Turning off the music?
« on: August 13, 2006, 02:10:00 am »
It is a very nice peice of music, but i am wondering as to how to shut it off so that i may run Windows media player in the background with my own music (Setting the music to murder rap when a dwarf goes berserk, absolutely hilarious) Also, it'd be very nice if we could play the menu music while in-game, or play the in-game music while looking at the menu.  ;)


Of course, this does not need to be put in right now (as the game-killing bugs are infinitely more important) but i thought i'd mention it so that someone could put it at the bottom of the list of things to do.

I did the same thing. Toad wrote it to be pretty bulletproof, so just go into your DF folder and rename the "sound" folder to something else. It will just not play the sounds. And I personally sugguest Winamp over media player, but thats just me.

Ah ha! Thankyou.

A good work-around until the real deal gets put in is always nice to have.
