LieutenantHawk Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 There is no functionality in the engine to add additional music and have the game automatically see it and play it.The music for Skyrim is called from within area from a list of MUST entries (every piece of music has a data record to ID it) determined by where you are and what time of day it is. Music needs to have a MUST record made for it, then it has to be added to the cell records. Alright, well, how exactly do I do that? I am going to assume you know how to create an empty esp mod file and can use TesSnip, if you don't then look up some of the dozens of threads here and on the Bethsoft forums for how. You need to create a new MUST record for each additional piece of music you want to add to the game. Once you have proper references to your music you need to create a MUSC record that contains all of the MUST record references that you want to randomly play in a cell. Once you have that finished, find the cell you want to play the previously created music list in, click on the cell header record and find the XCMO subrecord. Edit the hex value in that record to match the refID of your new MUSC record. If everything is entered properly, that cell will now play your music list. You may also have to change the value in the Unknown 3 field of the cell header, but I won't get into that now because it is seriously a huge can of worms/headaches. Heheh, well, that's not confusing at all... XD I'm lost, honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunnie Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 In order to do what you want, you will need to acquire some understanding of the record structure and types in the Skyrim.esm data file. Or you could just wait for the toolset and be able to do what you want much easier and with less of a learning curve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LieutenantHawk Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 Are you sure I'll be able to do it with the Creation Kit? I suppose they might include a music addition bit since you can't do it as easily as in Oblivion, but if not, I might have to send someone else the files and have them do it for me. I mean, without someone explaining this in person, it's rather confusing. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
