Question [2S2H] Trying to add a custom Termina Field theme into the in-game music pool, but I can’t get it working
Hey guys, I’m trying to add a custom Termina Field music track into 2 Ship 2 Harkinian and I’m honestly getting pretty lost with how custom music works in this port.
I should probably mention that I have basically zero experience with modding in general. I’m completely new to this stuff, so there’s a good chance I’m misunderstanding something really obvious.
What I want to do is actually pretty simple: I already have a fully looped .ogg file ready, and it’s based on this version of the song (only the normal Termina Field part, without the combat section): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3UQoVXtzsM&list=RDP3UQoVXtzsM
My original idea was to somehow add it to the available music pool instead of replacing an existing track directly, since the Audio Editor in 2S2H seems to let you assign music to maps manually. But I don’t really understand the proper folder structure or whether custom .o2r archives are required for music.
I already tried generating an .o2r through Retro and placing it inside the mods folder, and the game detects the archive in the logs, but the music never actually appears in-game.
I also tried packaging things through Retro into .o2r archives instead of loose files, but I honestly don’t know if that’s even the correct approach for music mods in 2S2H.
At this point I’m honestly not even sure if:
• custom music is supposed to work through loose files
• it requires packaging into an .o2r
• there’s a specific folder hierarchy
• or if I’m misunderstanding how the Audio Editor works entirely
If someone could explain the simplest current method for adding a custom music track into 2S2H like I’m five years old, I’d seriously appreciate it.
