adding music to maps without it

[JoezCool2]

How do I even open a *.pk3 file?

 

Is there a way to have a map play a *.mp3 file?

 

I have 15 New CTF maps on my server about 4 of them have no music at all.

 

Is there some way I can even add the default music?

 

thanx...

several things.. Yes you can add your own mp3 to a map.. only problem is you sound like you want to add it to a allready existing map.. which is a bit harder because its been compiled from a .map to a .bsp but if you download jk2radiant you can always add music by setting it in the worldspawn trigger of the map.. and add the .mp3 to the pk3 when completed...

Or a little bit more logical answer...

 

If a map is not playing any music and you want it to, then tough cookies. You can't do it without getting the uncompressed/unoptimized version of the map and adding it in manually in the map editor.

Or if you REAALLY wanted it you called always type

 

music (path name) in the console when playing the map:D

 

for example: music music/artus_topside/impbased_explore.mp3

 

Although that is a little time consuming:p

 

But i guess you could bind it to a key if you wanted.

thanx for your help guys, I will play some rock mp3z while on the silent maps.

 

what is it you use to peek inside *.pk3 files?

 

I have GTk Radiant but it does not seem to like pk3

 

Is JK2 Radiant a whole different program?

all a pk3 is a .zip file changed from .zip to .pk3
