Music Changer Thing in Doombuilder

[TheGraySpawn]

Hello, i'm new in this forum and recently I started making maps in Doombuilder. I'm working on a project called "Rain Temple" its a medium to big map and I want to use the capabilities of Doom in Hexen Format...

I need some help with the music changer thing. I don't know how it works and where I have to place the music and maybe use some scripts. Help would be much appreciated.

So you want to change the music then? Changing music usually requires XWE or SLADE, but you can change it using scripts if you're just using stock Doom or Doom II music.

#include "zcommon.acs"

script 1 open
{
SetMusic("[MUSIC NAME HERE]",0,0);
}

You can find a list of the song names in the Doom Wiki.

The music changer thing works with MUSINFO. Here's the ZDoom-specific article.

Thanks!. And how do I change music by sectors in the map? Maybe for some combat areas with action music and relaxing music for puzzle areas

Change the "open" section to "(void)", then set a line on your map to "Script Execute". Put the script number in and you're away! When the player walks across the line the music will change.

Happy to help. :-)

Very grateful. i'll give it a try and tell you later

Thanks, you helped me a lot. Here is how the script ended:

#include "zcommon.acs"

script 1 (void)
{
LocalSetMusic("D_DOOM");
}

D_DOOM is a custom music changed in Slade3 also :D

You know how to use Slade? Dang, I'm jealous.

I'm starting to learn all these things. I want to implement them in the map i'm making. I want it to be fun to play and good looking too

[Obsidian]

Don't we all. =D Where'd you learn how to use Slade?

[Gez]

There's a three-year university course offered by the University of Colorado. Look into it.

[Obsidian]

A 3-year course on using Slade? You're kidding. X-D

Besides, I live in New Zealand.

You just open your map in Slade and import some of your music with the default names: D_RUNNIN D_DOOM etc. and you're done
