OT: Music

[Byte]

I`ve discovered that Emperor: Battle for Dune music is one of the best fitting i have heard, especially the Harkonnen soundtrack, unfortunately i did something wrong with data files and now the ingame music just repeats track 7 hehehehe.

PS: I got 3k mp3 on the HD and about 10 cds of mp3.

Gentlemen,

I play with internet radio running. Using www.live365.com, I listen to all manner of music from 30's& 40's Big Band Jazz, to 80's pop, to Opera, to newer rock. I guess it only matters that I don't have to play in silence.

Cheers!
Trajan

ps., I also run the Lord of the Rings CD when playing hte game. It works VERY nicely.

I tend to put all sorts of bizarre tunes on the CD but I find the SEIV playlist kind of screws them up. How do I disablwe the music on the SEIVG game so that I can just listen to whatever I want to in any which way I want

[Trajan]

I remember a post on telling the game which tracks to play. Hmmmmm...

[Trajan]

Ah ha!

From a post by Tesco....

in the settings.txt

you have

Num Intro Songs := 1
Intro Song 1 Track := 9
Num Background Songs := 8
Background Song 1 Track := 2
Background Song 2 Track := 3
Background Song 3 Track := 10
Background Song 4 Track := 11
Background Song 5 Track := 12
Background Song 6 Track := 13
Background Song 7 Track := 14
Background Song 8 Track := 16
Num Combat Songs := 6
Combat Song 1 Track := 4
Combat Song 2 Track := 5
Combat Song 3 Track := 6
Combat Song 4 Track := 7
Combat Song 5 Track := 8
Combat Song 6 Track := 15

you could make a cd with the music you want to play. and increase or decrease the number of songs

if you just want to listen then either just play music or something...

nice question.

How do I disablwe the music on the SEIVG game so that I can just listen to whatever I want to in any which way I want

(F2) Game Menu/Options/CD Music toggle. Also on Options on the Tactical Combat screen.

You can disable CD music completely with the first setting in SETTINGS.TXT

Allow CD Music := FALSE

Thanks for everybody responding but I have worked out a better way... just move the stereo into the study and bLast the tunes out of that.

If you play the Cd on da' puter, you get all de silly beepy sounds from the game which frankly cramps the hurdy-gurdy solo in my afro-celt sound system CD quite heavily... and Jimi Hendrix does not sound good when you are having bleepy noises in the middle of voodoo chil'

[tesco samoa]

slight return...

Ahhh Hendrix... I think Electric Ladyland is the greatest album...

And Axisd as love.... that final.... wow...

[Growltigga]

Nahhh, Tesco, we is getting onto well subjective ground here (and I am completely bladdered thanks to a well aimed half brickj and 4 pints of stella tortoise)

everybody has their favourite and whilst Hendrix was the world's second best left handed guitar hero (after yours truly), he was still a poomtang dopehead...

Best album in the world? who knows, in honour of the canadians on this forum,I have just listened to my old copies of "Honeymoon Suite - Honeymoon Suite" and a 7 inchof "Loverboy - Lovin' every minute ofit" - I couldn't face Lee Aaron.
In honour of the HAND SHANDY SHUFFLE MERCHANT AMERICANS ON THIS POST, I played my all time favourite, Night Ranger's Greatest Hits

Oh yes, the dog's bollox if ever

and in honour of the Brits, on come's Queen's greatest
