Using mp3 music, wavs, ect in maps

I have been using Modplug Tracker for a long time, used it to put in my favorite midis with it to convert to .it format.

I am glad it's easy enough to just load a midi into a deus ex map but I don't really like using midis in my maps that much.

So I decided I wanted to use an mp3 file for music instead, this is what I have done so far:

-Taken the mp3 file and converted it to a wav file in audacity.

-Opened the wav file that I converted from an mp3 file and loaded it as a sample in Modplug Tracker.

-Made the sample amplified a little because you can barely hear it.

-Placed the sample simply at the very start of the song, made like 53 patterns because the song is like 6 minutes long.

-Saved it as an .it file, loaded it with Deus Ex SDK/UnrealED.

-Previewed it with the play button, apparently it starts over after like 30 seconds into the song.

That's where the problem came in, it worked all fine in Modplug Tracker.

But in SDK it seemed to have kept starting it over in the song, and please don't tell me it is impossible to use mp3 music with Deus Ex maps because I have been in a plenty of maps that use mp3 music.

Does anyone have a possible solution? I will do a video if you need me to.

It's surely possible! For the singleplayer you can just load mp3s/oggs and even a net radio with a VSSDX hack, for the multiplayer I know people used this tutorial provided by DXMS.

P.S. Please post in appropriate forum next time.

You need to have some special ModPlug code in there, not just tell it to play a sample for 59 patterns.

I forgot what it was though, sorry.
