What gives?

[crusaderknight]

I found a music folder in the Two Thrones file. I found it was empty. I said to myself, "Hey! Maybe I can copy some CK music to this file and have music while I play!" So I opened the file, copied the CK track "WAR_WITHOUT_END", put it in the file, created a music.txt file (just like in CK, EUII, etc.), put the name WAR_WITHOUT_END in it, got into TT, and no music played! What gives? Is there something more I need to do? Or is that folder just eating up space? Please help me! I would really like to have some music for Two Thrones.

BTW, if someone can figure out how to make this work, can you tell me if it'll work for Crown of the North, as well?

Why don't you just use Windows Media Player or similar to play the music in the background?

Because my screen flickers like crazy when I do that. You don't know how irritating it can be when every eight seconds you screen goes black then back. :wacko:

Hmm... does sound annoying. Have you tried turning the visualization off? Or perhaps using a different program? If I had Two Thrones installed I'd have a look at the strings in the executable and see if it actually uses the music directory.

Sounds good, how do I do that?

If you're talking about the strings, it's easier to do it myself than explain properly (if you're enthusastic, look for 'GNU binutils' and a program called strings):

Have fun... unfortunately, it seems that there's no reference to a music directory. So you may have to try the other music player option.

Did you read the thread at all?

(there's no music)

I have noticed that if you put a music cd in the drive before starting TT, the game will play it.

WinAmp doesn't cause screen flicker with Paradox games.
