This means that there are more then 99 music tracks within the game, something which is unavoidable I'm afraid so you'll need to know which mods add music. If any of them have an optional music install, take them out and see how it goes.

[Seifer]

That's not commonly known. I'm not sure if randomly deleting them would be beneficial as it may cause a crash if the file is called later on. Do you have ToB installed?

And yeah, MUS files are the ones.

[Seifer]

That'll be a 2da I think although I can't remember offhand but to be honest, knowing what one it is makes little difference. I think the incompatibility comes with TDD.

I asked about ToB as if you wanted to mix and match mods to get around the music issue I've got a dlk and override to save you a complete reinstall.

[Seifer]

Well, I got the assertion area when beta testing with TDD and CtB so I know it's that. And its not a common occurance so you're not to know.

Send me the TP2 files for those mods and I'll see if they add any music.

OGG files are decompiled into WAV then the ACM format so whilst the ogg file packaged isn't redable, its adapted form is.

And looks like Bonehill may add a few music files. Am checking the rest now.

it does not matter when u install LongerRoad. the prob is that it add's music but it can't bcz of bgt. bgt fills all music slots. either you edit the longerRoad tp2 file (comment out the music part) or you finish bgt+soa and then a fresh tob+LongerRoad.

[Deadlok]

But if i edit the Longer Road TP2, and prevent the music from being installed, it won't give me an error while playing the game ? Some "file not found" error when it tries to play the music in a certain TLR moment ?

This is the music code in TLR TP2, and it seems to check if I have already 99 tracks in the songlist ; any ideas ?

1) That is a mistake: (~%row%~ < 100)
It should check for 99, not 100.

2) Game engine IGNORES lines numbers from 2DA. It counts them physically. So you can put all line indexes = 1 or 2, but if you'll have 101 strings there it'll be a CTD.

[dorotea]

I guess it means this particular piece of script has to be edited? Tis unfortunate, really, since this was written by Neb and I never took my time to figure out how it works - it was supposed to make sure that extra' Songs will never be added. Will simply changing numbers to 99,98, 97, 96 and 95 work?

[Seifer]

Changes the numbers won't matter. If the physical volume is higher then 99 you're probably gonna crash.

[Seifer]

As far as the ingame mechanics are concerned, they're still there. Is there an option to not install the LR music addons?
