### Looping Custom menu tracks
The way your 1033817546.ubulk is going to be handled in-game depends on
values contained within a .uexp file located in

`PAYDAY3\Content\WwiseAudio\Events\Music\Menus` called `MusicMenu_MainMenu`

Is this only the case for the main menu music? Or also heist tracks?


Editing the values inside the uexp using a hex editor like HxD lets you set your own duration, loop times and fade in/fade out times.

These are fixed offsets that only apply to the main menu track? I'd much rather have instructions that allow people to find these offsets for any track.

An example on the main menu track wouldn't go amiss. For example, the main menu song is 192593 miliseconds long according to wwise. Just giving an example on that for the default uexp values should at least point complete hex editing newbies in the correct direction, maybe? I've passing knowledge about hex editing but this one just eludes me.

Apparently this part got removed at one point, which again helps at least pointing people at the solution I guess.

| 0x162 | float32 (Single) | seconds | Fade in Start | |
| 0x16E | float32 (Single) | seconds | Fade in End | |
| 0x192 | float32 (Single) | seconds | Fade out Start | |
| 0x19E | float32 (Single) | seconds | Fade out End | |
| 0x221 | float64 (Double) | milliseconds | Music Maximum Duration | You'll typically want to set it to the same value as 0x146 |
| 0x231 | float64 (Double) | milliseconds | Loop Start | This is where your track will loop from on every subsequent replay |
| 0x23E | float64 (Double) | milliseconds | Loop End | This is where your track will end, you can set it to be lower than the duration of the track if needed |

Once you are done, you can pack both your music file contained in `Media` and this one into your mod,
feel free to tinker with it until you're satisfied with it!
