Easy method:

Things you will need:

- brain.exe

- a song

 

1. Open up your m2demo folder (should be in your Modern Warfare 2 folder or in your %localappdata%\IW4M folder.

 

2. In your m2demo folder, create a folder called sound. Create another folder in that sound folder and call it music.

Should look like this: ...\m2demo\sound\music

 

3. Change the name of your song to hz_boneyard_intro_LR_1. Check if it's MP3. If it's not, then convert it to MP3.

 

4. Copy your song to the music folder (...\m2demo\sound\music\hz_boneyard_intro_LR_1.mp3).

 

5. Launch IW4M and listen to your new menu music!

Complicated method:

Things you will need:

- brain.exe

- a song

 

1. Create a folder called sound. Create another folder in that sound folder and call it music.

Should look like this: ...\sound\music

 

2. Change the name of your song to hz_boneyard_intro_LR_1. Check if it's MP3. If it's not, then convert it to MP3.

 

3. Copy your song to the music folder (...\sound\music\hz_boneyard_intro_LR_1.mp3).

 

4. Pack your sound folder into a ZIP file (...\RANDOMNAME.zip\sound\music\...)

 

5. Change the name of the ZIP file, it should start with z_ (like z_menusound) and change the ending to .iwd.

 

6. Copy your .iwd file to your Modern Warfare 2\main\ folder.

 

7. Launch IW4M and listen to your new menu music!

Did you put into /main/ the .iwd you had successfully created?

You can put music into m2demo/sound/music folder

without iwd file...

Put it into your m2demo folder instead.

May I make a video tutorial for you, you will be given complete credit for the tutorial.

You're doing it wrong.

Here's a full in depth video tutorial on how to install the music.

 

I hope this helps the visual learners.

 

Tutorial -

Thnks for this tut simple and fast, Halcyon on & on, on mw2 lmao

Well, I'm currently searching for an alternative for this...

Thankss alot!!!

Ok, why not share my samples...

I've sampled some bits of music to use as menu background music. I warn you that these samples are not suitable for everyday usage, since the sound is a bit strong. I just use samples like these to surprise people when they launch their games at my LAN parties

Anyway, the purpose is for some of you to realize how simple it is to use a custom sample, and to realize that you can use any content, as long as it's mp3.

p.s.: as said above, the iwd should go to "m2demo" folder, rather than "main" folder (it was "main" for aIW, but it will only work on "m2demo" on 4D1.

And yes, creating the folder \sound\music\ on m2demo and putting the sample inside also works (and it's easier than creating it and then compressing it)

That should be fixed on the tutorial.

 

Have fun testing!

nice tutorial, thanks a lot. It works for me
