Music Doesn't Play

[Euphoria]

How can I fix the problem of there not being any in-game music playing?

[Tore]

Is there any music in the options menu? If not then you might have not downloaded the music.

[FunkyFr3sh]

start the game, then in the top left go to options and raise the volume .. maybe hit play too

 

the mini versions dont have music tho

[Jacko]

on a similar note it seems the music glitches for me

it would replace the first however many tracks with the same track

I've tried A different scores file, deleting music.ini

for now I just have it off with WMP in the background instead.

But what is the actual problem?

Probably could one find out sound file.

If you mean the names of the various tracks,then yes,I do have that,but the problem is with there not being any music playing in-game.The music plays in the main-menu,but not in the actual game itself.

I can't find any music.ini file.By the way,I'm using a Mac and followed instructions on this site on Red Alert's installation.

I already tried that and it still doesn't let the music play.The music plays in the main menu though,but not in the actual game.Also,what do you mean by "mini versions"?

[FunkyFr3sh]

where did you download the game, and how big was it ? the versions without music are usually below 30mb

[Nyerguds]

Does RA actually remove the entries if they're not found on disk? I know C&C1 does a scan of them...

[FunkyFr3sh]

yes the original 303 removes em, but this changed with irans patch

Which was found here:http://redalert1.com/mac.php

 

[FunkyFr3sh]

ok, this one doesn't come with music

 

You can download the music addon and unzip it to your game folder, here is the link:

Thanks.

I'm sorry for digging up this thread

but I'm trying to make a custom scores file with a few red alert tracks, a few TD tracks and some from elsewhere.

I was hoping you could help me with the Music.ini file as I cannot seem to find it.

[FunkyFr3sh]

download this from irans site, it comes with the music.ini and you can use it as example

 

Extra music files (17 MB, music from the PS1 only Retaliation expansion game and unreleased songs)

ok next issue

I got the added tracks working fine, but I want the original list removed, is this possible?

[FunkyFr3sh]

nope i dont think thats possible anymore

[Nyerguds]

You can just replace them by empty aud files... make a wav with like, a split second of silence in it, convert it to aud, and copy that to the names of these tracks.

 

Or just... replace the original tracks by your new ones?

[Iran]

I just fixed that in my patch. Like before the game will now NOT show songs in the music list and will also not play them if the game can't find the audio file for them.

 

Not sure when I will release the next version of my patch with this fixes, I'm doing some big changes.
