L4D in game music change?

[ShadowFold]

Is there anyway I can change the music in L4D? If you know how and want to help me, PM me.
I'm pretty sure you can because I have a tourettes guy sound pack for the tank.

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead\left4dead\sound\music

Replace the wave files and profit i believe.

No profit for me I just changed the tank music to a custom Mp3 song and it doesn't work. There's probably some stupid way you gotta do it, knowing valve..

You can only change the music and have it work on a local server (IE one you host) not on other servers.

I tested it on the single player

O well I guess I was wrong.

You can install stuff to:

C:\Programs\Steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead\left4dead\sound

and /weapons, or wherever you wanna put it.

Dumb question.. did you rename the song to whatever the tank music was originally?

Did you convert them from mp3 to .wav? Make sure the bits match.

i don't know anything about how Hammer Editor works, but it follows that there must be a trigger in the map's datafile which announces what music/sound effect to play. you'd need to retro engineer a map and see what the trigger is pointing to.

Oh they need to be wavs? And yea I named them correctly.. now if I just knew how to make MP3's wavs..

This will either work, or brick your machine...

You need a transcoding program.

Try audacity

Whatever you replace the original sounds with needs to be a wav file w/ the exact same file name.
