Hex editing the music?

Hi, I know that there aren't probably many hex editors anymore but I'll ask anyway, oh and don't tell me to use mod tools thanks.

What I want to know if there's a way to switch music with changing the mission.lvl. For example putting mos eisley assault music into certain conquest maps. It may be possible because I've been reading some old topic on this forum and someone implied it may be possible.
I can tell you how to change the music also, if you want.
this is from this topic forums/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=2488

any suggestions welcome, thanks

I don't really hex edit the mission.lvl but I think you would have to get the name of the
song: gen_amb_celebDeathmatch
Then search for cor1g_con (example) in the mission.lvl with the hex editor
after that search, search for SetAmbientMusic then you will see the original song name
replace that with the song you want: gen_amb_celebDeathmatch

If this works (it should) it will only work for gcw.

The only problem I see is if the song name is too long but as I said I don't really hex edit
the mission.lvl so I'm not sure.

Unfortunately the name is probably too long. Maybe other songs will work though.

I actually tried that before you suggested it, I came here hoping someone knew another way maybe you have to change something else for it to work

This is the only way to hex edit songs as far as I know.
