server side music

[tinboye 219]

So i am trying  to add music to my server, but i want to add it via server side.

I made the following:

@ambients\addons\ambients.pbo

inside the pbo i have config.cpp

and a folder called samples with all my ogg files

in the config.cpp

class CfgPatches {
	class ambients {
		units[] = {};
		weapons[] = {};
		requiredVersion = 0.1;
		requiredAddons[] = {};	
	};
};

class CfgMusic
{
	tracks[]={};

i added all these classes into my config.cpp under class CfgExileMusic

i added @ambients into the server start parms as well as startup parms for playing the game.

but no music plays

am i missing a step or 2?

All the music has to be in the Mission file, the player actually has to download it if you want them to hear it. I wouldn't go for it, at that point your mission size is going to be HUGE.

I would have players download the modpack with the music, enable it on client side. i just need to know why its not working atm.

I have it on server side, and client side as a mod, but the music is not playing. so i am obviously missing something. There is over 50mb in music, i do not want to have to download that everytime i load the mission. Server is small, not expecting alot of players. just a few friends. so i would give them a link to download the mod.

Just add it to the mission file bro.  As long as you are not changing your mission file alot you only need to download it when there is changes. It saves the mission files into your appdata

hmm i will have to test this out, because it seems like it has to redownload it everytime.
