Music affects Checksum?

[Verenti]

Is it possible for the Music not to affect Checksum?
Well, first one should ask that if it does. Now I don't mind the composers work in HoI and EU3, but the idea that we should get another late 20th century score of Victoria II is... Weird?

I clearly haven't heard the whole score yet, so I can't really claim anything, but if the music is anything like what we heard in the teaser, then the first thing I'm doing is undoubtably throwing out the score for Solo Pianos, String Quartets, Opera Ovetrures and Brass Bands. My soundtrack has to have pomp.

So, Does Music affect the checksum?

i pretty sure you can change your music in EUIII, HOI3 etc. and therefor also in vicky2

I was just about to post 'Preserve Vicky 1 soundtrack' thread.

I do not think music affects checksum, just like graphics. The only files that do are executables and variables in moddable files.

Stick the soundtrack to 19ct classics instead of HOI-like bland something themes.

Soundtrack was the only thing that did not need patching or modding in Victoria and was perfect right from 1.00.

VERDI! VERDI! VERDI!

I wouldn't think music would at all, I've had different music on CK to other people and we've had the same checksums.

Agree with Brownbeard though, period music FTW.

Only code changes change the checksum as far as I know.

No matter whether it does or doesn't, it's quite easy to just have whatever music player you use running in the background and mute the game. Easier than adding music to the game, I'd say.

No, database changes the checksum too. (This stops people cheating in multiplayer)
