Changing the flyff music

[ryuchao009]

This has probably already been done, but I saw a help thread on this and no one seemed to know how to do this so I'm making a guide on it. Changing the music is actually really easy.

WARNING: patching your client will overwrite the settings we are creating, and your music will no longer play

This used to be a little bit easier, but eflyff changed the client to read .ogg files instead of .mp3 files. So, that adds an extra step. Most of us store our music in .mp3 or .wma format, not .ogg. So, we'll have to convert our song we want to use to .ogg

Lucky for us, there's a few free ones. I'll be using WinLAME for this guide, but if you alredy have a favorite converter that supports .mp3 -> .ogg conversions, feel free to use that.

The first thing you need is the WinLAME installer:

Run the .msi file you just downloaded and install winLAME

Installing winLAME

Opening screen of the installer

You must be registered to see links

The default install path should be fine. If not, you can click the button that says "Change..." to change the install path

You must be registered to see links

Click "Install" to install winLAME

You must be registered to see links

It's installing. Go use the bathroom, get a cup of coffee, snort some crack, whatever floats your boat.

You must be registered to see links

If you see this screen, that means it installed successfully.

Now that it's installed, let's open it up and get started.

Now that it's open, we need to get our song file into the client's music folder. For the sake of this demo, rename your song to "opening_music_test.mp3". You'll see why later.

Now, drag the song into winLAME's textbox. If you don't wanna drag it, you can press the folder button and point to the song that way.

Now winLAME should look like this. If it doesn't, you did something wrong.

As you probably already guessed, you can convert more than one file at a time. However, that's beyond the scope of this guide.

Click "Next >>". You'll see this screen:

Your info probably looks a little different from mine, but it's still not the correct info you need. Adjust it so that it looks like this:

Press the "Next >>" button. You'll now see a screen named "Ogg Vorbis Settings".

The default settings are acceptable. Press the "Next >>" button. You'll now see a screen that says "Encoding". Press the play button.

Now it's encoding. This only takes around 30 seconds.

The file has been converted to .ogg format. Click "Exit" to close winLAME. We won't be needing it for the rest of the tutorial.

Now that we have a .ogg file to use, open up default.bgm (in the Music folder) with notepad. The easiest way to do this is to open up notepad, then drag default.bgm into it. You should see something like this.

For this tutorial, I'm going to change the background music at the login scrren. Look at the line that starts with BGM_TITLE

BGM_TITLE "music\BgmDu1Mystery.ogg" // "music\BgmTitle.ogg"

"BgmDu1Mystery.ogg" is the current music that plays at the login screen. Technically, we could delete the original and change our file's name from "opening_music_test.ogg" to that, but that's too much work. There's a much easier way.

Edit the line so that it looks like this:

BGM_TITLE "music\opening_music_test.ogg" // "music\BgmTitle.ogg"

In notepad, click File->Save. Log into the game. Unless you have sound disabled, you should now hear your new background music.

Obviously, you're not limited to the name "opening_music_test.ogg" or just changing the title music. Experiment with the other music files in default.bgm and find out what they do. You can change the music for the whole client if you're ambitious enough :w00t:

Nice Great Guide

 

[WafflesAf]

Yay I needed this! <3

 

[VLxPain]

Nais guide sir ;>
Very precisely described and explained.

 

[wishly]

thankz for sharing this my friend...

 

[WafflesAf]

But can we get it so other people may hear it too? :3

You can patch it to them. Just be aware that it'll proabably take a while since the average song is around 5mb.

 

[ZuminaSpanky]

My flyff works so that everything is in the .mp3 format.

And I just checked my gpotato folder and they are both in ogg and mp3.

I was just wondering. Props on your guide though.

I noticed that as well. The weird thing was, I changed the name to "myfile.mp3" in default.bgm and it wouldn't play. However, once I converted it to .ogg it worked fine. I'm thinking they were just too lazy to take the .mp3 files out (or this format change was recent and the .mp3 files won't be in v16 clients by default).

 

[killerdog]

Nice, i just googled .mp3 -> .ogg converter

 

[arcpally]

lol YES i can finally play my screamo/techno while messing around in my private server

 

[Improved]

Its actually pretty obivous. But still, thanks for taking the time to make a guide!

Now we just need a guide on how to play .ogg music in a v14 client D:

No, renaming to .mp3 won't work, its gonna spam u with errors, not crashing the client, but everytime there is a new music, it gives you a error.

 

[arcpally]

hey whenever i try to run the server it says unplayable file type WTF?

 

[Jacky6]

Nice share mate , Good job , I've been looking for this ^^

 

[|Waffles|]

Hey, thanks for the guide.

But I followed it exactly, except I used the name eurodancer.ogg, and it is put in the default.bgm just like you did with opening_music_test.ogg, but I can't hear any sound at all. And yes, eurodancer.ogg is in the Music file.

 

[enal888]

If i want to change Guild Siege music what do i change? :mellow:
I want to change Guild siege music without changing Flaris's music.

 

[Kawikaan]

nice.

 

[pierremoodie]

When I tried to change the file in notepad and save it said access denied, how can I fit it.

You probably have Flyff installed into Program Files, which is why Windows doesn't want you to duck with stuff that will make your installed programs not work. To go around this, copy the text file you want to edit to your desktop, then open that file and make the edits. When you're done, move it back to where it come from and Windows should ask for administrative access to replace it, and then hit yes, and all should be good.
