Technical question: the music files

I wonder if anyone has this as I do?:

In the Tarant sewers (closed or not) and in Vendigroth, there aren't the correct music themes. Tarant sewers have the Arcanum main menu music and Vendigroth has the Void music.

But there're music files for the sewers and one very cool for Vendigroth, that I wonder you know (or someone else has this problem?).

Well, my one main question is: there's any .mes file in Arcanum.dat, or Arcanum 1,2,3,4.dat that says which music file will be played in each place? That way I could assign the correct themes to those places.

If I didn't make myself clear, tell me. I want to know how to do that.

 

Uh, why dont you just rename the music themes?

 

Umm... because if I do that... as the sewers music is the same than the menu, then the menu will have the music of the sewers...

...and the Void will have the same music as Vendigroth, and it doens't fit for the Void, I can assure you...

...hey, you don't have the problem, do you? The sewers of Tarant have their own theme... and Vendigroth it own, for you? :sad:

 

I think yes....

Well sorry, I though that the themes are maybe replaced or something, not that they are really missing.
Well that seems to be problem then, that files ar emissing, right?
You could try to dload the missing files online.... or someone could givethem to you...
If you want I could send them to you....

 

No no no... I have the files! But they aren't played in the game.

Is that I've found the music files (they're in Arcanum\modules\Arcanum\sound\music), and I've found that there's a theme for Tarant sewers and for Vendigroth, but as I've said, when you're in those places other theme is played instead (Main menu theme for sewers, and Void music for Vend).

You can hear the correct themes? :sad:

So what I want is to know if there's & where it's the .mes file that controls which music files will be played... I hope that information is in a .mes file!

 

Why don't you download the Arcanum un-dat and take out the .mes file that DOES work the music (or make a mod and take the music's .mes file out of it) and edit it correctly, or, if you have a few hours on your hands, change it by hand in WorldEd.

 

Hehe, I'm glad some people is helping...

I have downloaded the un-dat utility, but I can't find where is the file that controls the music... if you'd tell me in which .dat file I can find it! Also in which place in the .dat file.

And... how can I use the WorldEd to change that, I barely know how to use it, but I never could open the Arcanum mod... it just doens't show up. :sad: Anyway, if I find a way to open it; where is the option to select the music files to play in the game?
