Hello,
I have been replaying MM6-8 over years and years and am still loving this great game series - they are probably my favorites of all time (6-8).
One of the main things that I enjoy about the MM games is the music, and I want it to loop continuously. The vanilla Gog.com versions are now doing that. Yay, Gog.com!
The Grayface patch for the games is *supposed* to do that by setting "Music loops=0" in the .ini file. However, on many operating systems, including any of mine on which I've ever tried to use the Grayface patch, this feature does not work. In fact, it cuts off the music altogether by default, until one creates a new folder in the game folder called "music" and does some mp3 conversion, copying, and pasting into the newly created "music" folder - luckily, the Gog.com vanilla versions give you the mp3 files ready made. Again, yay Gog.com!
I brought this issue up at the Celestial Heavens forum years ago. The famous Emerald Knight replied and told me that it was a known issue, and that it was unlikely to ever be resolved, since "Grayface" had long ago moved on and never looked back.
So, my question in this topic would be, has anyone, or Gog.com, found a way to install the Grayface patch over the Gog.com version of the game, without turning off the infinite music looping?
This is a total deal breaker for me vis a vis Grayface. I would *love* to be able to play MM6 and MM7 with the Grayface patch, but if I can't infinitely loop the beatific music by Paul Romero, then I'll just have to do without and play the vanilla Gog.com versions.
And one more time, YAY Gog.com for looping that music in the default downloads!
