Game Music
Many players of the TrackMania series have found that the default music becomes tiresome, especially due to its often repetitive nature. Fortunately, it is possible to append new selections of music to the game and even remove the default music entirely.
[edit] Folder Structure
In every TrackMania game released, music files are located in roughly the same place. For environmental music which plays while driving, the path is:
[game]\gamedata\skins\[environment]\music
It is also possible to add music to the menu. The music files should go in:
[game]\gamedata\skins\menu\music
[edit] Tutorial
For this tutorial, we'll assume that you want to convert an MP3 file into a format compatible with Trackmania United Forever and play the file while racing in the Island environment.
- Locate the path of the music file and copy it to the clipboard. (e.g. my documents\my music\file.mp3)
- Download and install Audacity if you haven't already got it.
- Click open and paste the file path into the text box.
- Make whatever changes you like, then click on the File menu choose Export as Ogg Vorbis.
- Save the file in C:\documents and settings\[your username]\my documents\trackmania\skins\island\music\race
- Now every time the game plays an island track, a random file in the race folder will play and will loop through all the songs in alphabetical and numeric order.
[edit] Fitting the theme
If you're planning on finding music to fit the environments unique personalities , you'll need an idea of what to look for in a song. Here, I've compiled a list of qualities to look out for in a song so you can find new songs for yourself. It's important to pick music that's paced just right for the game - music too fast or too slow will put you off.
