How can I get the music from Simutrans to work with OpenTTD?

[Lackadaisical!]

Hi everyone,

I need some help. I just finished porting the songs from Simutrans into OpenTTD (by saving a copy of OpenMSX's .OBM file and using it as a template). But I think I did something wrong, as the music from Simutrans isn't showing up from under the drop-down list in "Base Music Set" in the "Game Options" of OpenTTD.

Here's the .OBM I've been messing with.

Is it the formatting? I'm not sure how finicky OpenTTD is with the white spaces... also, is there a limit to how many song tracks you can put inside an .OBM? I noticed that I was only able to fit in thirty-one songs before I ran of room at "ez_9" under files, so I had to expand the list a bit, going down to "ez_20". I'm not sure if expanding the list contributed to any problems or not.

Thanks!

I do believe you can only put as many songs as there are in the Original TTD music. Also the Short name is too short, it needs to be 4 characters.

Why not just turn the in-game music off and use something like WinAmp or Media Player to play them?
