I just burned the music onto a new CD, and it works fine, just remember to make the first track a blank track or something so the track numbers on the new CD correspond to the numbers on the game disc. The first music track on the game CD is 2, to that is how it should be on the new copy, and everything will then play as its supposed to.

Are you sure the first track is Track 2? I just looked at the CD and it starts on Track 1. Now, if only I had a CD burner, I could have background music. Well, thanks anyways.

I just had a thought: Would the game use the music if I copied it onto my hard drive?

Does anyone READ all those text files? You can completely customize the way it uses the CD music in the SETTINGS.TXT file. viz:

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

I never tried it myself, but someone posted once that if you put a differnt music CD in your drive while playing the game, it would play those songs instead. Sounds kind of cool. Someone mentioned using a soundtrack from a scifi movie or something ike that to add a different feel to the game.

Yes, I READ through the Settings.txt file. I saw that you could customize the tracks played, but I still can't figure out why the game doesn't play the background music. There's an allow CD music parameter, but it doesn't seem to do anything. I set it to true, and then to yes, and it still doesn't want to play the music.

I wasn't replying to your first post, Fyron, but to the other questions in the thread.

Oh, ok. Never mind then.

I still need to find out how to play the CD music in the game, though.

He said Track 2 is the first music track. I suspect Track 1 is game data; I remember another game that had a warning in the tech manual not to try to play Track 1 as audio, but I can't recall what game it was.
