I have installed the new V3preview (Words can't express how cool it is, its like a completly different game).

I seem to have a problem with my music files. I don't really know anything about decoding, but it appears it may have gone wrong somehow (the music files are silent and very short, and are played as such ingame). I have had a similar problem with another mod in the past that involved decoding music (namely the B5 mod).

Is this a problem with my PC or are other people getting this too?

well...i haven't experianced this problem, try copying the files from a previous version(theones that are the same)

if your talking about the ones in the sounds/music folder directly after installing V3pr, then that would explain it as they are just blank music files. use the ones in the V2 media addon, they are completely compatable.
if you were talking about them to begin with try redownloading the media pack.

if one of the setup packages didn't download corretly you should have got an error dialog. to have something i can work with could you please go to Start - Run type dxdiag click OK, then, on the bottom of the program, click Save All Information... save the file and attach it to the forum please

how big byte/kb/mb or the music files apart?

the music addon will be included in the final of v3 so threads like that won't pop up anymore. not everybody has realized the old multimedia pack works with the pr even though i stated that along with the download...

muppet

go into your odf/system folder and find the odf labeled "dominion"

scroll down till you get to:

singlePlayerMusic = "Federation.wav"
multiPlayerMusic = "Federation.wav"

change the multiplayermusic to either

"borg.wav"
"klingon.wav"
"romulan.wav" or
"noxter.wav"

yes the speach marks ARE supposed to be there.
note you can change the single player one as well if want but it wont do much as there aint single player campaign but its still gotta be filled in to stop any crashes.

also note: unsure of compatibility with un changed game, doubt it will be a problem but you never know.

Khmm I will add my own music lol. Will tell you if there are any crash problems. But I dont think there should be


BTW: Thanx for the info, I was looking into that odf and I didnt spot that, stupid me
