Music and Double Starting

[Dark Phoenix]

I just finished my first TMD mission - Mission 1 of No Honor Among Thieves and I absolutely loved it. I played it on easy to get used to the feel of the mod.

 

I have a couple of problems however. I don't like music in stealth games. I believe it takes away from my concentration. I notice there is no music slider as such, but the Ambient Sound Slider seems to control this. If I turn down the slider, the music goes away once I'm back in the game.. But the music will pop back on now and then.. To fix this, I have to go and turn the Ambient Sound slider up again then turn it back down, then return to the game. I have to do this over and over.

 

Is there another way to disable music entirely?

 

On starting the Mod sometimes I have to click on the launcher twice before it loads. The first time, I do see the Win 7 animated circle, (working/thinking Icon) and then nothing. If I then click the launcher again, the game loads fine.

 

What is going on here?

 

I'm using Win 7 64 bit with 4 gigabytes of ram and an ATI 5750 1 gig ddr5 video card.

 

Thanks !

I'm very interested in the audio slider problem myself, and unless I'm thinking of the wrong thing, it is a known issue/cause (and possibly even a solution). I'm asking as I don't see it on the tracker (at least not a new issue since the original issue requesting the feature) and don't have personal experience with it at this moment. Team or anyone with knowledge on the topic: is it that this comes down to the mapper setting a property on a sound, and if they missed it, the problem will occur? Or is this a mod bug? If the latter we need to track it.

Having to launch TDM twice is almost certainly because Doom3 was still running. I get this sometimes if I am running TDM and exit then relaunch within a few seconds - it just gives up. In the past I've checked this and can see doom3.exe still running in taskmanager. When it closes it takes a few seconds for it to actually end the program even though visibly it's gone.
