Volume settings - startbutton related?

[therealmosha]

ive been bugged for a long time with this annoything thing:

evrytime i start up eq2 it loads the same volume settings, overwriting my previous changes to either options-menu or directly vis /music_volume /combat_music_volume

the thing is: id like both set to zero, im now using a macro for that, but thats.. erm... you know

i wondered, whether this was related to your startbutton mod with the volume thingies?

the other 'dirty' hack i found to fix my problem was to rename the \music\ folder. but unfortunately i have to re-rename it when patching eq2 is due, otherwise itd redownload the mp3s (expected behaviour tho')

can i make any change to the mainhud_startbutton file to always set both music volumes to zero?

Try what is posted in the Customization thread, which is stickied at the top of this board: Link

ok, tried that now, had zero effect :/ (been restarting eq2 multple times since change to said xml file)

If you don't use the special startbutton features, just delete or rename eq2ui_mainhud_startbutton.xml in your Fetish folder and it'll use the default one, which also won't change your volume settings.

Sorry I can't help any more than suggesting the info in the FAQ but I personally use the default that I've modded to use the FetishClassic image. Looks nice and does exactly what I need it to do, open the Start Menu

In the current configuration of the eq2ui_mainhud_startbutton.xml file you cannot save your volume settings.... below is the code i substituted in the file to zero out my music and combat music volume... the settings are static and will reset your volume settings each time you log in.

Looking at that code, just remove the Value="X" from the XML and it will actually save your last settings in game.
