Changing background music
Is this possible? I tried replacing the calm music, not the battle music, with Halo'sA Walk in the Woods, great song. There was an obivous change from the original music, but it came out sounding filtered. It was an octave lower and kinda muffled. But, if I ended the battle and immediately went into console mode, when the music came back it was normal without a filter. Anyone have some input on this?

This is a nice free program for various audio tasks: Audacity
Edit: Don't forget to grab an mp3 codec somewhere, like LAME.
LAME is available as a precompiled library for Windows and for the Mac. I guess that if you're a Linux user, you'll have to look at the appropriate packages mirror or you have to compile it yourself.
It may or may not be illegal in your country to use free mpeg-3-encoding and decoding software, by the way.

Well, I hope it's legal, not that it would even matter.
I'm no the most computer-savvy person, so I think it would help if you told me EXACTLY what to do, rather than just giving me the software. I got LAME and Audacity, and just saved the track as an mp3 as a test, and replaced the 3 music files with it. (Not the menu music) Then I tried Lugaru. There was NO sound. I downloaded the demo to try again, STILL NO SOUND. What could I have possible done that would affect EVERYTHING Lugaru, not just what I edited? Is this even possible?

Hello-
Unfortunately, I did the exact same thing with Audacity and Lugaru, and no, sound doesn't work anymore even if you reinstall everything. But it's not only in Lugaru. Other games crash with "failed to open sound channel" errors.
Lugaru must have corrupted something in OS X.
Now if someone could tell what library (or other) Lugaru uses for sound in OS X, or suggest anything at all to fix this, I would really appreciate it. And StaffShock too, probably.
