Adding a new music category, Oblivion Options

[mALX]

I was trying to add a category of "Tavern Music" to the Oblivion music directory. I added a new folder in Oblivion/Data/Music called "Tavern" and added a few random sound files = Three (mono MP3 44,100 32 bit float); and one (stereo MP3 44,100 32 bit float).

(Before making the files, I checked with the game music in the Oblivion files to make sure the format was correct).

So then I go in game into an interior cell/edit/music type - but my "Tavern" choice is not showing up as an option.

Does anyone know how I can get the CS to recognize my Tavern folder as a Type for choice? (clicking on "Default" doesn't work either, the game is still drawing only from its own files).


Help?

The only tavern music mod that I've ever tried, Musica Prima Tavern Music? by Hammerfist, had this same problem. The tavern music, triggered by an activator, would sometime conflict with the soundtrack and both musical compositions would play at the same time. It was like a Charles Ives composition.

Have you checked out Shezrie's Villages? She made several taverns that come with special music that plays only in tavern cells. I know I spent quite a bit of time in her Pell's Gate tavern and I don't recall hearing the soundtrack while I was there. If I had to guess I'd say she probably scripted the game's music slider to 0 while the player is inside a tavern cell.
