In this guide, we will tell you how to use the Custom BGM function in the game.
A few things to note:
- Music files must be in .mp3 format.
- Some default music (like the main title menu music) cannot be changed. (This requires some modding in the game files.)
A warning before that: since it is possible to use licensed music and songs through the custom BGM function, you may run the risk of having your game video(s) removed by the video streaming service if you use it licensed. tracks through the Custom BGM function on the game video(s). If you want to use licensed parts from the gameplay video, do so at your own risk.
Preparing the Music Files
As aforementioned, the music files has to be in the .mp3 format. The game will load the music files if the files were encoded in the correct settings.
The correct settings for the .mp3 files that can be use in the game are:
- Sampling frequencies has to be either 32000Hz, 44100Hz or 48000Hz.
- The usable bitrates are 32kbps, 40kbps, 48kbps, 56kbps, 64kbps, 80kbps, 96kbps, 112kbps, 128kbps, 160kbps, 192kbps, 224kbps, 256kbps and 320kbps. It is recommend to have the .mp3 files encoded using Constant Bitrate (CBR) instead of Variable Bitrate (VBR).
Once you prepared the music files you want to use, copy and paste them into the ‘SRWMUSIC’ folder which is usually located at where the game is installed. The default location is ‘(directory of steam install)\Steam\steamapps\common\SRW30\SRWMUSIC’
