Kisskiller Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 Don't know if it has already been asked but Is it possible to disactivate the background music(drumbeat)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 Not within the game itself, but one way around this is to replace the file 'theme.wav' in your 'Sound' folder with an empty 'wav' file. Hubert 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubert Cater Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 You would have to create one I guess, there are some free wave programs available, GoldWave is one. Quick question, is the background music playing throughout the game or just in the intro menu screens? Hubert 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welshwill Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 I have only noticed on the main menu screen. I normally keep the speakers off and only noticed the drumroll when I turned on the speakers to let me know when I recieve a PBEM. It is a pain in the arse as I normally leave SC open but minimized when not being used. I wouldn't know where to begin creating a wav file, couldn't you add this as an option with the next patch?

Hubert Cater Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Never thought about why the game would just be left open but I can see that now, as for a patch to this, I'll see what I can do Hubert 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubert Cater Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 OK how is this, when you minimize SC via ALT-TAB or ESC, it will stop playing the drumbeat once the wave plays through, i.e. once the SC window loses focus. When you restore it, the music will start up again. It's the quickest and easiest way for me to this for now but I think will give you what you want essentially.
