Music In Ut2K3

[DoctoR_DeatH]

Hi I have a quick question ?

Is there something or somewere in the ut ini that needs to be changed so that your server will send music files ?

I am using a redirect service for my 8 player cable server and when i connect to the server its only sending the map and not the music?

I have both the map and the music at the the redirect but the redirect only sends the map.

The funny thing is that the map works without the music file.

Any help on this would be great :withstupid:

I am trying the same thing. I have some music and sounds and whatnot I want to upload to client when they connect and download new maps. I know the server will download files like:

maps(of course)
static meshes
textures
sounds?
music?

I thought it might have something to do with compressing all these files into a pack upon download? Probably wrong there.

Help!

Way back in the Dr.Sin Interview, I asked him about providing custom music for the stock maps, he said that ain't gonna happen. I can certainly see his point.

As for custom maps with custom music, it appears the maps with custom music files, don't necessarily have a dependancy upon the music. Specifically BR-LionsGapBeta, was released with custom music, but like you fellas, I noticed the re-direct, despite having the .ogg.uz2 file for the music, did not send it.

If the dependancy is set by the map maker then, perhaps he didn't, if re-direct ignores music alltogether, then I'd call it a bug. And Epic shound fix.

Here is an interesting tidbit. it seems that music files must be in format .umx for the map to link to it. .ogg music files are not native, so will not download. how ever possibly .umx files will...
as for sounds? I don't know but they shold depending on the map and how it was editing and anchored to those files.
