Music is everything to me. Pounding techno in the background with rockets flying everywhere in DM is quite exciting! I'm running my own server and for the life of me can't figure how to use my new umx. files for online play. There has to be a way somehow just like you can use your own skins and mods, etc online. When I try the other players can't get on my server. All it says is "Version Mismatch". I think that this is an important issue that I have not seen brought up yet. Especially for those who have new music or write there own, like myself. Can someone please help me or refer me to someone who might be able to??? Thanks.......

No way you will get that to work without using your own maps.

Music is map dependant. There is an actor in each map, that sets the music file played.

If only you want to listen to new music you can use mp3 ane let winamp run in the background. There is also some mod called UTamp which works in game. But only for yourself

As soon as you change the music track on a map that already has a music track assigned to it, the map changes.

If you change the music track on a map that's a part of the original game, or any bonuspack for that matter, it will be unplayable, since they will have a different version of the map than you have on your server.

The solution is quite simple, don't change the music on already existing maps ;)

Now I know that I can't change the music in a map from UT or the bonus pack. But there are thousands of maps that have only sounds...not music. Will it work in this case if I add music to this map?

It's really easy to understand:
Everyone must have the same version of the maps or you will get mismatches.

You can't simply change maps without asking the original aithor for allowance. Therefore you better forget it, altough it would be nice to do it
