Adding Your Own Music
Adding your own music to the game client’s playlist is very simple, simply take your MP3 files and do the following:
There are three folders in the Beyond Protocol directory which contain music files: Excite, Intro, and Lull. Any files in the Intro directory will be played on the login screen and only then. Any files in the Excite directory will be played during combat. Any files in Lull will be played when the previous two conditions are not met.
To add your own files to the game’s playlist, you simply copy the music file into either the Excite, Lull, or Into directories, which can be found in the Audio directory in your Beyond Protocol folder (the default install directory is “C:\ProgramFiles\Dark Sky Entertainment\Beyond Protocol\Audio\”).
A step-by-step guide:
Navigate to the Audio directory, which is located in the Beyond Protocol directory.
Right-click the file you wish to copy into either the Excite, Lull, or Intro directory and select “Copy”.
Right-click the Excite, Lull, or Intro directory and select “Paste”.
The next time your game runs, the client will select a file from the appropriate directory and your music files will play.
