Here's a link which can give more facts about inject.​

3.) Insert call PlayMusic(<Audio>).

And finally we'll add call PlayMusic(<String>) script into the inject!

//! inject config
/*
      Map's Properties
*/

call PlayMusic("Sound\\Music\\mp3Music\\PH1.mp3")
//! endinject

For this tutorial, I am going to use PH1.mp3. Also make sure that your map's properties is included within the inject or else the map would be unplayable.​

Result

If you go to your map in the Map Selection, you will hear the music you specified.
I hope that this tutorial helps you a lot!​

Author's Note

I got this idea from one of the DoTA map which it'll play a music when selecting it.
If you can't follow the tutorial correctly, I attached the demo map for you to see.​
