	Repeated music in CTP2 Inflate your Upload Space

Whenever I play CTP2, I keep listening to the same music track, repeatedly. I tried to look for some help on the forums, but to no avail. I would like to know if it is possible to change the track that is played, since the buttons on the "music" menu seem not to work (Auto Repeat and Random Order).
I read somewhere on this forum that during the actual gameplay you could choose the track that would be played. Is it possible? At least it would help me from disabling the music, which is not bad at all.
Thanks.

	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

So, no answers... 'Tis a sad situation. When my wife saw that no one had replied in this thread, she immediately said: "Well, it turns out that this civ thing of yours is not as serious as you usually say it is, hmm? Nobody seems as interested as you are... leave that computer right now and come here to do the dishes!".
So, please, could someone help me to sustain my addiction to civ? (At least so that I don't have to do the dishes...)
Thanks. And sorry my bad English.

NO, anything but dishes !!

Try looking into default/gamedata/playlist.txt, it shoul look like this :

code:

NUM_SONGS	16
SONG_LIST	
	1
	1
	2
	2
	3
	3
	4
	4
	5
	5
	6
	6
	7
	7
	8
	8

Meaning it will play every song twice, before looping. If your file is the same as the one above, then I don't know what is wrong (I disabled music when I installed, and now can't put it back on again ).

Thanks for the hint. I checked my "playlist.txt" file, and it was identic to the lines you posted. I will try to contact Activision support, but I'm almost sure it will be in vain...

I think the problem is that the music screen is not available from your game, because in the game the music entry in the option screen is missing. The music screen is only available before you start any new game or load a save game. The music screen is available from the sp start window. You will find there some options like repeat mode random mode or music on off.

This is an example of an not finished game. To release not finished games is OK, but it is not OK to refuse the final patch that make the game complete.

You can change the music in the game..........I had the same problem with repeating tracks before I found by accident that you can just press the escape key and a menu will pop up which includes the Music menu that was left out from the Options menu in the game.And yes,you can choose the music track you want to play......hope this helps.

Thank you, Gazablanca, for that tip! It really works! Is this feature documented in the manual? Well, maybe I just could not find it... Anyway, time to get back to the romans and their heroic struggle to defeat the nasty americans...

The hotkeys - that's it. I am shure that all CTP1 hotkeys will work if they are in the userkeymap.txt implemented. Look in this thread and you will find all the variables for the userkeymap.txt:
