How to have more than one song in your stages

[video=youtube;iZztlKrYArI]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZztlKrYArI&feature=youtu.be[/video]

What you need:

Fighter factory

A copy of two or more of your songs in a .wav file

Notepad
-------


Step 1: Go to your stage, erase whatever you have after bgmusic =

Step 2: Go to your common1.CNS File, open it with notepad or Fighter Factory

Step 3: Open up Common.Snd with Fighter Factory

Step 4: In Common1.cns go to the very bottom and add this:

[statedef-2]


[State -2, PlaySnd]
type = PlaySnd
triggerall = time = 0 && roundstate != 2 && !win && !lose
trigger1 = StageVar(info.name) = "Crusader City" ; Name of stage in between the quotation marks
value = F5001,random%2
volumescale = 2000 ;If your music is too loud.
persistent = 0
channel = -1
;lowpriority = -1
freqmul = 1.0
loop = 0
pan = 0
;-----------------

the numbers after F is the group of your song of choice. Make sure to add your music in chronological order in your common.snd (1,2,3,etc) and random%X will be the number of songs you want to be randomized. Please add your music to Common.snd or anything similar. Not all of your character's snd files. Replace Crusader City with the stage's display name.

very cool, i like this aproach on this problem, this will be usefull in case anyone wants to make a sf3 full game project, thumbs up from me
The thing is, you just cannt directly code into a stage two songs, so you used characters instead, nicely done

I've used Common1.cns. There are some characters who have their own versions, but not necessarily do you have to code that in for EVERY character.

imagine that a match happens between 2 characters that don't have that code... no bgm will be played because they simply don't have the code to do it

I think it would be more like the common1.cns in your data folder will use the music. Actually, if you think about it, those characters that use their own Common1.cns will have to rely on those who don't for the music to play.

So there's a common1.cns file in data interesting, it must be some kind os template for common cns files, usable for characters, no?

A lot of people copy the Common1.cns from the data folder to their character and use it to edit their get hit states. Some would just copy it over for no reason.

So, if they copy this into their character (there is a reason, this file is needed) then this point still stands the coding for the background music plays by the characters, at least it's my guess

While \data\common1.cns is a convenient place, putting a [Statedef -2] in \data\common1.cns is not quite appropriate because most MUGEN charactes' [Statedef -2] are located in their own MUGEN CNS files.......so, it results in that MUGEN charactes' CNS [Statedef -2] will override [Statedef -2] in \data\common1.cns...........also, some MUGEN charactes have their own custom common1.cns, so you may also need to edit their own custom common1.cns to match your MUGEN way.

So, your MUGEN way seems to be a MUGEN full-game feature in which you still need to edit any MUGEN characters who have their own custom common1.cns and their own [Statedef -2] in their MUGEN CNS files....

By the way, a small MUGEN Q&A:  the PlaySnd channel = ## => ## can only take up to the value of 31 (MUGEN1.0)
