Changing startup Music

[NZ-Wanderer]

A while back someone told me how to change the startup music back to the old original X-rebirth music (From memory it was simply renaming the original to what the new one was and putting it in a music folder in root)

Can some kind soul out there please tell me if this is still the case, and if so, what do I have to rename the file to now to get rid of the new music and go back to the original..

file libraries/sound library.xml was it:

Code: Select all

<diff>
<replace sel='//sound[@id="music_menu_main_music"]/sample/@start' >music\Alexei Zakharov - X4 Main Menu Theme 03 Nemesis Two</replace>
</diff>

thats for the 2.0 theme, no time to look up the 1.0 theme currently, but i think it should still be in the Game files

[NZ-Wanderer]

Yup, that's what I had to name the first file (1.0 theme) to to get it to play in v2.0
Now all I need to know is what they are calling the v3.0 file, then I can just rename it again

[UniTrader]

just make a mod with the code i posted and put in the path& name of the v1.0 theme it is written in such a way that even if the Music is changed in a patch the mod would still work since it doesnt refer the current title music directly, it just replaces it

hmmm, oooooook

Heads over to mod learning threads to see how hard this is going to be

ok, just looked through my older backed up Installations, i think you meant this soundtrack:
music\19 Birth of New Era (X Universe)

and in 2.5 it was still present (and i think in 3.0 too, just dont have an extracted version at hand currently to check), so simply changing the path to that like my mod suggestion does should do the trick

[NZ-Wanderer]

well what I did last time was to rename that file (19 Birth of New Era) to (Alexei Zakharov - X4 Main Menu Theme 03 Nemesis Two) and then put it into a "music" folder in root...
But I will go look and see how to make a mod and see if I can do what you suggest

Don't fear!
It is pretty easy. UniTrader gave you already the code.

You just have to copy it in a new text file, then rename the text file to library.xml and put it in a new folder (or in an existing mod folder) in ..//extensions/[folder]/libraries/sound/libraries.xml

[NZ-Wanderer]

ooo that sounds easy - Thank you..
One question tho, you say "library.xml" but then say "libraries.xml" - ummm confused look

the file was called "libraries/sound library.xml" (yes, the Space in file Names is confusing when used in text directly ^^

My great thanks to dez505 for simplifying something beyond my comprehension....
