As it works for you, could you upload a simple esp with the town music change, and name of the file that has the music, then we can compare esp's to see what the difference is.

 

Let's say, we both create a file like in your tutorial for the shire theme : music/explore/MUSExploreTheShire.wav and with a formID of AHS_MUSExploreTheShire

Then delete everything in the town test music type and add this to it, save, and test.

 

Upload your file and i will compare the two in a hex editor.

 

Good idea, attached is my esp and here is a link to the wav file. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/883792/02%20-%20Howard%20Shore%20-%20The%20Shire.wav

 

I know you know the full path to your data directory but here is mine, let me know if yours is any different: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\Music\AHSEpicSoundtrack\Explore

That's odd. Here is a link to it on dropbox: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/883792/TownAudioTest_4.esp

it seems you have edited worldspace data too with that plugin.

 

 

Just tested both plugins when loading a save within a town and both give me CTD's I'm stumped.

Nope, didn't edit any worldspace, i did include the update.esm file when i created the plugin though. Other than that, the only things that plugin affects are music tracks and music types.

 

Just out of curiosity, what version is your TESV.exe? Mine is 1.4.21

Mine is 1.4.21 as well. Steam automatically updates it to the latest version.

 

The plugin did have extra data in it though, but update.esm may have caused it. Either way it still doesnt work for anyone but you :S

Do you all have the hi res texture pack enabled? I have a friend that was able to reproduce the issue you all describe, and when he disabled the hi res texture pack it started working.

 

Nope, I don't have the high-res texture pack yet.

 

So if I understand correctly, we have confirmed that the problem ISN'T with our individual audio files --- it's not something like the file being too large/long or the file being broken from conversion to .wav. That at least narrows it down...but I'm still stumped.

 

One thing I tried doing was, instead of making a NEW Music Track, I just edited one that already exists (in this case Combat01). That way literally the only thing changing is the music data file, and not like any references or dependencies. But then I encountered a problem I hadn't encountered yet: I can't save the .esp file! If I hit Save, it appears to be saving, but it never finishes. If I attempt to close, it asks me if I want to save, and if I hit yes, it then says like, "unable to save as the previous save hasn't finished yet." And it just sits in this never ending loop, and ultimately I just can't save. This was in a brand new .esp file, nothing else had been changed except the music file that Combat01 was pointing to.

 

Another thing I just want to make sure is, in our "music" folder, does it matter if "music" is capitalized or not? I tried both "Music" and "music", and it didn't seem to make a difference, but it would be nice to know for future reference whether or not both are okay.
