[8.68] War2IntroMusic.mp3 error <Solved>

[kenlin]

I tried 3 times, including one time i host by myself. Once the game start, War3.exe has crashed and exit with a error message, I captured the error message, it is related to War2IntroMusic.mp3, but i cannot find this file from my computer.

normally this file should be included in on of the libraries of wc3. it's no new import but a music of warcraft itself.
hence i see no reason why this would cause an error. which OS are you using?

[kenlin]

So it is my War3.exe has error?
My OS is win7 Ultimate, English.

I try to reinstall war 1.24e upgrade pack then. Hope it could be solved.

[Saiyuki]

normally the sound file should be installed since long ago, so you may try to check if the music is installed. open up the World Editor of Warcraft and go to the Sound Editor ( F5 ). the music should be listed on the intern folder ( 2nd from bottom ). you may even try to play it. if it's working then at least you have a working file.

Thanks, I tried to reinstall, no luck, same error.

But then I follow what you said, open up the war editor, Press F5, I found the mp3 file, I then play it, it crash. What should I do to refresh this file then?

[Saiyuki]

did you try to play other music as well? just to check if it's not only the noted music that causes the error. ( btw you need to stop the music yourself otherwise other music won't start )
we may be able to pinpoint the problem a bit further then. gonna try to look up the file.

[kenlin]

Tried all music, only this one will crash the editor.

[Saiyuki]

ok, i found the file in the "war3.mpq". check the file itself, if it may be playble ( i hope so ).
better do a backup of the mentioned file and try to insert the file ( uploaded in here ) to the war3.mpq
if you have no tool to do so, you may use this one.
as mentioned, definetly use a backup of the *.mpq before trying. ^^

the path and filename should be "Sound\Music\mp3Music\War2IntroMusic.mp3" at the end.
you may use the "*music*" string to shorten the display by a lot.

_edit: typo and added path-/filename

[kenlin]

Done, and thanks, I host it by myself and run for 11 min, no crash at all.
I think the problem has been solved. Many thanks.
I am enjoy the Btanks game again.

[Saiyuki]

no problem ;-)
good enough to know this may be solved this way. ^^

[Paladon]

Well done, Sai

I wonder why his Wc3 wasn't able to access the file, i hope others won't have that problem.

Thank you for bringing back the music.
