Effect demonstrated: - OGG Vorbis music in wad


Two things before I start:
--- I'll use Wintex for this but you should be able to figure it out with your wad resource editor of choice.
--- At the time of doing this tutorial, using external files instead of wad lumps was broken in the Windows version of EDGE: for this reason the tutorial centers on the wad lump method.



Step 1. How to get your OGG in your wad
(1) Open your wad in Wintex
(2) Click the "Select" menu and choose "Lumps" (or alternatively just press the button at the bottom left which says "Data"
(3) Now click the "Edit" menu and choose "Load entry from file"
(4) When prompted to Select a name, choose (or type) COLORMAP. This is to get around a bug in Wintex which won't allow you to import "new" things.
(5) Now go choose your OGG file (you'll have to press the "Show all files" button to see it)
(6) Wait a couple of seconds to give Wintex time to import your OGG, especially if it's a few MB of music ;)
(7) Now we need to rename it. Select your COLORMAP entry, then click on the "Guru Only" menu and choose the "Rename Entry" and give it a new name (something unique like say MYOGG01).



Step 2. How to get EDGE to play your OGG

We just need to add or edit a new playlist.ddf entry
using the syntax:
OGG:LUMP:"LumpNameInWad"

For Example:
   <PLAYLISTS>

   #VERSION 1.29

   //Doom 2 map 1
   [01] MUSICINFO=OGG:LUMP:"MYOGG01";
