Add Ogg Music to Mod?

[Knight Captain]

I'm trying to add an Ogg file to my mod, but I can't find a working example in another mod. It appears the file should be in the si71.ogg name scheme, but where would I place this?

The file plays fine elsewhere.

Previously using UI_play_music(70, 0) did not play anything, but now it plays the Exult startup music in my SI mod.

Got it!

File location is:
Exult\silverseed\mods\conquests\data\music\

File name must be in this format:
71si.ogg

Until I added this, playing 71 seemed to play a sound effect.

What's interesting is the Digital Music Pack uses bgnn.ogg for BG, but for SI uses nnsi.ogg.

Maybe Simon, who implemented it a decade ago, wanted to make sure that he finds the SI songs right away...

The same .ogg file that sounds completely fine when played by other programs sounds artifacted in Exult. That may explain why.

Seems the default Audio Sample Rate is the issue. If I turn that up from 22050 to either 44100 or 48000 the artifacting disappears.
