SS 6.2 music in SS 6.3

[Dziupski]

Hi all!

First of all - the best mod EVER, keep up the good work!
I have a query though - for a long time I played SS 6.2RR/RC with BYG and so forth and quite often I used to leave my game on the campaign map even when I wasnt playng just to listen to the beautiful music there - ladies singing in different languages and other great stuff. Then I installed SS6.3 and I really miss that music - any way to find it anywhere? At some point I thought it was a submod called 4winds(I cant remember installing it though) so I tried to download it but all the links are dead.
Anyhow - any idea anyone???Cheers.

I am curious about this too. That was the main drawback for me when I upgraded to 6.3 and an answer to this would be great.

If you do find a link for this one can you PM it to me? I've been looking for this forever!

Here is how you do it.

• In the data folder there is one file called descr_sounds_music.txt you replace it with the one that 6.2 has.
  
• After that you copy paste the 6.2 music files inside the 6.3 folder, it's path SS6.3\data\sounds\music.
  
• 6.2 music files will be inside the same path that is 6.2\data\sounds\music.
  
• When done go in this location:-
  SS6.3\data\sounds here you will see 4 files Music.dat, Music.idx, events.dat & events.idx you delete them.
  
• Now launch the game and play with 6.2 music & make sure you launch the game as an admin and have UAC disabled if using vista or windows 7 and your game is installed in program files.

Let me know how it goes.

Hi Ishan!
Thank You for your reply - but I am afraid it only worked partially.The only music that changed is the one in the main menu, the rest stayed the same...I am pretty sure I followed your instructions exactly.Sorry to be pain in the *** but - any other suggestions?

Has anyone else tried and succeded?

Did 6.2 include additional music that is not in 6.3? Or is that only with the 4winds addon?

You can check that when you are copy pasting files from the music folder if same files exist then you simply replace\overwrite them.
