Does anyone know how to mod music into the game? It would be great to hear DMC music while styling on cryptics.

#

I thought I responded to you earlier, but maybe I got distracted. Yeah I can help you

ivory tinsel
#

I'd also want to know

hybrid canyon

hybrid canyon
#

alright. what have you done so far?

shy cave
#

umm

#

I don't know where to begin

#

I've never modded before

hybrid canyon
#

oh ok. you'll need unreal engine 5.7

#

and fmodel if you wanna look through the gamefiles

shy cave
#

5.7.4?

#

Downloading

#

I got FModel installed but I'm not sure what directory the audio files are

#

Or where to access the game files

hybrid canyon
#

for your case ignore step 5 and beyond

shy cave
#

Alright

#

I can see the game files

#

And Unreal is installed

hybrid canyon
#

cool. launch ue and make a blank game project titled FarFarWest

#

might take a while to start. you can look for whatever sounds you want to change in the mean time

shy cave
#

How do I listen to the sound file in FModel?

hybrid canyon
#

audio files should open a second window if you double click

#

or you can extract the audio by right clicking and selecting save audio

shy cave
#

[ERR] Package has unversioned properties but mapping file (.usmap) is missing, can't serialize

#

I keep getting that error when I try to open it

#

wait a sec

#

Unreal is open

hybrid canyon
shy cave
#

Nope

hybrid canyon
#

then just enable local mappings file in fmodel and add the path to it

shy cave
#

Got it

hybrid canyon
#

lmk when you know what file you want to replace

shy cave
#

I think I know what I want

hybrid canyon
#

You wanted to add a dmc/doom song, right? What format is it in?

#

I know ue accepts wav, but idk what other formats work

shy cave
#

wav

hybrid canyon
#

Cool. So just drag it into unreal. You'll need to make sure it's the same name as the file you want to replace, as well as follows the same path

shy cave
#

Do I just drag and drop it or is there a certain directory I place it in?

hybrid canyon
#

Just into the content browser

#

You can move it to the right folder after. Doesn't matter

hybrid canyon
#

you good?

shy cave
#

I'm not sure where to put the music

hybrid canyon
shy cave
#

I found the content browser and tried to put in the music, but the file directory isn't clear

#

I'm not sure what to do

hybrid canyon
#

did you check what the output log says?

shy cave
#

Unable to read wav

#

Invalid WAV file

hybrid canyon
#

wtf

shy cave
#

I'm also not sure where to replace said file

#

Unreal is open, and I can see the game files on FModel, but I'm still not sure where to replace the file

hybrid canyon
#

I don't understand

shy cave
#

Do I need to open the game files in Unreal to access the audio?

hybrid canyon
#

no?

hybrid canyon
shy cave
#

I have the audio track renamed to what I want, but I'm not sure where to put the audio

#

So I'm not sure if I need to replace the old audio file with the new one

#

And if so, where do I put it

hybrid canyon
#

this isn't working. can we call or something so you can show me your screen?

shy cave
#

Sure

hybrid canyon
#

finally. it only took like 3 hours

#

This would be banger, plus add like a robo version of dante in

shy cave
#

I think I've got my list of tracks, now I gotta figure out how to publish it to y'all

"By jove, this assortment of gramophone music is horrid! Indeed it is by all account unfit to even be perceived by a gentleman such as I, along with the rest of my colleagues. Good day, sir!"

shy cave
#

I just used DMC5 songs for the music changes, which plays in a few places

#

During exploration battles, storm events, extraction, the title screen and the lobby

#

Is there somewhere I can showcase the music?

hushed terrace
#

No dmc4 or 3 battle theme :(

#

you can post it here

shy cave

#

rip

shy cave
#

And 5 had fit some time requirements better

shy cave
#

Took a bit of quality reduction, but I think I got my first view test

#

The volume needs a few tweaks, but I think it has potential

#

That's why it's called a test

wintry holly
#

only dmc5? :(

shy cave
#

I can try other DMC titles, but I need to know from others what tracks they would like

#

I also should explain how the raw audio files compare to in-game compression

#

In Unreal, the music tracks when isolated are incredibly loud at base volume and are easy to distort if you mess with the volume. But when applied in-game, the music itself sounds quiet, especially over all the sound effects. The worst part is that the slider for sound effects is also what controls the music
