good idea. the only musc that really suits wz tho is its origional music

Hello, new member here.

I just found out that the good ole Warzone 2100 is still alive with this project. KEEP IT UP guys you rock!!

I Got the warzone music tracks as VBR MP3s and I have them in "\music" folder. I also have the music.wpl file in the same dir with the tracks and its contents are as follows:

[menu]
music\Title.mp3

[game]
music\CD1BGM.mp3


But I hear nothing ingame, what is wrong? Can you make this game play the cd automatically so I could hear the music straight off my WZ 2100 disc , Just like in the original game.

@auto music search-Idea:

hmm why not creating the subdir "menu" and put there all the menu music (no matter which name) and in the "music" dir the normal game music..

--Ano

Music works only in 2.0.4_RC1(in 2.0.3 its not work) mp3's files and music.wpl must be in "wz2100\music\" folder.

music.wpl must containe next : (in this exemple I have 4 tracks in ogg format)

[game]
path=.
shuffle=yes
wz1.ogg
wz2.ogg
wz3.ogg
wz4.ogg

[menu]
path=.
wz1.ogg

I made it just like that but still no music!

somethings wrong with your code I think.

Music must be in ogg-vorbis or mp3 format.
It must be in the Warzone program folder's music folder (eg. C:\Program Files\Warzone\music) (otherwise you need to supply the full path).
The (source)code works.

didnt we have some music shipped with some early version of watzone already? what happened to that?

I have the same issue. I've followed your example exactly (I think ), but no music. I tried it with both oggs and MP3s, but to no avail.

I think the idea of auto-detecting music in the music folder is probably best.

I had the same problem:

I created a music.wpl file from scratch,but it didnt work.So I extracted a music.wpl from earlier version of wz package from sourceforge? site,I noticed the music.wpl in earlier version of wz package uses 'new line' mark,I guess the code expects the mark when reading the playlist,that explains the one I created didnt work.

Here is a little 'template' I created with proper format,replace [music1],[music2],[music3],[music4],[music5] and [menumusic] with your filename.extension,hope it will work for you. 

That template works, as long as you edit in an editor that supports said new line mark. Notepad will screw up on this one, so use wordpad. Or some other program.
