Can the playlist be set to shuffle? |
Hi. I recently modded Space Empires to play my own music playlist, and a particular feature has been bugging me ever since: the playlist doesn't shuffle -- at least, not on my machine.
When a song ends, that same song starts all over again from the beginning, looping over and over until I go into combat (or run the simulator), after which a new song will be loaded, which will also loop itself. This is slightly annoying, as I spend most of my time in the turn-based mode of the game, and get a little tired of hearing the same song over and over.
So, I was wondering, does anyone else have this problem? And, is it possible to fix it? Right now, I just run the simulator whenever a song ends -- but, it'd be neat if someone knew of a lever I could pull somewhere that would cause the playlist to shuffle.
Thanks!

Don't know a *real* solution to this problem, but there is a slightly quicker way to change the track. Escape, Options, change the Music Volume (I switch between 80% and 100%), resume game. This will change the track, once you are ready for the next track, repeat, but select another Music volume level.
Might I inquire what songs you have on your playlist? Mine are mainly Star Wars, and a few from X3: Reunion. For combat I have the Halo theme and more Star Wars...

Thanks. Nice to know that there's no real fix as yet.
As to the music -- I like to listen to a mix of romantic and classical music when in the turn-based mode of play... lots of lonely violin and piano solos (Moonlight Sonata, etc). I also sprinkle in a few techno remixes of these same pieces, for variety. In combat, I play more aggressive classical music, again mixed with techno versions.
Stereotypical, I know -- but I like it.
Nice selection, though -- I could easily see some of the Halo tracks fitting in very well.

I complained a number of times in the past about the the songs repeating (and that it does it in SE:IV since it moved to .mp3 from CD music) but no changes yet.
