Diplomacy Opening Theme WTH

Plays TEC 3

from Sins Forums

So I just picked up Trinity and moved my music add-on to the Diplomacy mod folder and the opening theme played some other song.

I looked through the original sound folder for Opening Theme and that was not it. Checked Entrenchment Sounds which has a new Opening Theme and that was not it either. Diplomacy has no added music. So I stared playing every song until I found what Diplomacy was playing in the main menu was TEC 3,

  Any input is welcome.

The opening theme is TEC 3, but you should still be able to play it by changing the opening Theme, i changed mine and it plays the song I added.

Yes I did that already, thanks. But why the hell do that and does the opening theme get used at all and is my TEC 3 going to play in game? Mine has a little speech that will not fit well in game play.

 

BTW: These forum crashes are getting real old. Never ever seen such a poorly maintained forum.

I do think TEC 3 plays in game. They did it b/c I assume they didnt have the time or money to make a new opening theme like they did for Entrechement. So they reused one from ingame.


You shouldnt need to change the TEC 3 to have the song play during the menus. So having it play during the game shouldnt be an issue. If Im understanding you correctly lol.

lol, I knew one of use would get confused... sorry about that. I was trying to say if you just changed the opening theme and left TEC 3 alone you shouldnt have to worry about the song with words playing during the acutal gameplay.


If you change the opening theme and it still plays TEC 3, you can try and taking the Entrechment Soundmusic.sounddata file and copying over the new Diplomacy. Then replace the opening theme. And it should work. At least its how its working for the mod im using.

:D Thanks for the quick replys.

The opening theme will not play from my mod folder. I wanted to keep the "OST - Sins of Humanity" as a seperate stackable mod as I have 4 soundtracks to pick from (like loading a new music cd). Will adding Entrechment Soundmusic.sounddata to the mod folder make it not stackable? eg loading my music onto your mod.

Edit: I am guessing your replacing in the game folder and not the mod folder?

No Im replacing in the mod folder. I was just using the Entrechment Soundmusic.sounddata file as a base. Ive added alot to it and such. It be stackable just edit the file to fit each mod accordingly.

Entrenchment did not have a new theme either - they used Battle 10 for that.

Honestly, one of the few things I found disappointing in the expansions was the lack of new music.

I started my Sound mod with entenchment and there is an Opening Theme in ...\Sins of a Solar Empire\Entrenchment\Sound\ which my mod replaced easily.
