hey guys im in the process of converting the promo vid of 0.5 to a .bik file and using it as my movie in the background but the problem is the music (menu_music) as it starts on login screen which i dont want i want it to i want it to start with the vid. secondly how do i stop bf2 from streching the vid to fit the whole background screen.

i already did. what you do to get the music lined up, is just include the music on the bik file. and then go to in your pr folder mod.desc and take out the line where it loads the music like common/sound/music/menu_music.ogg or soemthing... take out that line... or back it up... you know...
but then, the music will start on the bik and the normal pr music wont play... that is of course if you want the music from the promo vid...

one thing i noticed though, i cant make my own new music file to work... i zip it in the common zip and cue it to load, but it wont. i can cue music files already in the zip, but anything new i put in, it just gives me silence... heres something i wrote up last night (ie. my notes)
any help on getting this to work would be appreciated!

menu song: Song only works if it was already in the zip, newly zipped music doesn't seem to

work... cant even add a new song as a name already in the zip. Must be somehing either related to

the conversion from mp3/m4a to ogg, or the inclusion of a new file in the zip (but that doesn't

explain why you can change the name of an already included file and it works)

TEST: ogg'ed file from elsewhere, place in common_client.zip, check if it works.

O works, X doesn't

O Song already in the zip, renamed, and loaded via mod.desc

O Song outside of common_client.zip, but WAS originally in the zip, directory updated via mod.desc

X New song (converted to .ogg), named to new file name,
zipped in common_client.zip, name loaded via mod.desc

X New song, (converted to .ogg), named to file already in
common_client.zip (eg. Startup_music.ogg), loaded via mod.desc
so really, no NEW songs work, converted to ogg... still dont... help?

i had the full version of the promo vid so, strecthing wasnt a problem... and anyway, i dont know if you can have it not stretch it... im no modder, just a tinkerer...

that got a bit confusing... one thing im gonna test tonight is taking an already ogg'd file, putting it in the zip and seeing if it cues the music... if so, then maybe what im using to convert to ogg isnt working as it should... but its sony acid pro!! how could it not?...hmm
