  • CivIII music

    Don't know if this was asked before, but is there a way to change the music for CivIII? No offense to the developers, but I find most of the CivIII music irritating to my ears.

    Turn it off on the prefences menu and just play some of your own mp3s in another program. Though I assume that you could change it by replacing some files in Civ3 | Sounds

      I agree, the modern age music from Civ3 makes me want to hurt people (which is a nasty proposition in the age of nukes & MA's). I just turn it off and listen to my XM radio instead; I find opera goes well with world domination.

        I've actually 'modded' in music from other games to replace both the modern music and the greco-roman industrial music. The files are in Civilization III\Sounds\build and are contained in the three self describing folders. When you are changing music, make sure to make the new mp3s have the same stats as the originals (I don't remember exactly what they are) else the music will play double fast, etc. That's probably enough info...

        On a personal note, does anyone know anyway to extract the music from the original civ2 Cd? I've been trying to put it in for a few hours now, and I can play the files but can't see them! Any help anyone can offer will be appreciated!

          I always thought it would be neat to take the music from Civ2, convert it to mp3s and put it in Civ3.

            I've been trying on and off for about a year, so if anyone has heard any leads on how to, I'd be grateful!

              You need a program that can rip the music tracks off of the Civ2 cd. Then convert them to mp3s. I have such a program on my home computer, but its name currently escapes me. Just do a search for cd rippers.

                Could you be more specific? The main problem I'm facing is that when the cd is in a computer, it is read as a data cd and no music files are available. However, the music can be played in a media player; even on a standard cd-stereo system. I don't understand how to get at the music files on the cd when they cannot be read....

                    Tatilla, that program worked like a charm! Thank you very much- my long search is over. Is anyone interested in getting these mp3 from me? If so, I don't know how to post them or anything, so guide me through it!
