Loading screen music

[QuikSilv3r47]

I turned the volume of it down in the audio options screen at the main menu but if i join a server through xfire, it is at its default level.

Any way to fix thaT?

Yup....but it's a tricky one.

You have to manually edit the .desc file for every level.

e.g. C:\Program Files\EA Games\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\Levels\Dalian_plant\Info\Dalian_plant.d esc

Each map has one and looks like this:

<map gsid="101">
	<name> Dalian Plant </name>
	<briefing locid="LOADINGSCREEN_MAPDESCRIPTION_dalianplant">map description for modders maps not localized (english only)</briefing>
	<music> common/sound/menu/music/load_CH_music.ogg </music>
	<modes>
		<mode type="gpm_cq">
			<maptype ai="1" players="16" type="doubleassault" locid="GAMEMODE_DESCRIPTION_doubleassault">Unlocalized test for this mode on this map</maptype>
			<maptype players="32" type="headon" locid="GAMEMODE_DESCRIPTION_headon">Unlocalized test for this mode on this map</maptype>
			<maptype players="64" type="headon" locid="GAMEMODE_DESCRIPTION_headon">Unlocalized test for this mode on this map</maptype>
		</mode>

		<mode type="gpm_coop">
			<maptype ai="1" players="16" type="doubleassault" locid="GAMEMODE_DESCRIPTION_COOP_doubleassault">Unlocalized test for this mode on this map</maptype>
		</mode>
	</modes>
</map>

Simply edit this line:
common/sound/menu/music/load_CH_music.ogg

and just change it in any way you like, e.g.:
common/sound/menu/music1/load_CH_music.ogg

That way, the game cannot find the .ogg music file...

Punkbuster does NOT kick for this.

I'll make a .zip file containing all of the files already edited and with the paths all saved so all you have to do is unzip it to your Battlefield 2 install directory.

I don't have Armored Fury though..so I haven't included those files..but you can figure it out.

No problem..I'm surpised more people haven't asked for this.

Anybody who launches BF2 from a 3rd party browser will experience this..and it drove me NUTS!
