I was trying to edit some sound for a specific boss fight in the mod I'm working on, and even though I have the cell's music type set to play my sound (which it plays fine when not in battle) it still plays the game's default battle music. So, I was wondering if there was any way at all to play custom battle music or if it's just limited to exploration. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I am fairly new to editing Fallout 3.

There is no way to get music outside of the default folders to play that wont overlap the default music in game in a specific cell. Its been asked and pondered by many.

I've seen some script commands which seem to call different music, if that helps...

Well, I got custom BGM to play for exploration in my own interior cell without overlapping the default BGM, so I figured there might be a way to get it to play custom BGM for a single battle, but if you insist it's that impossible then I guess I'll just go with the "playing over the BGM hurf durf" option. At least for now...

How did you get your own bgm in an interior?

I would guess he just placed his music in the BGM folders, called the same thing as the BGM, so it played it instead of the regular music. Am I close? And I agree with Echonite, I don't think this can be done.

1. go to "Music Type" in the Object Window
2. new
3. Name the type, put the music files in the /data/music folder
4. add the files to your Music Type
5. set the cells' music type to your new music type
6. ????
7. PROFIT!!!

Thats just normal ingame music, not battle music though.

Yes, I know. That was my problem.
