The following is a detailed description of each of the entries in a Music Def file. For a more practical view, see the example below


• Number of Musics
  
  
  This is the number of musics that will be listed in this file. Each Music entry is listed immediately below:
  
  
  • Music
    
    
    Each music is listed directly below the number of musics with the following format:
    
    
    • Type
      
      
      This is the type of music (how it's stored and will be played back)
      
      0 - Wav, Single File, No repeat
      1 - Wav, Single File, Repeat
      2 - Wav, Double File, Repeat
      3 - XM
      4 - Ogg Vorbis, Single File, No repeat
      5 - Ogg Vorbis, Single File, Repeat
      6 - Ogg Vorbis, Double File, Repeat
      
      Note: Currently, Ogg Vorbis files that contain silence at the beginning may not be used, as these files can crash HCGE due to an issue with decoding. If this happens, trim all silence from the beginning of the file, and it can then be used without issue
      
      
      
    • File
      
      
      These are the names of the files in which the music is stored.
      
      Types 0, 1, and 3 will only use one file, while type 2 uses two files.
      
      With Type 2 Music, the first file is played as an intro piece, and it is made to lead directly into the second file, which repeats. Each of the two files are listed on their own lines.
      
      If the file does not exist in this folder, it's path must be included. The path must be "relative", meaning that it tells how to get to the file from this folder, not from the "Root directory".
      

The following is an example setup for a Music Def file to better demonstrate how to put the above information into practice. Use the same format and fill in the appropriate values given the information contained throughout the various documents to create a Music list for an HCGE Game.
