In fact, whenever a song needs a custom sample group, I encourage people to load that sample group within the port itself so hackers don't have to constantly edit their Addmusic_sample_group.txt list and possibly screw up.

Well, I always wondered that, but what do you mean by "load that sample group into the port itself"? Do you mean putting your custom sample group into the MML/txt file like this:
Code
#samples { #fukARAM "MMXStrings.brr" "MMZDistortedGuitar.brr" "SlapBass.brr" "CTChoir.brr" "MMZCrash.brr" "MMZHiHat.brr" "MMZKick.brr" "MMZSnare.brr" "MMXTom.brr" }
then putting the sample group like this:
Code
#fukARAM { "EMPTY.brr" "EMPTY.brr" "EMPTY.brr" "EMPTY.brr" "EMPTY.brr" "EMPTY.brr" "EMPTY.brr" "EMPTY.brr" "EMPTY.brr" "EMPTY.brr" "EMPTY.brr" "EMPTY.brr" "EMPTY.brr" "EMPTY.brr" "EMPTY.brr" "EMPTY.brr" "EMPTY.brr" "EMPTY.brr" "EMPTY.brr" "EMPTY.brr" "EMPTY.brr" }
Or is it a even better way that doesnt rely on sending the sample group along with the SPC? Just a bit confused tbh...
Also, another thing: how cost-heavy would custom SFX in custom sample groups be and is there a better way to put them in a hack other than replacing every sample group in the text files by your sample group? It might be some pretty stupid questions, but I was always stumped on that matter, so yeah...
