Can't make anymore scenarios because of XP

[kobayashi]

I was postponing a new computer purchase cause I knew this would happen. Under Windows XP, now the scenarios do not know how to access the sounds in the master Civ2 directory.

i.e. the replacement sounds that come along with a scenario are played but for sound files which are not meant to be replaced, Civ2 should know how to use the master sound files - but in my case it doesn't. How can this be fixed?

I can temporarily get around this by copying all the sounds from the master sound folder into the scenario's sound folder and choose 'not to replace' but I can't keep doing this forever.

I have not had this experience.

Strange...

Under XP on my machine, everything works as normal...

Perhaps you could try resaving the 'scn' files to see if this has an effect...?

Cedric over at civfan mentioned something about changing the 'Start in' box for Civ2.exe in the windows menu bar - I'm going to try that.

I've always had a problem with XP and civ2. Sometimes civ2 can't read the gif's that comes with a scenario, and go back to the original civg graphics. So everytime I want to have the correct graphics I have to export them into bmp's. Then it always works. Anyone know what might cause this?

What do You want sounds for? I never use them

[curtsibling]

Having a scenario with no sounds is like...erm...Having a stereo with no speakers!

[techumseh]

Indeed!

[Heresson]

What!?
All my scenarios are without sounds!

This is interesting. I made a poll on the issue here:

I think there's already been such a poll. I'm even sure of it.
But it was years ago

[Eivind IV]

Well, there are many new new members since the last one. They should have say as well

[Heresson]

I don't say the new poll is not useful; the old one doesn't exist probably already.
I attempted to make sounds for Komnenai I think, I was planning units to fit this sound map, but they didn't work anyway somehow, so I resigned.
