Battlezone II Music Pack mod?

[2mg]

Is there a mod that could repack music that didn't fit onto BZ2 CD (download from http://matesfamily.org/bz2/) so it plays in-game?

Or even already modded music files?

Dont know about that, what I do know is that you can turn specific sound types off(like music) and simply run music from your pc.

Two options:
1) Just turn off ingame music, and point winamp/windows media player/itunes/pandora/spotify/etc at whatever you want

2) You can drop .ogg files in {BZ2InstallDir}\addon\IngameMusicFromCD\... (i.e. making subfolders is ok), and BZ2 will pick it up and play. Some BZ2 missions (SP) have fixed music tracks, but if it's on shuffle, it'll pick up .ogg files.

The .ogg decoder is free and open source. But .mp3 decoding is potentially patent (and lawsuit) encumbered so I stay away from that. Just convert Carey's additional tracks to .ogg and use them.

Thanks. Also, I just stumbled upon a changelog about ogg tracks and how to play them from HDD, I'll try it.

EDIT: works!
