Disabling "Ambient" music while keeping gramaphone

Skweetis · 03-21-07, 11:13 PM

I edited my music.cfg file, just set the "counters" for all sections to zero. I have a feeling that crew voices are also linked to the "Music" volume slider (since at the beginning of the career, the admirals voice is missing if you mute music. Just testing to see if this allows crew to notify you of damage.

By default I turn off the ingame music, as I find it distracting, but based on the career briefing findings, I wonder if the crew announcements are linked.

Anyway I'll let you know my findings.

Okay, those settings make SH4 bork when loading the patrol. Gonna see what else I can do, short of inserting "blank" ogg files. At least I heard the briefing voice this time.

Well, despite many different configurations, I couldnt get this to work. Gonna need dummy ogg files instead. Unless, of course, the eventually patch it ala SH3 where the in game music is a different toggle than the gramaphone/radio settings.

And upon review of the notes of the upcoming 1.1 patch, it seems apparent the missing voices arent working yet (the files are there, but they arent being called I guess)

Anyhoo.... just ignore this thread. Move along. Nothing to see here.

You dont need phony *.ogg files, just delete everything in the music fiolder except *.cfg

NoLine.I don't get SHIV till Saturday and so I can't find out for myself till then so can you please tell me if your little 'mod' means the game background music can be turned off while still using the Gramophone and are the music files ogg files like in SHIII? Thanks in advance.
