Adding music to Tiberian Dawn Options

[insulfrog]

I have a question about adding additional music to Tiberian Dawn. Since the question is about modding (I think), is the 'Tiberian Dawn Mods' sub-forum open?

If not, here is the question: -

I am adding additional music to Tiberian Dawn, I have modded the approprate file, which is scores.mix with aditional .aud music files in the TD directory. but I think I think I need to edit another file (a 'text' or an 'INI' file of some sort, similar to Tiberian Sun's 'theme.ini' file) to make the music work.

Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

afaik you have to hex-edit the game.dat (DOS) or C&C95.exe (SVGA), since the game doesn't used inis yet.

Open the file with a hex editor and search for AIRSTRIK. There you can see the list of music used by the game. Then replace one of these with the filename of your new music. Afaik you can only replace music and can't add new tracks to the game.

So instead of editing the dat/exe you better replace in scores.mix an original track with your new one. This should be much easier.
