Music in game MGE with XP?

[PaulT]

I love the Civ2 music, and it never worked properly for me either. In windows 95, I used to run CD player in the background behind my civ game to make the music work.

I can now use my Civ 2 music even in my portable earpiece MP3 player. Bet they never though of that way back in 1995-96.

I'll take Mercator's suggestion and post a howto for burning an audio disk from MP3 source, this weekend, using freeware burner.

Uhm, make that next ... weekend .

Does anyone want to send me the music?

 

[mikeb33]

yea, someone should send nemt the music, it makes sence. I can't because I don't have the cd, but perhaps someone else could send it to his e-mail? It'd be easy to do and fix this problem.

Folks are pretty nervous about sending copyrighted material to someone they don't know, and being that it's music you're even more likely to have some subpoena-server lurking nearby. Try Starlifter's suggestion about accessing the music on your own disk, if possible on a different machine with a newer CD player. A full CD is around 650MB, so if you are seeing 400MB in data mode there is enough room for a pile of music tracks that are not visible.

Bingo, that would be it. The Zip is the first removable drive after C:\, and that is where the 1996 programming of Brian Reynolds is looking for the music score. I can't test with a Zip since I don't have one, but just use XP's drive letter rename to put the Zip drive to F:\ or G:\ or whatever. You need not reletter your CD drive. You may need to reboot to ensure 100% that certain things in the registry are set a certain way, but you won't get a screen asking for a reboot. Be sure to post back, with results either way, since this is sure to be a problem with a few other people out there .

I'm playing with E:\.
