How do I make a music mod?

[Jimmy Icetea]

I want to make a client sided mod that changes the soundtrack to what I want, but I'm not sure how. There is a music mod tutorial, but I can't get it to work. I need help.

I haven't done any mods relating to audio, but I have seen a lot of things that do that sort of thing. There's a mod called Absurd Mod and they replace a lot of the sounds. I highly suggest downloading the Don't starve mod tools from steam. In your library if you click on the "Games" dropdown box you should see a tools option and the mod tools should be in there. There's two programs that come with it called FMOD Designer and FMOD Studio. There are also a couple programs that may allow you to view current game audio files. I think FMOD Studio may allow you to build your own usable audio files. If you combine this with what Absurd Mod does (it literally just changes a bunch of audio files), you could get what you want. 

Btw, Absurd Mod does this for example: RemapSoundEvent( "dontstarve/characters/wilson/hurt", "music_mod/characters/wilson/hurt" )

My Assumption is that the first parameter is the original audio file, and the second one is the one you're replacing it with. With fmod_eventplayer.exe (located in Don't Starve Mod Tools\mod_tools\FMOD_Designer\fmod_eventplayer.exe) you could find the path to the original music file instead of the sound effect used in the example. This is where modding gets really really specific (and fun/crazy/annoying), where you have to start using different obscure programs to get the desired result. Tutorials might be hard to find, especially given the specific files you're trying to alter.

I hope I could point you in the right direction!
