Problems: 1)Still no metaverse, 2) Drengin sound problems still exist

Nothing I submit shows up in the Metaverse.

I've read the forums and understood where mistakes are made in submitting. I've typed my Registered Player Name (not GalCiv.com registered name) into the 'Enter you Alias' text box. I've read over the forums time and time again but, still, nothing has been able to help me out.

1) I haven't been able to submit since the game first hit the floors. Just as a matter of fact: I've had to buy two copies of the game. The first was stolen, but I had to have the free upgrade which required a new serial number).
I am sitting behind a nicely protected firewall but most 'gaming' ports are open.

2) Secondly, I've re-installed XP twice since I owned the game and I still get major distortion when I Trade with The Dregin Empire. I've downloaded the Microsoft encoding/decoding package that is available in Downloads. Certain codecs are installed onto my OS so I can view my own videos.
It doesn't directly affect game-play but it is starting to affect my trade with the DE. It's a real pain in the ass to always have pitch the sound down!

Jun2hundy, I've e-mailed you regarding your metaverse submissions.

As for the sound, I think that someone posted a resampled mp3 with quieter drengin music.

Does that link work? If not, search for drengin in the library.

CariElf,

Thanks for the immediate reply. It's gives us smaller game developers some hope when we see such great dedication for a game.

I've e-mailed you back in reply to your e-mail addressing the problems I'm experiancing but there were a couple of things I didn't mention.

Browsing the Music folder, I can play every .mp3 file there is, excepting WAR.mp3 and YERPRIZE.mp3. I've tried using different players but none of them are able to decode ('Unsupported data type').

Which leads to me being a bit of an idiot: Which .mp3 am I to replace? I can't hear which is which!

I'll try replacing certain .mp3 instances with my own sound clips to figure out which is which.

Until then, thanks for the help!

The YerPrize.mp3 is 0 KB, I think.  It's not actually used.  War.mp3 is used. Is the one you can't play in the music folder or the event music folder?  The drengin music is race01.mp3.
