Music volume slider and cinematic video sounds

from GalCiv3 Forums

Hi guys :)

 

I am new to this game and I must say, you have done a bang up job!

 

One problem I have though, is that the music slider in options also controls the sound volume for the in game cinematic videos as well.  Try starting the Arcea campaign with your music volume turned al the way down or with music turned off and the intro movie into the campaign will have no sound.

Would it be possible to have these volumes separated?  I dont like the music to loud because then I cant hear the UI and game environment noises, but if I don't have it loud then I can't hear the cinematic when they pop up...like when you colonise, or when you build your first medium sized ship, etc

The game loses a lot when a beautiful movie pops up, but there is no sound because my music volume is just tinkling in the background, or turned off, with no way to turn it up while the movie is playing...unless I'm missing something?

Does anyone else have this problem?

Ideally, if cinematic volume was linked to SFX instead of music, it would make much more sense.  Took me ages to figure out why I had no sound in the cinematics, lol.

I too would like to see it separate as I don't want to play with music on but want to see the cinematic videos.

 

I found a way around this,  enable music but go to the music folder and delete all the ambient music etc .mp3's you don't want to hear , wouldn't be surprised if they would be reinstalled whenever game updates but seems to work fine so far.
