[General] Play music in the lobby +rep

[Regno]

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 anyone has some time spare, please help me out. ;D

Will give +rep to whoever helps me, thanks!

Is that even possible?
You are able to play music during the loading screen, but lobby - i wonder how that could work.

A version of Dota did that.
Seems like here is mention how to do it.
vJass: Advanced Initialization

There is a config function that runs in lobby. JassHelper lets you inject code to this function.

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

Lastly I worked with it, it broke my config, so I had to define the whole body from config functon in the inject again. For this open your map with mpq editor (I use Ladik's) open the .j file and copy the body from the config function inside your inject.

Have been on vacation, but will give this a try.

Reporting back with results

edit2: I need help using Jasshelper

I've seen it done before
I have no idea how but it was impressive up until the point when the game started and we realised it was crap

first impressions count though so might as well follow their trend hey?

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
   

IIRC, this wont work if you open it again (maybe... just maybe...)

Seems to work! Just one question, is it possible to have more than just one "call PlayMusic..." function? So different songs plays?

 

[Tasyen]

call PlayMusic allows multiple SongFiles as argument, 2 Files are seperated with an ";" .
call it that way, works not with all songs.
call PlayMusic("Music\\Track1.mp3;Music\\Track2.mp3;Music\\Track3.mp3")
