Music mapping suggestion.

Post by sslaxx »

The current method of playing music isn't really terribly suited for custom games. This is a proposal for an alternative system of mapping music tracks.

Under the 'music' directory:

{gamename}/ - Music used by a given game (e.g., 'blackgate' for BG's music).
{gamename}.map - How to map music for a game. Format like:

{Track number logical} {gamename} {Track number actual}

The first column would be the track number used in the game. Mandatory.

The second column would hold the directory (usually {gamename}) where the music is stored. Optional. If used, the third column must be used. Otherwise, assumes track is stored in {gamename}.

The third column is used if the second column is used, and would be the track number actually to be played. Optional.
