using different music in mods

[agentorangeguy]

I'm trying to figure out a way to use different .ogg files for certain songs without having to manually overwrite the specific ogg file in the main U7 installation folder. Is there a certain setting in a config file somewhere that will allow for a folder within my mod to store music that should override the default song of the same filename? When I get my mod together, I'd rather not have to have the person overwrite their default music folder, but have the mod use the default music with the exception of specific music files that I want to override with.

Good question... I'll try to get Marzo's ear on this...

Ok great, thanks. I'd hate to have someone overwrite their original music just to hear the new stuff in my mod if all possible hehe

Have you tried a music folder in the patch/mod? Or a in the mods cfg?

Changing the music_path in exult.cfg for playing the u6remake would at least be a less invasive option if nothing else works

haven't tried that yet, I"ll take a look
