Santa Monica Theme not playing

Anyone else missing the santa monica theme when you install CE 1.5?

I only have CE1.5, no other mods. For some reason there's no music in santa monica. I've installed and reinstalled, and the issue persists. Any ideas?

The theme is definitely in the santamonica music directory, although now it's called "santa_monica_theme2" and theres the additional file "open season" as well, which i know is the restored cut music


Edit: I havent figured out why it's happening, but I did do a quick fix which seems to work. I copied the "Santa_monica_theme2" mp3 and pasted it into the new clubmusic directory, and renamed it "smhub_1"

seemed to do the trick.


Edit2: Ok, I go to the beach, and the same thing happens. Music not playing. I dont understand... Hmph, this didnt happen last time I played. im sure its probably my fault, as I havent seen this bug reported yet, but i cant figure it out

Please open \vampire\python\vamputil.py, scroll down until you get to the custom music part, and tell me what you have in the first smhub block, the one that contains the "vanilla" entry.

-

elif(club == "smhub"):
gmusic = G.Music_SMHub
if(G.ComeFromSMHub ==2): gmusic -= 1
vanilla = "\\Vampire\\sound\\music\\Santa_Monica\\Santa_Monica_Theme2.mp3"
G.ComeFromSMHub = 1



is that what you wanted to see?



elif(club == "beach"):
gmusic = G.Music_Beach
vanilla = "\\Vampire\\sound\\music\\Come Around (Unused).mp3"
if(G.ComeFromSMHub == 1):
fileutil.copyfile(fileutil.getcwd() + "\\Vampire\\sound\\music\\clubs\\music.mp3", fileutil.getcwd() + "\\Vampire\\sound\\music\\clubs\\glazecombat1.mp3")
G.ComeFromSMHub = 2

theres the beach too if that helps any. i stopped playing at that point so im not sure if the problem continues later on in the game or not

Yep, that's the one. And it looks completely right to me. Next step should be to check that you have write allowance on the hard disk you installed the game on, and no read only flag set on the files or directories.
And delete your vamputil.pyc, and see if it recompiles on the next game start.

If all works right, you should get the same music as in Santa Monica as background on the beach, and the thinblood-radio should play the other one.
Oh, and check out the Asylum and the diner as well, please.

Ok its probably the write allowance, Windows 7 can be a bitch about that. I'll check it out and post back shortly, thanks


Edit: I moved my bloodlines directory over to program files instead of program files(86x) because for some reason it's not as mean when it comes to write allowance, and it worked like a charm! Thank you!!!!!!!

Glad to hear that it works now.

On the downside though, the more people use win7, the more will get problems like this. And not all of them know how to deal with it. But I don't want to toss away a nice feature like the custom music just because of these idiots from MicroJunk.

Agreed. I guess it might be worth mentioning it in the next readme, though. That will at least help those smart enough to check it. The rest... may Caine have mercy on their souls!

If not, I could always reclaim their unworthy blood for Haq... Er, Ennoia I ment of course

I should shatter their mirror. Or better their Windows.
