No, No, no...I've been told that they're EEEvil....

EEEvil are red.

That's a Jraenar base.

Humans are evil, anyway.

Re: SEIV GOLD Patch #4 Now Available
 

Has anyone else installed the patch and had it access the music saved to your hard drive when the game is started? It took me off guard the first time as I thought I was going nuts, I have yet to stick a music CD or even the SE4G game CD in and see what happens. Was this a planned feature? Up till this patch the music never played from the CD when I ran the game so with no other reason to I just took it out and put it away for safe keeping.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Nope. I am no artist. I can copy paste and resize fine, but that is about it.

Re: SEIV GOLD Patch #4 Now Available
 

The game plays the CD music from my drive but only if it is an audio cd (not mp3, at least at the moment). And yes, the songs do change with different screens http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Edit: IIRC it also did the same before the latest patch...

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">So it is playing off of your HD? The music it is playing is in another directory for me (not program files).

Re: SEIV GOLD Patch #4 Now Available
 

Do you perchance have any virtual CD drives running?

Re: SEIV GOLD Patch #4 Now Available
 

President Elect Shang,
the music plays from a CD ROM drive (virtual or physical) not HDD. At least for me it never did.

Re: SEIV GOLD Patch #4 Now Available
 

Ok, my oldest slipped a CD into the computer. Well I think that I will just keep it in, I am alright with this! At least now that feature is working for me, the earlier Versions and patches it never ran. I can finally hear the music that came with the CD game!

Re: SEIV GOLD Patch #4 Now Available
 

Maybe you had the play music setting in Settings.txt set to False?

Re: SEIV GOLD Patch #4 Now Available
 

How about mp3's? Can't you just cut or d/l some songs, and then play those while you're playing the game?

My oldest once put in one of her game CD-ROM's in and when I started playing SEIV, it took me a while to figure out why each time a combat started, I could hear a duck singing....

Re: SEIV GOLD Patch #4 Now Available
 

I installed the patch over my current copy of the game. I then started a new stock game, and got the new splash screen. Good work, btw, David. But then I had a problem with the races missing certain sections from the settings and fleet files. It took me awhile to realize that I need to update the extra races I put into my race folder. I got out of that game, and tried the ST Mod I've been playing lately. To tell you the truth, I didn't see any new changes. Especially these points we're supposed to be getting. I think I'll re-install my SE4 and then try the patch again.

Thanks You mephisto for the info.

Re: SEIV GOLD Patch #4 Now Available
 

With this new patch, ships are supposed to gain experience from kills by seekers, right? Well, it doesn't seem to be doing that. Playing the Jraenar, I destroyed enemy ships with missiles but my ship didn't gain experience. Has anybody tried this?

Re: SEIV GOLD Patch #4 Now Available
 

This is the sort of news that helps make a rather depressing day turn into a very happy one indeed. Many thanks to Arron, he is the greatest, and his whole team of course. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

I do hope it does not stop Mods from working totally, like the excellent AST Mod. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif
