ForkInAToaster Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 Ok, I'm hoping this is an easy fix. I installed X-Com apocalypse, copied over the smk folder and music file, and loaded up dosbox. I'm able to run Apoc. without the cd, and with full sound effects, at a very satisfactory speed(my comp is a beast), and the intro even plays with sound! Everything loads fine too, so I guess this is a minor detail....but when I try to turn on the music from the menu, X-Com locks up(not dosbox). I have tried multiple sound card emulations with the same results. Any idea why everything works except the music? Any help is appreciated! Windows XP2.8 Ghz P4half Gig of RAMsound card? (on motherboard, dont know)ATI Radeon 9800 pro graphics card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 As far as I was aware, Apoc needs the CD in the drive to play the music, so if you're playing it without the CD this may be what it's locking up looking for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForkInAToaster Posted April 4, 2005 Author Share Posted April 4, 2005 From all of the faq's and tutorials I've read, all of them have said to use a no cd patch. How do I run xcom in dosbox using the cd? thanks again! btw-I'm using dosbox .63 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ki-tat Chung Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 are you asking how to mount a cd, or how to simply play apoc with cd? if you want to know how to mount, just read the intro otherwise...just what exactly do you mean by turning on the music from the menu? isn't the music/sound already turn on? if not, it may be because of the missing cd. because the music file is actually outside of the apoc folder, the game doesn't know the music file is on the hard drive. my suggestion? just make an image of the cd, and use a program such as daemon cd tools or alcohol to make a virtual drive. That way, you can play without the cd, but beware: it takes up a fair amount of HD space. as for the no cd patches, my thoughts on that would be that it simply strips the game of the commands to play music. the music file is the largest file on the whole cd!
