This is taken from 3Drealms forum boards:

Adding music sounds for Bullet Time

This allows you to have music playing while in Bullet Time.

First open up globalconfig.txt (found in /data)./

Now go to the part where it say's: [slowmotion]

It read this by default:

[slowmotion]
{
[general]
SlowMotionTime = 15.0; // length of full slowmotion session
RegenerationTime = 100000000.0; // takes this many seconds to recharge from 0 to 1 (extremely slow)
Threshold = 0.1%; // must be exceeded to start slowmotion (should never regen to this)
TurnOffPenalty = 0%; // amount of slowmotion that gets deducted when you turn it off
ShootDodgePenalty = 10%; // amount of slowmotion that gets deducted when shootdodging
ShootDodgeThreshold = 1%; // minimum of slowmotion needed to allow shootdodging

MusicVolume = 0.0; // music volume when in slowmotion from 0 to 1
MusicVolumeFadeTime = 0.5; // how many seconds the fade from/to music volume should take
// sound message to send every "HeartbeatSoundInterval" seconds - the sound should NOT be looping!
HeartbeatSoundMessage = "maxpayne_gamemode->A_PlaySound( menu, slomo_heartbeat );";
HeartbeatSoundInterval = 1.25; // interval of sending "HeartbeatSoundMessage" in slowmotion

[Message] String = "maxpayne_gamemode->gm_changecontrolledgamespeed( 0.2, 0.3 );";
[Message] String = "maxpayne_gamemode->A_PlaySound ( characters, slow_motion );";
[Message] String = "maxpayne_hudmode->mphm_flashtocolor( 0x000000a0, 0.01, 0.03, 0.1 );";
}

[EndMessages]
{
[Message] String = "maxpayne_gamemode->gm_changecontrolledgamespeed( 1.0, 0.5 );";
[Message] String = "maxpayne_gamemode->A_PlaySound ( characters, slow_motion_end );";
// [Message] String = "maxpayne_hudmode->mphm_flashtocolor( 0x000000a0, 0.01, 0.05, 0.2 );";
// [Message] String = "maxpayne_gamemode->A_PlaySound ( weapons, Shoot_NoBulletsLeft );";
}

[CantSwitchOnMessages]
{
[Message] String = "maxpayne_gamemode->A_PlaySound ( weapons, Shoot_NoBulletsLeft );";
}
}

We want it to be...

[slowmotion]
{
[general]
SlowMotionTime = 44.0; // length of full slowmotion session
RegenerationTime = 45.0; // takes this many seconds to recharge from 0 to 1 (extremely slow)
Threshold = 15%; // must be exceeded to start slowmotion (should never regen to this)
TurnOffPenalty = 0%; // amount of slowmotion that gets deducted when you turn it off
ShootDodgePenalty = 5%; // amount of slowmotion that gets deducted when shootdodging
ShootDodgeThreshold = 3%; // minimum of slowmotion needed to allow shootdodging

MusicVolume = 1; // music volume when in slowmotion from 0 to 1
MusicVolumeFadeTime = 0.001; // how many seconds the fade from/to music volume should take
// sound message to send every "HeartbeatSoundInterval" seconds - the sound should NOT be looping!
HeartbeatSoundMessage = "maxpayne_gamemode->A_PlaySound( menu, slomo_heartbeat );";
HeartbeatSoundInterval = 1.25; // interval of sending "HeartbeatSoundMessage" in slowmotion

[Message] String = "maxpayne_gamemode->A_PlayMusic( bulletsong );";
}

// [Message] String = "maxpayne_gamemode->A_PlaySound ( weapons, Shoot_NoBulletsLeft );";
}

[CantSwitchOnMessages]
{
//[Message] String = "maxpayne_gamemode->A_PlaySound ( weapons, Shoot_NoBulletsLeft );";
}
}

What did I change? Take a look again...

[slowmotion]
{
[general]
SlowMotionTime = 44.0; // length of full slowmotion session
RegenerationTime = 45.0; // takes this many seconds to recharge from 0 to 1 (extremely slow)
Threshold = 15%; // must be exceeded to start slowmotion (should never regen to this)
TurnOffPenalty = 0%; // amount of slowmotion that gets deducted when you turn it off
ShootDodgePenalty = 5%; // amount of slowmotion that gets deducted when shootdodging
ShootDodgeThreshold = 3%; // minimum of slowmotion needed to allow shootdodging

MusicVolume = 1; // music volume when in slowmotion from 0 to 1
MusicVolumeFadeTime = 0.001; // how many seconds the fade from/to music volume should take
// sound message to send every "HeartbeatSoundInterval" seconds - the sound should NOT be looping!
HeartbeatSoundMessage = "maxpayne_gamemode->A_PlaySound( menu, slomo_heartbeat );";
HeartbeatSoundInterval = 1.25 ; // interval of sending "HeartbeatSoundMessage" in slowmotion

}

{

[Message] String = "maxpayne_gamemode->A_PlayMusic( \"\" );";

// [Message] String = "maxpayne_hudmode->mphm_flashtocolor( 0x000000a0, 0.01, 0.05, 0.2 );";
// [Message] String = "maxpayne_gamemode->A_PlaySound ( weapons, Shoot_NoBulletsLeft );";
}

[CantSwitchOnMessages]
{
//[Message] String = "maxpayne_gamemode->A_PlaySound ( weapons, Shoot_NoBulletsLeft );";
}
}

Note that the HeartbeatSoundInterval is change too 999999 so that it never does it (well it will but like for not a long time ....)

Now that we are done with that goto:

\database\music

Open the Music.txt

After

[max_payne] // 1. Max Payne Theme
Filename = "wavs\max_theme.wav";
FadeInTime = MUSIC_FADETIME ;
Looping = true;

Add this

[bulletsong] // 0. bullet time music
Filename = "wavs\bulletsong.wav";
FadeInTime = 0;
Looping = true;

Now save. Make sure to have your music file in the \database\music\wavs\ folder.

If you need more info, ask at the 3Drealms boards
