Feiynryr Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Hey everyone, I'm new to the Fallout 4 modding community and I've been seeing tons of mods to change the main menu music. I was wondering how I could change the music myself manually? I've converted an MP3 to an XML file, even added the Music\Special folders to my Data Folder and it still loads the default F4 main menu music. Any way to get this to switch over to my converted music file? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted2948850User Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 (edited) Did you change your Fallout4.ini to take custom music? If not; go to C:\Users\[yourname]\Documents\my games\Fallout4 andopen the Fallout4.ini in a text editor (like Notepad). Find this line; sResourceDataDirsFinal=STRINGS\, and add MUSIC\, at theend of the line (sResourceDataDirsFinal=STRINGS\, MUSIC\,). Save it and you should be good to load custom music now =] Edited November 27, 2015 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feiynryr Posted November 27, 2015 Author Share Posted November 27, 2015 Yeah I got that added as well as the various other folders for textures, shaders, etc etc. I run the game through Steam, not sure if you have to start the game through the loader or the actual .exe file?

Feiynryr Posted November 27, 2015 Author Share Posted November 27, 2015 sResourceDataDirsFinal=STRINGS\, TEXTURES\, MUSIC\, SOUND\, INTERFACE\, MESHES\, PROGRAMS\, MATERIALS\, LODSETTINGS\, VIS\, MISC\, SCRIPTS\, SHADERSFX\ This is what the line code in my Fallout 4.ini looks like currently.

Deleted2948850User Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 (edited) Are you sure the file is the right format, named correctly and saved in the correct folder? Or are you running the beta?If you're running the beta I believe all settings are set back to default each time you launch. There is a fix for this but Ican't remember what is was that you need to do for that exactly. There's a few topics on this I believe.

Feiynryr Posted November 27, 2015 Author Share Posted November 27, 2015 Ahh crap, yeah I got the beta going for the patch fixes. That might be doing it. Let me try reverting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feiynryr Posted November 27, 2015 Author Share Posted November 27, 2015 Okay figured it out. You can't have the music XML file named whatever the MP3 was named. In order to manually change your own music after editing your .ini file. Make a Data folder in your main Fallout 4 folder, in the Data folder make a Music folder, in the Music FOlder make a Special folder... inside the special folder put your XML file in there and name it mus_maintheme.xml. Good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
