BR-LS_Spookyville for UT2003? It still works for other custom maps and it worked for this one yesterday but not today. I already reinstalled all the map files (not deleting the files first though) and restarted the game and the computer with no luck. Any ideas? Thank you.

OK, I did delete all the files, defragged and then installed the map again and the music worked but then I turned on the Jack... mutator and it stopped again. WTF!!???

Completely off topic:

You want to play with the music disabled so you can hear your opponents footsteps / ambient sounds / weapons / dodging / etc... so you know where they are and nobody will be able to sneak up behind you.

I play with music on and I never had a problem hearing these things.

It's all about "tuning it out."

SkaarjMaster: If the music works without that mutator, but not with it, that's very odd. Music isn't a required package - indeed, you could put any Ogg file with the filename the map is expecting, and it will play whatever Ogg is there.

The only way I could think of it conflicting is if the mutator somehow changes the music name... but I'm not even sure if mutators can do that.

This a Halloween map in which the music is about 60% of the atmosphere, so in this case the music really needs to be on.:) I doubt the mutator is disabling the music file, because that last time was the first time I had it on. At least I got to play one complete match with the music on, but without the Jack... mutator. All other Halloween-themed maps with music for the other UT series games (UT, UT2003, UT2004 and UT3) I have installed all work except this one. I'm certainly not going to reinstall UT2003 just for this one map, but if anyone has any good ideas why this is happening it would be nice to solve this problem? Otherwise, I'll be bitching about it next Halloween.;)
