Way to revert back to old music

Dragon Master · Post by **Dragon Master** » May 6th, 2006, 1:53 pm

My suggestion is button somewhere in options that toggles between the new wesnoth music and the old. Old would be the faction-specific music and the new music would be what is currently being used now.I can see why this would be a pain but it would highly benefeit players who don't even slightly get grip of what coding is. People who use their comp for entertainment and probably don't even know what C++ is.
If you want me to say it simpler I want the old music back or at least some way to get it back.

1. You want an option that will download the old music and rewire it in, because you're to lazy to copy a few files yourself. Adding the music to the default playlist macro should be rather trivial.
2. Playlist functionality which has more merit, but is still rather unecessary imo since external solution can do this much better.

Dragonmaster wants #1, I want #2.

However, when I suggested #2, I was under the impression that music was triggered by certain events (eg. victory, defeat) or states (eg. loading screen, northerners' turn). If someone can confirm that this is no longer the case, then I agree there is no real benefit to adding the functionality to Wesnoth.

(Although I do think victory/defeat music would be cool, and if that's implemented this idea becomes worthwhile again.

There actually is both a victory and a defeat theme in 1.1.2 already (just check the music/ directory), they are just never triggered.

Victory.ogg and defeat.ogg are triggered in my computer, in 1.1.0, 1.1.1 and 1.1.2a. When I win, it plays victory.ogg. When I lose, it plays defeat.ogg.
EDIT: To find those on Windows, Double click on the My Computer icon or click on Start then My Computer. Then double click on C: or if your hard drive isn't C:, double click on whatever your hard drive is. Then double click on Program Files. Double click on whichever folder you installed Battle for Wesnoth into and then double click on music. If you use a Mac, go into the place where all the files for Battle for Wesnoth are stored and search for the music there. I would go into more detail for the Mac instructions but I don't have or know how to use a Mac.
