Evenin'
Does someone know how to turn off the special background music/sound
when looking at maps or reading a book ? I set the game to continue
while reading (T3UI.ini) but it´s annoying hearing two background/ambient sounds
mixed upon each other or respectively hearing the special music when reading a book/scroll at all .
Thanks...

not having looked at this yet, my guess would be to write a script on the book in question to turn off the zone music when it is frobbed. action: set property soundschema to silence, or something like that. i'll look into it.

Thanks.
But just to clearify (because it raised some confusion in the other forum ;-) ):
I want to turn of the music of the book/scroll/map not the background sounds/music of the game wich continues

No confusion about what you desire, just your perceptions regarding it. No worries. :)

Well I think there is at least the brute force method of replacing the background music (which should not be the main menu music, but that of the other menus) with silence. New file, integrating and maybe offering a round-trip patch. But that's not exactly brilliant.

@jtr7: Hey Dr. Watson ;) . Yes I want to tweak the game a bit more.
@Beleg Cúthalion: Although it´s brute force (a bit like one of the work arounds concerning the quotes file)
it might work eventually.
Do you know what files have to be replaced and how to manage this
(I´m not really adept in the editor...and this is expressed very diplomaticly :cheeky: )

So I did a little research and (thanks for the idea Beleg ) used the brute force method.
For all who are interested: search within the file SchemaMetafile_Harddrive.csc
with an hex-editor for the string "ui_metaloop" and replace the 75 (u) with an
5f (_) or perhaps another char (method adapted from "Thief Minimalist")
the good thing: ambient removed from scrolls and books
the bad:also from load/save/briefing/objective and pause menus
Guess you can´t have everything, right ? :erg:
But perhaps there is another way which keeps the music in the menus ?
What is a bit confusing: ui_metaloop is listed two times within SchemaMetafile_Harddrive.csc at (hex) 44175 and d9987. But only the first one seems to effect the game.

It's a start, Holmes!:D
