How do I load and play background music on T3D 1.1?
Well, I am now about 36 hrs past my deadline, and I still have about 1000 database calls to rewrite and my music guy is coming in about an hour... Can someone tell me real quick how I can put background music on a level? I know how to put an emitter in the mission and have it play, but I need to put a 3 min loop of some music throughout one entire map and things have change since I did it last, like since TGEA. Thanks in advance, I am sure this is something many could use to know, and the docs are still real vague still.

Make sure it's ogg or wav format.
Get you datablocks sorted first in "art/datablocks/audioProfiles.cs":
new SFXProfile(Theme) { filename = "art/sound/music/etc_etc_etc.ogg"; description = "AudioMusic2D"; preload = true;//or false - as you like };Make sound emitter in-game:
playOnAdd = "true"
sourceGroup = "AudioChannelMusic";
useTrackDescription = "true";
Point it to your track description!
et voila
