Music vs. Sound Effects?

It seems that disabling the music also disables all sound in the game. Is this intentional, or is it a bug?

It would be HIGHLY desirable to be able to turn off the music but leave the sound effects enabled. (A volume control for the sound effects would be a nice plus as well -- they're incredibly quiet.)

------------------

Well 1st question I think it is a bug and second if you don't want music go to (url="http://"http://www.ambrosiasw.com/games/uplink/addons.html")http://www.ambrosias...ink/addons.html(/url) and download the music file.

That's how it is for the PC, so therefore it's how it works on the mac.

If it's just a game, and life is all a game, then isn't the game real life?

Thanks for that; I hadn't looked at the add-ons just yet.

Unfortunately, using the empty music file seems to give me the same net effect as turning off music: A completely silent game. I'm not sure what the story is there.

------------------

The PC version actually has a working option to disable the music only, but it seems that was not ported well. The file in the addons doesn't seem to work for most people, sorry. 🙂

It is not a bug, it is a limitation of the game engine. This may be fixed in future releases.

This is infact a bug with the port (see my previous post). The original game engine (PC/Linux) works correctly. 🙂

Not many people seem to agree with this. Myself, not having played the PC version, dont know how it was on the PC, but I assume it was fixed in one of the patches?
