Music Mod tutorial
I haven't seen a good tutorial on how to make a music changing mod. Can somebody explain what I am to do exactly if I want to add custom music to this game? I have about 20 .ogg files right now but I'm not quite sure where to put them. Thanks!

Hmmm, I've done everything I could do but my songs still do not appear ingame. I added the .txt and .asset files correctly, and I also reformatted all the .mp3 files into .oggs, so I'm not sure what to do next. When I open the console and manually select a new song (tweakergui next.song I believe) it also doesn't work. Maybe the .ogg files didn't convert correctly?

an example,

if you don't want to remove the original soundtrack of Stellaris,
create files baasb_songs.asset and baasb_songs.txt
say you have an OGG file named baasb_song_01.ogg

In the baasb_songs.asset, add the following code:
music = { name = "baasb_song_01" file = "baasb_song_01.ogg" volume = 0.70 # this controls volume, 0 < volume < 1 }

In the baasb_songs.txt, add the following code:
song = { name = "baasb_song_01" }

Ok, so I have done everything you just listed, and it still crashes when going to the next song (after the main theme). My mod folder looks like this now: I have a .mod file in users/documents/paradox/stellaris/mod called musicmod, and I also have a folder there with the same name. Inside this folder is a descriptor.mod (containing the same information as in the musicmod.mod file) and another folder called music. Inside this are my songs and the .txt and .asset files. I named all of them like this: musicmod_song_1, musicmod_song_2 etc. My .txt and .asset are both called musicmod_songs. I have looked over the files multiple times, ensuring there were no typos, but I still can't get it to work.

I'd love if someone can write a guide for this that's a bit easier to understand.

I don't even know how to convert a .txt file into an .asset file, I'm literally too stupid for this.

hmmm, i just tried it out, it works just fine. Now I have Stellaris with Beastie Boys music ... I know its kind of unsettling...

@Hans_Yolo just rename myfile.txt to myfile.asset and u r done.
