Title: 3do music not working
Post by: Janne Savolainen on September 03, 2003, 10:10:38 pm
When I installed this game, it didn't download the 3do music for some unknown reason. So I downloaded the zip packet myself. But what use is from a zip packet. This site stinks, thats all I can say. It has 99 % of totally crap. You can't find an answer to a simply question: WHERE DO I NEED TO INSTALL THE 3DO MUSIC FILES? It would be nice if the answer was here, at web, but no. I think that you assume that players want to try it out by themselves. Like we didn't have anything else to do than to think, why the music doesn't work. The fact is, that the mod-music is horrible. But my UQM just plays the mods. I tried to copy the files to same directory where the mod-files were, but it didn't help. So what do I need to do?

Its actually quite simple...just rerun the installer....and stick all the zips in a folder....then choose that folder for the graphics, sounds, etc.

The installer will unzip and install it alol for ya

NOW COME AND FACE THE URQUAN ARMADA!

couldn't agree more I just want the music to work

Why should I have to re run the installer?

I just simply want the music to work any music!

This has changed since this was originally done.  The zips should NOT be unzipped in version 0.3; UQM reads them directly.  In the install directory there should be a directory called content\packages.  This should then have the (still zipped) zip files from the content download (assuming you did not use an installer).  The "uqm-0.3-3domusic.zip" file needs to be sitting there alongside uqm-0.3-content.zip.
