No combat music

Meat Thirsty Hogulus · 07-22-2005, 12:23 PM

Is there no / little combat music in icewind dale, or is it just my computer? I have checked all of my audio settings in and out of the game, but when i encouter enemies in the game i hear no music. If it is already playing the easthaven theme and i am fighting goblins (in easthaven obviously) it just keeps on playing the happy song while my 1st level pansies get hewn apart. If this is design, its crappy. Somehow i don't think it is design though, black isle rocks (rocked) to much to have been this dumb, so im thinking my pc and the game just aren't agreeing on something. Does anyone else have this problem and or know what it might be. Because if neverwinter nights music was screwing up, i wouldn't have wasted time posting someplace about it, because the music isn't hot stuff to begin with, but i've listened to the soundtrack and icewind dales music is spiffy stuff. I found someplace else someone saying something (you like that aliteration? yeah?) about the area files being screwed up on his computer and the "battle song reference number" line being set to -1 instead of the actual song tag for most every area in the game (hence no battle music). This is all well and good if i new how the hell one goes about changing area files. I tried near infinity, but have no idea how to access the area files in it. They just appear blank. Anyway, this has been long and most all of the few people who started reading this have likely already stopped, so i will too.
Thanks in advance to anyone who helps me on this. All of your wildest dreams will come true.

Hmm, when I went thru IWD I don't remember any music problems. Are you fully patched?

Sounds like a configuration setting issue. Go to your IWD configuration( from the Windows Start Menu) and check your sound settings.
