I recently bought the soundtrack to the HBO series "Rome" and ripped it to my computer for the purpose of listening to it while playing rtw.
Everything is fine except the tracks i ripped will not play continuously. I added the 20 or so new tracks to the old playlist at descr_sounds_music.txt under state MUSIC_STRATMAP_SUMMER. The problem is the old default tracks still play looped but the ones i added don't. So while playing i have to press ALT+M (which toggles game music on/off) every time the song ends to activate the next track.
I tried decreasing the settings at the top of the file descr_sounds_music.txt. It didn't help me with the mp3 music from HBO's ROME. There must be something under properties of my new mp3's that needs to be adjusted, because like i said, the default music does still play looped.
Below is the upper portion of descr_sounds_music.txt that i played with to try to fix the problem (w/out success):
DEFAULT: priority 9999 randomdelay 0 pan .5
DEFAULT: dry_level 1.0 wet_level 0.0
DEFAULT: pref MUSIC STREAMED
required_samples_cutoff 3
;; music events timeout in seconds
;; music state will change to the previous one if no events occured within the time out
music_timeout 25
music_retrigger 10
;; music events fade time in seconds
;; fading is used when the music changes from one state to another
music_fade_in 0
music_fade_out 3
music_fade_out_timeout 10
I've done lots of modding over the last year to rtw, but this is one thing that i haven't figured out. If anyone has a suggestion it would be much appreciated.
*BTW if you haven't watched the Rome TV series on HBO both seasons are available on DVD and is defiantly a MUST SEE!!! I have both DVDs and have watched each season multiple times the cast is great. I can't wait for the ROME movie to come out, which is apparently in the making.
