Fan Patch 1.50.18
ok, can you also try the EN version jimtext with language.ini set at 4 (italian)?
Re: 1.50.7.2 Fan Patch
It seems to work! I've passed the part where the game usually stops. The text is in Italian, the buttons in English ...

Re: Fan Patch 1.50.8 with Launcher 1.1.1
Anyone else having the issue that the sound is not working? Music works fine, and even the ending moive has sound (even with 0 BGM), but game sounds like firing a laser or pushing a button won't play.
I installed it this time with the Launcher, not manually.

Hi,
and playing older patch version, before installing with launcher, soundfx was fine?
also, you are sure that SoundFX bar in Game menu has some blue blocks? just need to ask.

Re: Fan Patch 1.50.8 with Launcher 1.1.1
The last version I installed manually was 1.50.7.2, and there the sounds work perfectly, I just tested it.
I installed 1.50.8 only with the Launcher, and I can enable/disable music, but the normal sounds do not play. Strangely, if I disable Music and have sound enabled the videos at the end have sound, so it's not like the slider has no effect.

Re: Fan Patch 1.50.8 with Launcher 1.1.1
interesting issue.
the Launcher has its own dosbox configuration file.
perhaps the default sound settings in there are not correct for your system.
can you compare the the dosbox configs, especially the [mixer] and [sblaster] settings?
the settings for the 1.50.8 patch can be found in the file \150\dosbox-base.conf.
settings that apply for 1.50.7 are opened with DOSBox 0.74 Options.bat that can be found in your DOSBox installation folder.
-- Mine is under C:\Program Files (x86)\DOSBox-0.74\DOSBox 0.74 Options.bat --
If you notice differences, try making settings in the \150\dosbox-base.conf the same as in your generic DOSBox cfg.

Options in 1.50.7.2
Options in 1.50.8 (commented out are default values):
Still no sound ingame, music still works.
Any more ideas how this could be fixed?
Code: Select all
[mixer]
nosound=false

blocksize=1024
prebuffer=20
[sblaster]
sbtype=sb16
sbbase=220

hdma=5
sbmixer=true
oplmode=auto
oplemu=default
oplrate=44100

Re: Fan Patch 1.50.8 with Launcher 1.1.1
ok, two more ideas;
1.
change in your dosbox-base.conf
oplemu=default
to
oplemu=compat
2.
check what's in the file DIG.INI
does it say:
another version that works on my system is:
This file is normally generated by SETSOUND.EXE, so you can try & experiment with it. Make sure to run it from DOSBox ofc.

Re: Fan Patch 1.50.8 with Launcher 1.1.1
It might happen that you use different dosboxes for 1.50.7.2 and 1.50.8.
1. What is full path to dosbox executable you use to run 1.50.7.2?
2. What package are you using, Steam, GOG, original CD?

Re: Fan Patch 1.50.8 with Launcher 1.1.1
Tried those two ideas as well, still only music, no sound.1.
2.
1.) I copy-pasted the dosbox folder for every different version. The paths are:It might happen that you use different dosboxes for 1.50.7.2 and 1.50.8.

Re: Fan Patch 1.50.8 with Launcher 1.1.1
So launcher might be using system-wide dosbox different from dosboxes in D:\Games\MasterOfOrion2. If that's the case reinstall 1.50.8 specifying D:\Games\MasterOfOrion2\1.50.8\DOSBox-0.74\DOSBox.EXE as dosbox executable path, run via launcher and check sound.1.) I copy-pasted the dosbox folder for every different version. The paths are:2.) Original CD.Code: Select all
D:\Games\MasterOfOrion2\1.50.7.2\DOSBox-0.74 D:\Games\MasterOfOrion2\1.50.8\DOSBox-0.74
If no luck try changing output to surface, I saw opengl lagging on some systems. Not exactly your symptoms but who knows.
If still no luck, try overwriting 1.50.8/150/dosbox-base.conf with dosbox config you used for 1.50.7.2. Identical dosboxes must run with identical configs identically.

Re: Fan Patch 1.50.8 with Launcher 1.1.1
Okay, I found the issue.
The file
was write-protected which caused sounds to not play.
On another note, now that with 1.50 improved the race
Unification [8]; Aquatic [5]; Creative [8]; Large Homeworld [1]
is no longer possible, what custom race do you play when you wanna play a Creative race?

Hi, looong time fan of your great work guys!
I've always run ice-m in MOO2 via dosbox on my Mac. Since launcher doesn't run, i've tried to manually edit the .cfg files but failed bigly. Would appreciate if i could be pointed in the right direction. Thank you!

Re: Fan Patch 1.50.8 with Launcher 1.1.1
Would never have guessed it. Any clue how the file became read-only, or why it not became read-only on previous installations like 1.50.7? Because, on 1.50.7 or 1.40 or any version it would have had the same result of having no sound fx.Okay, I found the issue. [...]
The file you need to edit is 150\ENABLE.CFG.I've always run ice-m in MOO2 via dosbox on my Mac. Since launcher doesn't run, i've tried to manually edit the .cfg files but failed bigly. Would appreciate if i could be pointed in the right direction. Thank you!
Add to it:
enable ICE-M;
And comment out (prepend #) the other lines with enables.
That should do the trick, assuming you have a correct install.

Re: Fan Patch 1.50.8 with Launcher 1.1.1
I recently reinstalled my OS, so some files on my secondary hard drive got write-protected.Would never have guessed it. Any clue how the file became read-only, or why it not became read-only on previous installations like 1.50.7? Because, on 1.50.7 or 1.40 or any version it would have had the same result of having no sound fx.
It is indeed very strange that the file in my 1.31 backup folder got write-protected but not the 1.50.7 folder...
