-=In Map Music=-
______

- 6 Maps have added in ambient map midi music converted to .bik to enhance the pleasure of map levels during play. The files are strictly client side and are configured by the player to suit thier desire and music taste. These can be changed by the player at thier liesure, simply by creating a .bik file called music.bik and inserted into the corresponding level folder under the main Music folder for GC. Each map level has a corresponding folder in the Music folder which contains that maps music.bik file.

To use your own music:
1) download the RAD Tools from http://www.radgametools.com/default.htm
2) Run Bink & Smacker
3) convert any sound file (wav, mp3, asx, etc) to .bik format with the \"BINK IT\" feature - please see the Bink documentation for more info on how to do this.
4) make sure the file is named Music.bik, and copy it to the bik file you created to the GCMOD\Music\mapname folder.


- Tip: You may want to adjust your music level for in game music before loading any of the maps.. A level of ~45% seemed to work best during our testing.

- Included maps with midi\'s are tatooine, hoth, tanaab, judicator, deathstar and bonusrace. The midi files that were converted to bik format for use in game are midi\'s found on popular Star Wars fan midi sites such as http://www.starwarssource.net/sws_media_downloads.php ... Thanks to this great site for having many of our favorites.
