	Adding a file to an LVZ with the same filename (extension does not matter) as a default Continuum image or sound file will replace that file for that arena. For example, placing a file called victoryl.wav in an LVZ will override the standard victory music in that arena.

			Place the .lvz files in the server root directory. Add the filenames separated by commas to the [Misc] LevelFiles= setting inside the arena's .cfg file.

			=== ASSS ===
			Place the .lvz files in the maps directory or the arena's directory (asss/arenas/<arena name>). Add the filenames separated by commas to the [General] LevelFiles= setting inside arena.conf (asss/arenas/<arena name>/arena.conf).
