workaround for music volume being reset to 0 Thread - S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Chernobyl mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat

In Call of Chernobyl , at least in version 1.4.22 as i can't say for further versions, there was a problem with the music volume that could sometime be reset to 0 , it could happen during a transition between map levels, when you quickloaded , changing the game option and clicking apply/ok, etc...

Very annoying if you played with music and dynamic battle music. Of course if you played without music you would never notice

I found a workaround that has been working so far for me without any problem.

In your ...\gamedata\scripts\ folder , if you have a ui_sr_teleport.script , continue to read, if you don't have such file (only a few addons may have added it) just extract it from the scripts.db located in your ...\database\config\ folder

So edit the ui_sr_teleport.script file , in the very beginning of the script just after

-- basic dynamic msg_box
-- alundaio

local ini = ini_file("sr_teleport_sections.ltx")

add

get_console():execute("snd_volume_music 1.")

so it looks like

-- basic dynamic msg_box
-- alundaio

local ini = ini_file("sr_teleport_sections.ltx")
get_console():execute("snd_volume_music 1.")

Save the changes, now everytime the game will load a level (a quickload load the level too) it will reset the music to volume 1 (the maximum) , preventing you to lose the music for some reason.

Of course, put the modified ui_sr_teleport.script in your ...\gamedata\scripts\ to benefit from the changes

NOTE : if you want to play with a lesser music volume, just change the number in

get_console():execute("snd_volume_music 1.")

by example if you want to play the music at half the volume, just have that line

get_console():execute("snd_volume_music 0.5")
