I don't know if the transition music can be disabled or not, but

The MP community does not seem very welcoming.  It seems like they don't actually want to play, which is counter-productive concidering how few people play online anymore.

However, if you can get established and play a few games, you're pretty much gonna get into the majority of open matches.

And I'm not saying nobody will play with noobs.  Some people do.  I wouldn't even mind playing you sometime,  but sadly, my laptop died yesterday.

Don't feel bad about all the time spent on single player.  Unless you are severely raping the AI, I don't feel that Multiplayer really has anything new to offer, except games that are over in less than an hour.

Bummer, well I got trinity, my longest game was a 12 hour session with 6 AI's and I hade one as ally later in the game, who ofcourse backstabbed me later on but didn't do much damage apart from -600 fleet points

I guess it has the same issue as Supreme Commander / Forged Alliance, awsome game, so little players.

I will try this week to see how it is online.

As for the ability with combat music, the only thing I found was that you can tick something with Volume

( cool smilies, on this forum! )

You could remove the sound if you wish by way of mod. Or changed it to something else by way of mod.

You can go to the Options -> Mods menu screen and click the file path to find the mods folder

Navigate to the mod folder (enable show hidden files and folders to see AppData)

Once in the mod folder, create a folder a name it "My Music" or something. 

Copy (NOT CUT) the Sound folder from the SoaSE root folder and paste the folder into your mod folder.

Now you can edit or replace any event sound or music track in the ...\My Music\Sound folder and will play in game once you enable the mod.

I have 4 soundtracks for easy loading as a stackable mod because I to get tiered of the same music playing.

There are a few different sound editors that can convert to .ogg files. SoaSE uses 128kb/sec, 441000 stereo for music and 128kb/sec, 441000  mono for event sounds.

WinAmp is a free player that will play .ogg files.

This helped a lot! Thanks! No more ADHD combat music!

Ill try to get some matches going on monday or next weekend, I hope there will be people on and I hope that I can get on it myself. Time will tell!

But it seems okay, when I get a few posts rather quick!

Die, Smurfs, Die

There are different times people get on and there of course is less on the weekdays.  Many players play offline for whatever reason.  If your having trouble finding members to play with try looking for tournys that happen on the weekend I think the DS team holds a tourny every weekend or so, with MOD of course.

Okay, hope to catch people then, quite late though but I will see, I shall try, it is worth it because it's a great game.

What MOD btw, I can probably find it but well, if someone hade time and I didnt yet, always welcome!

Found it, sounds interesting, hope it works well with AI too..

It's Sunday evening 9:39 PM and none online   The player list is very emty

Speaking of the map compilation, I'd better get around to the third revision; I have a lot of pending maps and I've got to decide how we're going to manage all these submissions.  In the meantime, it's a highly recommended download.

We don't actually have too many multistars, unfortunately.  They're time consuming to make because galaxyforge lacks a copy/paste functionality.

That's a surprisingly common mistake.

It is fine now, thanks, I didnt know that you needed to make a name, ' Add Player'  I thought it was friend list... very strange that thing

Already got two matches, kind of laggy so far but at least human players are fun !
