Is it possible...

To use WeiDU to change the music tracks in BG2 and then be able to revert back to the original songs with an "uninstall"?

 

Just curious.

You can edit SONGLIST.2DA or the .MUS files it references. Does this mean you're looking into making a custom BG soundtrack?

Heh, well truthfully I was just wondering. I don't think I'm quite there yet in terms of skill to redo the soundtrack.

Could you expand more on how I would edit SONGLIST.2DA please?

[Mike1072]

I would SET_2DA_ENTRY for the Resources of all the songs I wanted to change, with the new values being the names of my .MUS files (which I'd COPY to the music folder along with my .ACMs), but I've never tried this before.

I'm guessing that I'd have to divide the custom acms into a intro, a middle, and end for the fadeouts, etc. no?

Oh, yeah, it's tricky business. But composing the music with this in mind could give interesting results... if you do decide to take this up, I'll be very interested to hear what you come up with.

Hehe...well my original thought was doing the general music for some areas (particularly the cities and forests in day and night) just to add something fresh to the game. Battle music, taverns, etc...I don't know.
