hello my fellow BW-fans, today I'll explain a easier way to have your CD work in UT2004

1st- put music in slot.

2nd- a window will pop up, click on the tab that says "play audio CD in WMP (windows media player)

3rd- pause the song you're on

4th- start ut2k4

5th- go to options and click full screen

6th- BEFORE you click minimize, go to audio and make the music go mute.

7th- minimize ut2004, then press play.

8th- go back to UT2004, then click full screen.

9th- play a map with your favorite CD!!

if this in the wrong section please move this

!lol

Have fun!

That seems awfully complex for something so simple.

Here is how would do it:

1) Put CD into the drive
2) Use my favorite media player to start playing the CD
3) Launch UT2004 and mute in-game music
4) Enjoy the game

8)

EDIT: And I don't suggest Windows Media Player with UT2004, it is unnecessarily heavy on resources plus WMP is plain crap, weak output and clumsy interface. Those with slower computers or those who want a better media player, I strongly recommend XMPlay. It has excellent output audio quality and supports more audio formats than WMP ever will. And not to mention it uses barely any resources.

Wow, how oddely simple.

My system

1: Play music from a speakers or some stereo system not plugged into yonder PC.
2: start up UT2k4 and enjoy.

That works too, at least if you have another set of speakers and an external audio player.

xD

1. Copy all music from ur CD to a drive.
2. Trash ur CD. (not entirely neccesary)
3. Start UT2k4.
4. Hit F11
5. Add a playlist.
6. Play UT2k4 and the music.

And then if you ever want to listen the same playlist again, just follow step 4 and 6.

And to anyone reading this post; skip step 2.

Thanks Bulska you saved me alot of writing.

But I still have this bit of writing left:

[size=20px]UT2004 has an MP3 player! [/size]

As far as I know, it can't play mp3s that have ID3v2 data in the header, or maybe it dislikes both ID3v1 and 2.
Then again, I haven't checked out the player since version 3339 or even longer.

I know Ut had a player but It doesn't play some of my songs and crashes on some of them and I want my music to play on through not be interrupted by loading screens and have to start the whole thing over

Try remove all metadata from the mp3s (metadata = tags, like artist, song title, album, etc.) and see what happens.

But yeah, I greatly prefer streaming music with a seperate media player for the same reasons.

okay so you have better ideas, but overall is it a good idea?

discuss.

Of course, if you like music during gameplay it would certainly spice it up to play while listening to your favorite music.

Exactly, it doesn't matter if you have WMP or realplayer, it just the fact it can play fave CD's.
Author:  Bjossi [ Mon Jun 11, 2007 2:58 pm ]
Post subject:  How to have a cd work in UT2k4...
That actually does matter, if you consider output quality and performance that is.

ok then...

Well, I a actually confused and enlightened at once here.

First off, UT2004 can play directly from CD, is that what you're saying?

Second, I may have just realized why UT2004 runs slow on my compy.

Third, all this time I thought UT2004 can only play .ogg files. :P
My bad. :D

Though it doesn't like mp3s as much as oggs.

Does SS2 refer to Serious Sam 2 or System Shock 2? ;)
