Custom music in a N-S game ? Options

[Lyran]

What's up guys.

I played a good number of Natural-Selection games where a few players would sometimes play a custom music, but it usually never lasts long.

For example, the icon that shows they're talking...well, it shows up, but it's a song playing, not the player talking. Some of you here surely saw that.

Some with poor quality, others with great quality. It's never the same,

I'd like to know...

How is it possible to "play" either a part of a track or the whole length, while playing a game ?

Do I need to be the host of my own server (dedicated or not) ?

I'm not sure, but I think some of the cases when I saw that were just unknown players, playing for fun of course, and they were not hosts or anything important to the server. Just a normal player. And I've seen cases where the host would play (with usually very good quality) many songs in a row.

There's even one time where a random guy in the Marines team started to play The Imperial March (the famous Darth Vader theme from Star Wars) during the assault on a last Hive...and the Aliens could also hear it !

Everyone liked it, it created some kind of a adrenaline rush for us (Marines), and they didn't last longer than expected.

I would like to play some decent songs, or just some funny ones.

Like, the infamous Banana Phone !

But I don't know how.

Would I need to change the format to something specific ? Do I need to put it/them (the track(s)) in a specific folder ? Etc...

I would like to know.

Thanks guys.

I have my NS volume up high as hell, so the music becomes background music, but if you wanna play, it's up at www.the-coming.com:27015
