Ingame music not playing

You can get help here if Freeciv doesn't start on your computer, or if you keep getting fatal errors while playing etc.

Ingame music not playing

Post by tazegolofa »

Hello everybody,

what am I missing? There's music playing on the main menu, but no music is playing ingame.

The (Client) Option Sound, "Enable in-game music" is checked.

The options chosen are: "stdsound", "stdmusic", and "sdl". Not other options are available (except "none" for plugin).

The ingame sounds are played.

Tested with:
Windows 10; downloaded Freeciv-3.0.1-msys2-win64-gtk3.22-setup
Linux Antix based on Debian Buster 10.12; compiled the 3.0.1 with gtk3.22 and sdl2-mixer

What am I doing wrong?

The minimal 'stdmusic' set does not contain any in-game music.

Use the modpack installer utility (likely you have built 'freeciv-mp-gtk3' one) to install more featured musicset, such as SongOfDoom, and then take that to use from the client settings.

Thank you!

*Facepalm*

My only defense is that I in fact saw the freeciv-mp-gtk3, but interpreted the 'mp' as 'multiplayer' ...
