Hello everyone! In BG1EE, I'm trying to change the music in the second and third floors of the Friendly Arms Inn (I don't like that you have music there as if you were still in the main hall...).

I tried with NI, opened the AR2302.ARE and AR2303.ARE files, then changed "Day Song" from Tav2.mus to TDay2.mus and "Night Song" from Tav2.mus to TNite.mus, but it didn't work, Tav2.mus is still playing when my party goes up to floors 2 and 3. I also tried to switch both songs to "Special - Continue outside music", and still no change at all.

Did I miss something? Do I need to alter another file? Thanks in advance for your help!

If you changed the files after you have the game loaded, the music may be cached in memory.

But that's a mild guess.

I'd recommend instead of changing files around, instead you just turn music off and put your own on, there's plenty of fantasy inn themed music elsewhere so it won't break immersion too much.

Otherwise, probably a guide of other modders who may have more details on editing and changing the game. Or look and see if someone did something like that already.

Well, for those interrested, someone told me what the problem was: I tested from a saved game and not a new one, and area files are stored in the saved game. So I had to open the BALDUR.SAV file of my saved game, decompress the files, alter the AR2302.ARE and AR2303.ARE files in the decompressed files and compress again. And tadaaam! everything worked just fine.

I didn't check yet, but I'm pretty sure that with the alteration of the .ARE files as well, it will work just as fine with new games.
