Disabling the music?

I think the best bet is opening the exe in resource hacker, and deleting the music files. It should work... maybe.

 

Well actually you can delete all the <CMUxxxx commands

6. Get flamed by SP

I can read deleted messages ;P

why would you ever want to not listen to cave story music?!!!

 

When he'd rather listen to Never Die or Ball of Ballos during a hell run without the default music playign the the BG.

Neither remixes are quite as appropriate as RH. Sacred Groundz requires something that's dark and fast at the same time. Running Hell beats everything there. So, yeah, I agree with DrumUltima.

That, or listen to Battle Without Honor or Humanity when facing the Doctor (or Misery, or...heck, pick a boss).

After all, there is other music besides the Remix Project.

 

Yes. And it's one's personal preference. :/

 

Well, as long as you've heard and appreciated Pixel's music, I don't see any reason why you shouldn't disable.

Is there a way to disable the music in Cave Story?

I'd like to play it while playing my own music, but also still hear the sound effects.

Using the volume controls effects the entire PC, so I won't be able to hear anything if I turn those down.

I was thinking if there are music files in the folders, I could rename or move them but I don't know which are the music files.

It's not that I really dislike the music, I just don't want to hear it during my play of it.

I found an easy way to disable the music
Just open Doukutsu.exe in a hex editor (backup first!), go to address 0x20ee0 and change 55 to c3, this makes the "change music" subroutine exit early (RETN) and never set the music

note: this is not the same as disabling the CMU TSC-flag, if you just disable every CMU or manually edit them out, you still get music when you start and in the title screen, just not when the events themselves change the music (that's what the CMU is for)

*gives cookie to above poster*

k, thread ova.

 

Hehe. It's actually pretty fun playing cave story with your favorite music on, and it's nice for speedrunning, now if only I could make the text display instantly...

 

Erm there is a TSC command to do that...

Just... I forgot what it was... o.o

and.... too lazy... *sleepzzzzz*

 

Open it up in Sues workshop, or whatever, and add the script "<SAT" before every event.

I know there's a TSC command for it, but does it actually work? And have you actually tried it? Because the TSC document notes this:

Instant text display on all messages until END (glitches scrolling text)

Anyway, I've tried making MSG behave exactly as TUR, it made the text instant, but you could not see the text (no dialog box)

edit: I prefer not editing TSC scripts to accomplish my task, because it can be done more efficiently by hacking the executable (instant text or faster text rendering)..

Seems like a lot of work when most pc's have a volume control...

Unless you still want the SFX...

Nevermind.
Forget I said it.

 

Oooooh, I want all the sound gone! even the sound effects! The above method mentioned bye cookie works well, but of course, the sound effects are still there! Does someone have a similar method to cookie's that get's rid of sound effects too? Many thanks in advance!

 

right-click speaker icon in taskbar
press open volume mixer
mute "doukutsu.exe"
this may not work on older operating systems.

 

Or just turn off the volume on your computer, obviously...
