How do you add custom music?

Help greatly appreciated.

Just what the title states; "How do you add custom music?" I have my music and I already know to convert it to ogg, but thats all I know. What do I do after that? I tried to rename my song (yes its .ogg) to openingtheme to match whats in the soundmusic txt and I also tried to keep the original name of the song (I changed the name in soundmusic too)

make a new mod and create in it a folder named "Sound", place in it your ogg (if want that music in the menu, than call it "Opening Theme"). after you apply that mod, the background music will be your music

or

write over the game's music, if you don't want to mod (c/program files/stardock/sins of a solar empire/sound or something like that)

I am not sure, but I remember somewhere I have seen that it has a file definition file. I am pretty sure that if you can find the files, you probably could change it to play mp3s but don't quote me on that

I tried what you said neterw, however I don't hear any music.

 

EDIT: I thought that maybe it could be the ogg music coverter causeing problems, but the ogg files (i converted) play fine outside the game.

Make sure you rename your .ogg file correctly or it wont be recognized. As neterw said " Opening Theme " exactly as its typed .

I used the "Audio MP3 WAV WMA OGG Converter" program. And I made a new mod for the music and I named as I said to you. It worked for me.

If you named it correctly then, the game will load it, doesn't matter if it's good or nor. I messed up an ogg once, and the game loaded that noise in the game.

Not really you could change it to a different name, just as long as you named it the same in each of the player files.

I got my music working, the converter I was using was making silent ogg files. Thanks for your help guys. :D
