    Default RTR Music Add-on won't play

    Hi Guys,

    I recently installed RTRPE. But I remeber liking the RTR Music add-on so i downloaded it and tried to install it. I have all RTW-BI plus mods installed on my D drive (C drive is nearly full). I extracted the Music add-on in the RTW folder, which I guessed was the thing to do. I'm playing RTRPE with the RTR-BI exe, and the game works fine but I get vanilla music not the awesome RTR music. Can someone help with this please?

    Did you rename the events.dat and events.idx files as suggested?

    Look in the data\sounds folder.

    Hi Brusilov,

    Thanks for this quick reply. No, I haven't renamed those files. What do you have to do? Just rename them with any name or something specific? Please advise! And thanks again for the reply.

    The original suggestion (I think in the readme or elsewhere) was to delete them but I prefer to rename them. It doesn't really matter what you rename them to.

    I changed events.idx to oldevents.idx and events.dat to oldevents.dat.

    The music add-on comes with a batch file. If you double click that it will rename the two files for you.

    haha what a classic bug- It is in the hotfixes thread.

    I had the same problem when I installed Gold the first time.

    Good luck with your campaigns,
