Keep in mind that most heroes have a hero music stream that plays when the hero is spawned, and that may override the streaming music of the game. You can disable this with a .lua parameter (as seen in the stock hero assault script):

Code: Select all

    ScriptCB_EnableHeroMusic(0)

That worked. But what about when the start stream finishes?

Maveritchell wrote:Take a look at how assault scripts are set up. If you're going to have a "start," "middle," and "finish" stream setup, you should use three streams. Otherwise, just use the one and set it to run for the whole time.

Assault scripts? In your tutorial, you said Assault mode uses one stream, other than the victory audio.

Maveritchell wrote:Sorry - I honestly wasn't paying attention, I assumed that when you said it cut out after your start stream ended that you meant that you only had audio for the start stream (which is why I said to look at the assault scripts, which only use one audio stream).

I figured and it's fine.

Maveritchell wrote:Anyway, your problem is that you don't have your sounds set up as looping. There should be a looping parameter in one of the config files, it's currently set to "Looping(0)" and should be "Looping(1)."

I tried it and it worked! Well, at least the start and middle stream did. Now I have every stream's "Priority" value set to 1, and I'll see if it plays then.

Also, do you know what "Mode3D" does? When I enabled it, none of the streams played. I found this info page about it. Do you have any more of your glorious knowledge to help expand upon it?

EDIT:

Ugh, now the third stream doesn't play at all. In fact, I don't think I have ever heard it play in-game; I'm not sure. However, the working streams looped as directed and didn't stop - or, at least, not in the second play-through. It did, however, stop randomly in the first when I played as the Republic. I cannot seem to verify what is causing this to happen! It's not the heroes; I fixed that.

SetAmbientMusic(CIS, 0.1,"cis_kam_amb_end", 2,1);

This will make the end music come in earlier (raising it to .2 might be fine).
