Gamma927 Joined: Jun 12, 2008 Steam: gamma927	Posted: Jun 10, 2009 09:32 PM Msg. 10 of 26 1) Modify your globals.globals tag. Change the multiplayer information for MP, and player information for SP. 2) Run it through tool, or use the sound converter.

Just make the .wav or .mp3 open the converter, convert it to ogg vorbis, then wait for it to convert. The new sound will be in tags\sound\music\music E: Damn you gamma :P Edited by UnevenElefant5 on Jun 10, 2009 at 09:33 PM

If you don't have one then when you done and compile the map you can always open up Hek+ and load up bloodgulch go to options and set it to overwrite find the globals.globals in BG and extract it. Or you could just re-rip it. You don't need to have a backup.
