Looking to play music that already exists in different zones/areas.

I'm looking to play music that already exists in different zones. Any simple way to do this? I haven't been able to find anything in the quest tutorials.

The sounds are in the clients' /sounds sub-directory. Because I find nothing in the source that indicates it's passing the filename of the associated sound to play for the zone, I'm lead to believe it's one of those hard coded (in the client) type of things.

In which case, without testing mind you, you could very likely just take the .wav you want to play and copy/paste/rename it to match the naming convention for the zone you want it to play in.

I'm not sure how EQ handles it, but other games have sound/music 'zones' designated in their map files.

EDIT: Client map files...

Aye, I already have Final Fantasy battle music MP3's that were renamed after the EQ battle music and it worked great. I would do that but the zone I'm trying to get music to play in is the Guild Lobby. You would think sony would of added music to the place?

Make a file with the name "guildlobby.mp3" and it will attempt to play music inside the Guild Lobby.

There is also the required functions for lua, but that's a Perl plugin that uses it.
