Emergency 3 Mission Music

[Rulerz]

How can i put my own music on em3?

[Sirius7dk]

the easy way to do it would be to disable the music ingame and then just play your music in a media player.

dont know if it is possible to put your music into the game, try look in the game files maybe?

It's possible. Step-by-step procedure:

1. Open the folder containing Emergency3 (like My Computer -> C:\ -> Program Files -> Strategy First -> Emergency3)

2. Open the Data folder

3. Open the Audio folder

4. Open the Soundtracks folder

5. Put the .ogg file of your music into the folder

6. Then, open the soundtracks.xml file located in the Soundtracks folder (bottom right) in Notepad (right click on sountracks.xml -> select Open With -> select Notepad)

7. Once it's opened in Notepad, minimize the Notepad window, then double-click on soundtracks.xml to open the .xml version to look at it *If you want to*

*If you want to put the music in freeplay, it'll be easier than adding it to a mission.*

8. Open the Notepad version again; assuming you're going to add music to freeplay, scroll to the bottom to the section called freeplay

|| It looks like this:

<soundtrack name="freeplay">
		<music id="0" file="mod:Audio/Soundtracks/24_soundtrack_01.ogg" level="0.0" next="0" />
		<music id="1" file="mod:Audio/Soundtracks/34_action_track_short_02.ogg" level="0.1" next="0" />
		<music id="2" file="mod:Audio/Soundtracks/33_action_track_short_01.ogg" level="0.2" next="0" />
		<music id="3" file="mod:Audio/Soundtracks/35_action_track_short_03.ogg" level="0.3" next="0" />
		<music id="4" file="mod:Audio/Soundtracks/36_action_track_short_04.ogg" level="0.4" next="0" />
		<music id="5" file="mod:Audio/Soundtracks/40_action_track_short_08.ogg" level="0.5" next="0" />
		<music id="6" file="mod:Audio/Soundtracks/39_action_track_short_07.ogg" level="0.6" next="0" />
		<music id="7" file="mod:Audio/Soundtracks/38_action_track_short_06.ogg" level="0.7" next="0" />
		<music id="8" file="mod:Audio/Soundtracks/37_action_track_short_05.ogg" level="0.8" next="0" />
	</soundtrack>

9. To add your new music, add a new line that would look like:

<music id="9" file="mod:Audio/Soundtracks/your_file_name_here.ogg" level="0.9" next="0" />

10. Press save. *ALWAYS REMEMBER TO BACK UP ANY FILES YOU EDIT*

11. Close all windows, then open Emergency3 and play freeplay to see if it works

If it doesn't work, tell me. If you want to add it to missions, learn from the code or tell me.

Hope it helps

Joe, if he copies the mission file to his desktop, then holds down "Shift" and right-click, he should get an option to "Run as Administrator".

Select this and accept all the dialogs and it should
