Don,

Thanks the 11025 worked for the MEL files. But no music was found. I did download the Smacker Player to view the videos.

In the old DOS version I thought you guys had a way to point to the video's, is that gone in WinSPWW2?

Yes. The videos are more trouble than they are worth considering most people ( Andy and I included ) hit the space bar to skip over them anyway. I wouldn't have used the old SSI ones in any event as they aren't suitable for modern machines and higher screen resolutions and the man hours it would have consumed to build new ones were better spent on other things so I opted for a non video splash screen to start up the game. We decided early on that it was the game we were going to concentrated on not the "flash" aspects of music and video.

That is cool.

I do like the CBMO sounds in my battle sounds in the background (the birds cherping an all that).

We left the open slots for "battle sounds" or music or whatever players wanted to add and maybe someday I'll have the time to come up with some good background sound effects. The ones in there now were more excperiments than anything. It was assumed the majority of people would opt to turn them off even if they were really good.

Well I like the background battle sounds, I like the ones in the World At War, Operational Art of War and yours as well. Adds flavor. I can send or post the battle sounds I have if there was a place. The World at War ones are neat, but I like the CMBO ones the best.

It would be better if someone created their own set using the various sound FX websites and a sound editing program. We don't encourage anyone to post things used in one game for use in another.
