Some Questions

[Cherri-Blossom]

Hiya! This is my first post, but I've been a decent fan of MM for several years now. XD I say decent because I've only played MM6, MM7, HoMM3, and HoMM5. ^_^;;;

These questions all deal with MM6.

My first question deals with the music for the game. My music does not work. I've read that the CD itself plays music, but for some reason my music does not play at all. O.O I like the music too. It worked perfectly fine on my old laptop, but now that I got a new, better laptop it doesn't anymore. :(

My second question deals with game editing. I recently found editors for MM6 that lets me import my own voice clips and graphics. To remind me of my characters for the game I'm making, I decided to import my original character's body, but there are purple boxes all around her. O.O

It looks like this:



Does anyone know how to get rid of it?

(I'm gonna make all the characters match eventually :D)

Thanks in advance! XD

The transparent color should be the first in the palette.

[Cherri-Blossom]

Yeah, all I did was save over the default picture and it worked (there was a color loss, but it's all good I suppose). I don't think of my programs allow me to pick a transparent color in my palette. O.o

Now that I figured that out, I just need to find a way to play music....

Try this fan patch. It allows you to put your own music in, instead you can just rip the music off the MM6 cd (media player can do that) and put it in the right folder and it should play as usual.

How To Use MP3 Music:
Create "Music" folder in the game directory and place there files from "2.mp3" to "16.mp3" corresponding to CD tracks. Set "PlayMP3" to 1. Unlike CD music, MP3 music volume is affected by Sound Volume you set in Settings menu, so it's a good idea to keep it at maximum.

I'm sorry, but I don't really understand how to set it to "Play Mp3 to 0". I've looked in several places. Can you help me with that?

Thanks! XD

Anime geek?

I'm sorry, but I don't really understand how to set it to "Play Mp3 to 0". I've looked in several places

did you look to MM6.ini configuration file in MM6 main directory?

[Cherri-Blossom]

I tried looking for the MM6.ini configuration and I couldn't find it. I shall try again! I bet my boyfriend will help me again. :3

I like a lot more than just anime, by the way. XD That's just the style of the game I'm making with my boyfriend is in. More or less his choice, since that's the only way he can draw. :/

Speaking of music...

is there a way to set your own music to play? The current tracks get so old after awhile.

I tried looking for the MM6.ini configuration and I couldn't find it. I shall try again!

the contents of MM6.ini:

yes, and the way to do it is clearly explained in MM6patch ReadMe.TXT.

mm6.ini is created after the first run of MM6 with the patch.

[Cherri-Blossom]

Okies, after looking the second time, I found the mm6.ini file easily!

Do I have to rename the tracks to say numbers instead of names? The first track is labeled 01 New Scorpigal.mp3, so do I change its name to 1.mp3?

The music didn't work when I changed the play MP3 to 1, so that's why I'm assuming I have to rename them.

Thanks for all your help so far! The music in this game is so soooothing (the town ones, especially) and I wanna hear them while I play. Hehe. XD

Yes. Start with 2.mp3 and end with 16.mp3. Try to do it in the right order so it doesn't get messed up. I assume 01 new sorpigal would become 2.mp3 and everything gets bumped up a spot? I haven't tried it myself, but this is what the patch notes say

[Cherri-Blossom]

YAY!!!!!

I got music now! The game actually feels complete now. XD

Thank you!!
