Hi guys,

Unable to find any topic here so far.

I want to change the music that plays when a romance dialog comes up.

NPC's whose romance theme I intend to change
  • Neera
  • Dorn
  • Aerie
  • Anomen
  • what is the file format for the new tracks to be?
  • what are the filename conventions?
  • is it enough i just "dump them in the override folder"?
Help is appreciated.

Thanks in adv.! :)

    Format should be .ogg.
    Can find information how to handle it HERE.

    First you need a music file, for our example chirping.ogg.
    When you want the music to play when a dialog starts, you do something like this in .d file:
    APPEND some_npc_dialogue_file
    IF ~something~ THEN BEGIN birdsChirping
    SAY ~Shhh, be quiet for a while and listen carefully.~ [chirping]
    END

    As you can see, it'll require a bit more than just dropping the file in override folder.
    It can be as easy as replacing existing music files, to introducing new ones at different places in the conversation.

    Good luck!
