Title: Custom Soundtrack Help
Post by: ewzzy on July 23, 2018, 07:25:32 pm

I've been trying to port the soundtrack from Activision Anthology. I've followed the tutorial on the main page here on THPSX, but it just doesn't show up. Can anyone take a look at my files and see if there's something obvious I've screwed up?

I started with .m4a files, converted those to .wav, and then to .bik which seems to be the right procedure. I'm stumped.

You're missing commas after each track outside of the curly braces.

Code: [Select]

{
      "band": "Naked Eyes",
      "title": "Always Something There to Remind Me",
      "filename": "AlwaysSomething.bik",
      "genre": 0
    }   Should have a comma at the end outside of the curly bracket:

Code: [Select]

{
      "band": "Naked Eyes",
      "title": "Always Something There to Remind Me",
      "filename": "AlwaysSomething.bik",
      "genre": 0
    }, Do this for ALL tracks except for the very last one:

Code: [Select]

{
      "band": "Kool Moe Dee",
      "title": "Wild Wild West",
      "filename": "WildWildWest.bik",
      "genre": 0
    }  That doesn't need the comma.
See if that helps!

Thank you! That did help. The soundtrack is now selectable in the menus, but I've run into other problems. Now, the audio doesn't play and if I tell it to show playlist it crashes the game.

Do other soundtracks play OK ala the default THUG2 soundtrack?

You're not supposed to put the .bik extension in the "filename" field.
It should be "AlwaysSomething" not "AlwaysSomething.bik"

Thanks ThAEm! That was exactly what I was doing wrong.
