How to re enable the menu music in the Camarilla Edition?
I remember the modmaker said he disabled it because it plays on top of the background music in some areas, which is true but rare and doesn't bother me. I pause often and I enjoy having it in the background.

The instructions on how to re enable were once on planetvampire.com but the forums are down now. I've looked through the files and can't find and references to the menu music. Any help is much appreciated.

"chareditor.txt - Chooses the music that plays and the volume level during character creation and the menu screen."

This what it looks like in my UP plus vdata/system file:
CharEditor { Music "music/Vampire_Theme.mp3" Music_Volume "1.0" }

Damn, I had totally forgotten about that site.

https://camarillaedition.darkbb.com/t2140-turning-off-the-music-when-you-open-the-character-screen?highlight=menu+music

In the sound scheme....You want to add the line "NoPause" "0" to the music at the top in the first entry. That tells it to pause the music playing when you open the character sheet.

Neato, there would be no need to disable the menu music due to doubling in the first place... but I'm not sure where to find the place to RE-enable it. Somewhere in those schemes there must be at least one "0" that disables the "vampire_theme" from everywhere except the title screen. I feel like I remember only having to edit one line in one txt. Hopefully there isn't one or more per scheme, eek.

Thank you very much. I will keep fiddling with it until wesp inevitably comes along to save the day lol

I looked at some of the sound/scheme files in my Unofficial Patch Plus installation, and those that I examined had the "no pause" entry at the top.

It seems like the CE creator decided to remove the menu music as a stylistic choice while wesp just paused the bgm and kept the menu music. It might not be possible to simply re-enable the music in Camarilla Edition then.
The author of this thread has indicated that this post answers the original topic.

That was it! The volume was simply muted. Thank you so much.

fyi for anyone else searching this up: It'll still play potential bgm on top unless you go into the scheme txts and change all the "Nopause" from 1 to 0.
