In all versions that I ever have no music but .ogg files are copied.

 

1) Download music from http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/u...se_mirror=space

2) Unpack and copy .ogg files to "newmusic" folder

3) Start Ufo2000 and nothing music... but sounds are played

 

In ufo2000.ini:

...

# music volume (from 0 to 255)

music_volume = 250

# soundtracks for background music

menu_music = $(ufo2000)/newmusic/gmstory.ogg

setup_music = $(ufo2000)/newmusic/gmenbase.ogg

editor_music = $(ufo2000)/newmusic/gmdefend.ogg

combat_music1 = $(ufo2000)/newmusic/gmstory.ogg

combat_music2 = $(ufo2000)/newmusic/gmstory.ogg

win_music = $(ufo2000)/newmusic/gmlose.ogg

lose_music = $(ufo2000)/newmusic/gmlose.ogg

net_music1 = $(ufo2000)/newmusic/gmgeo.ogg

net_music2 = $(ufo2000)/newmusic/gmgeo.ogg

...

 

System is WinXP Pro SP3

It's a problem related to DUMB library which was initially used for music playback in UFO2000. DUMB version which we have been using suffers from a security vulnerability (an audio file modified in a special way can theoretically trigger arbitrary code execution when the game tries to play it). Upgrading to a newer fixed version is not easy because they changed API, so this library has been just disabled.

 

It is not a good state of things for sure and we will try to add music support back.
