UI music

I read a tutorial about changing the UI music (which is in ogg format) but I can't get it to work. I'm trying to add some other Halo music like what edgen made.

well, heres somethin i pulled outta my ass
(i havent tried it, it may not work)

open a map of your choice which has the music included in it.
go to "Sound" and find the music tag
recursively save the meta

now open ui.map in hmt
batch extract
copy the recursively saved meta from your campaign map, and paste it into the ui's batch extract folder.
rebuild ui.map and "Add" the new music meta

when it's finished rebuilding, open your rebuilt ui.map in hht.
go to the scenario tag. there should be an empty "snd!" tag. fill it in with the new tunes.

that MIGHT work, as i said, i didnt try it.

Thanks, but I'm adding custom music in, which means I need to convert it to ogg, and then the ogg has to have the "ogg file validation" implemented.

I can't get past that.

i believe Sword made a UI mod for mac, he will know how to do it.

hopefully it'll work

unless you are using halo CE you cannot add custom music, i have posed a question similar before.

what about the "Import Track" option in hmt?
