Modding Help Editing Object sounds

So recently Ive been wanting to make a traditional radio play the song Large Magellanic Cloud but it keeps playing the normal songs, how would I fix this?

 

You are changing the music that plays from the radio?

Did you make sure that the hylotlradio.object was in objects/hylotl/hylotlspeaker ?

And second did you make sure you edited the
"soundEffect" : "/sfx/objects/hylotl_radio1.ogg", to
"soundEffect" : "/music/large-magellanic Cloud",

 

It is the radio that plays music and I changed the sound effect to "/music/large-magellanic-cloud" and im wondering does that work?

 

I tried it, nothing changed

 

did you include the file extension? That is important.

Otherwise My guess is it can't play files in the music folder.

 

file extension?

 

Notice "hylotl_radio1.ogg" has the .ogg at the end? That is the file extension. It denotes the type of file it is. In this case, an audio file. The example given above does not include an extension, so naturally it won't work.

 

so would I type in SoundEffect: "/music/large_magellanic_cloud.ogg" or is it something else?

 

If that is the full file name, yes.

You should enable file extensions so you can see what they are. (Google is your friend)

 

Enable file extensions?

The other question is, did you remember to make a proper _metadata file for your mod? I guess a .modinfo file would work, but they're a bit obsolete.

 

Metadata? (im new!)

 

Start here then.
