It Wandered In From the Wastes
I want to change the music in New Vegas, do I have to replace the existing files keeping the same filenames, or just dropping my mp3s in the folders will do? Also what`s the meaning of the naming convention hig\low\mid
 
The respective folders will play anything you dump in them. There is no need to change file names.
 
I've been trying to put in "classic" music for a while... I'm no modder, but I figured out that the music is used from the sounds .bsa in .ogg format. For example all daytime desert exploration music is in Sound/fx/mus/inc/day. All the tracks are pretty much cut up into 10 second snippets. I've tried putting in custom music (e.g. redding theme) but it just ends up layering on itself many times (i guess due to length being over ~10 seconds). The game chooses these snippets randomly. If anyone could figure this out, it would be really awesome. This game definitely needs more F1&2 music.
 
It plays from data\music\ but the track names are prescribed to places or conditions. For example in Novac plays old\Fo3 mus_FO3_Explore6.mp3
Would be nice if somebody could find out and list what plays where.
 
Yeah it does play some tracks from the music folder (like the main menu theme for example). But, upon deletion of all the music in the folder, i still got music almost at every location. A good chunk of it is played from sounds .bsa.
