[GabrielMendesAvilaSa]

the menuvideo looks awesome could ya tell me the link or the name of it?

and you got a mudcrab behind you ._.

[animedude34]

Got it to work exactly how it was described, but using a rat instead, any-who great tut.

[Rubytyr]

Worked like a charm :D ...

[recoveryprankcalls]

can i cancel it only for dungens? i kinda love battle music when in the arena or outside or quests. only in the dungens that sucks

[Murulo]

@recoveryprankcalls No since it's a bug to get the music working like this... there is no real control over it. It's just by pure luck that it works so perfectly in removing battle music seemlessly.

[oblivious12123]

what music is that?

[MouthofSaurons]

easier way: turn music volume to 0...

[Murulo]

No. Since that gets rid of ALL music.

[lukeybobaflobby]

cool

[turokdarkstar]

So this is it? The only way to remove battle music is to use a finicky bug? argh..

[C0DZ0R]

Typing in tmm 1 in console gives you all locations is the game.

[genjikaka]

thank u!

[kunigas123]

damn! I did this, worked pretty well... after a week or so i came back to the sewers to do the thieves quest, was still ok, then after i moved to shivering isles and done the first dungeon, as soon as i walked out of there, i started to get the fading music thing as shown in the beginning and it is very, very annoying. Any simple fight and the music restarts, it takes the fun out of the game =/

is there a way to fix this again? i don't have the "battle" folder any more.

[Murulo]

Follow the link in the video description on the right here. Read the 'Remember' stuff in Step 1.

[hellopeeps8686]

how is your map like that?

[balcake9]

Capital indeed, Murulo.

[LAM7296]

Nice vid! 4/5, me personsally i like the battle music. but still good 2 know! XD woot u made another awesome vid!

[Murulo]

Normally, I do get everything normally since I hardly ever use quick travel. But since this was a test character to speed up showing the bug, I used the "TMM" command in the console. "TMM 1" TMM stands for ToggleMapMarkers.

[razamancentinel]

ye thats pretty nice and stuff but how can u have a good battle without battle music man.

[Brinksofsims]

Well there was once a band called Linkin PArk and everyone thought putting their songs onto a video equalled BAD ASSNESS. This is why we go realistic and either delete our music or dress up like he Dark Knight download the soundtrack and beat the crap out of every villian with our fists.

[Siona512]

Thanks a million for this tutorial, Murulo!!!! I had that annoying "restarting music" issue, and since I'm kinda slow, I didn't really get it at first, but you're video made it all crystal clear! Thank you!!!!

[Siona512]

Sorry, make that "your video"... I hate spelling mistakes! =*)

[Incogneatus]

I noticed the same bug (just) happened to me in Fallout 3. Damnit.

[Murulo]

Without deleting the battle folder? I actually like this bug in Oblivion though.

I guess it makes sense that it's in Fallout 3 due to it being the same engine. Strange that it doesn't require the deletion though... it seems like they tried to make the battle music a little more dynamic in when it starts due to 'pereception' and all that... Guess this bug throws a spanner in the works.

[Incogneatus]

It might have to do with the Pip Boy Radio being uninterruptable. WHen you turn it on, the Explore, Public, and battle music is disabled. When I turned it off and got into a fight, it was as though it was treating the explore music like the radio station.

[Incogneatus]

Oh and when the explore track ended, I think the battle music was enabled again, but usually the fight is over.

[Murulo]

Ah yea, that makes sense with the radio music. It seems to be some variant of the bug found in Oblivion.

The Oblivion bug is permanent once activated. Although the music will work as it always did if you decide to restore the Battle Music folder, deleting it again after that won't require a 'reactivation'. Which is sort of a good thing, since I doubt anyone enjoys listening to an ever restarting track.

It's all a bit weird.

[TastyRazor]

is there a way to change the folder so instead o battle musi you can import a music file and make it play like...... scream metal????

[obliviwind]

lol to confused people?

[Incogneatus]

Too bad there isn't a utility that lets the battle music play to completion before returning to the explore music.(like Morrowind's FPS Optimizer)(as far as I know)

[Murulo]

There seems to be only mods out there trying to do the opposite, like this bug, which seems funny... a bug gets it perfect while many mods struggle.

You might want to check out 'Enhanced Music Control', I've not read into it too much but at least that allows the battle music to pick up where it last stopped. 'Immersive Music' and 'Musical Immersion' may be worth a look at too.

[sigilkeeper]

the music you got on teh loading screen was good

[ICEbweaka9]

My Oblivion music got deleted and I can't figure out how to get it back. So unfortunately I can't use this. :(

[Murulo]

That's not really a problem. Just go to .../Oblivion/Data/Music and create a folder called 'Battle'. And put ANY .mp3 in there that you like. It doesn't matter what music plays to do this.

[ICEbweaka9]

Thanks.

[ICEbweaka9]

How do you get it to play though because I did that but I don't know how to play the music.

[Murulo]

Huh, sorry, I don't get what the problem is. Music played is dependant on which folder it is in...

/Oblivion/Data/Music/Explore for outside in the wilderness.

/Oblivion/Data/Music/Dungeon for dungeons and caves.

/Oblivion/Data/Music/Public for cities.

/Oblivion/Data/Music/Battle for fights.

You can ONLY use mp3s I believe.

[Murulo]

Nevermind, I thought you said to start with that only the battle music is deleted. If you're missing ALL of the music go to tesnexus in the link in my description and search for 'Official Oblivion Music'. You can re-download all the standard oblivion tracks there.

[projectshad]

thanks for the informative vid murulo now no battle music =)

[Murulo]

Ah! So it worked for you, yes? You might be the first one to confirm to me that it's doesn't just work for me. ;o

[gamedude334]

how did you get all the map markers?

[Murulo]

"tmm 1" in the console.

[gamedude334]

ok thx

[misjif2341]

Oh yes i am! I won a mental medal!

[raditztheradish]

Oh wow, hmm.

This is pretty nifty! Gotta try this. :D

[Murulo]

Would be great if you could let me know if it works for you! I've yet to confirm it with someone else.

I've tested this on 3 new characters and it seems to always work... so I hope it's not just something with my version of the game. :P

[feczor]

nice!!!

[misjif2341]

First

[Murulo]

Hmm, I'd suggest waiting until YouTube has provided a high quality link before watching.

The writing is a bit hard to see on the standard low quality. ;X
