Title: alternative background music.
Post by: maggiemay on September 15, 2011, 08:06:06 AM

I love anything which sounds like Enigma - THE music to make love  to, but just some variations on what we have. xx

It's actually pretty easy to change the music playlist to your own if you already have mp3s of your music. All the music files are .ogg files. If you google, "convert mp3 to ogg" then you should find a pretty handy online converter. Once you have the .ogg files, find the AChat folder on your computer, locate the music folder and just replace the existing .ogg files with your own.

ms Keiko, you are wonderful! What an excellent hint! This would improve achat a lot, since I don't listen to the boring music they have in the room. And no breaches of rights (unless you downloaded illegally ;) ). Thanks!!

 I don't have access to the directory folder at this moment so I'm not sure how accurate my instructions will be, but if I remember correctly, there should be a .txt document of some type among the .ogg files. Open that document and you should find a playlist listing of every file in order that they will play in the game. As long as the files in the folder match the playlist in the document, they should work.

 The simple way to do it would be just to overwrite the existing file with your music file but keep the name the same. I hope this helps :)

I tried it and it works. My advice is to overwrite the existing file with the one of your choice. Editing the playlist resulted for me re-installing the game. At least make a back up of the original folder before you make any changes (I didn't *chuckles*)

I play my music in an external music player... far easier that way. :)

well, my little old trusted pc gets very confused and extremely slow if I have another program running that is actively processing data.. This way the game doesn't lag fofr me anymore... Now if we could share our own playlist.... So my partner joining my room would hear the music I have chosen...
