Hi there,
I'm new to the Build ports, only just discovered them a few days ago and I think they're brilliant. It's been years since I've played any build games. I got everything to work perfectly fine but was just wondering if there is any way to change the drive letter that jfSW looks for the CD in.
I like to mount a backup CD image of the game CD to my virtual drive so the music plays from the hard drive. I do this coz I like to eliminate spin up time and spinning noise, (my DVD drive's kinda loud), but the original Shadow Warrior and obviously jfSW looks for the CD in drive D: which is my real CD drive. My virtual drive is drive E: or can be anything else up to Z:
As it stands if I want to get the game to read the CD image from my virtual drive I have to go into Computer Management and change my real CD drive to E: and the virtual drive to D: Then I have to change them back if I want to play a game from an actual CD coz most games look for CDs in drive D:
Is there a value in any file that can be edited that would make the game look for the CD in drive E: or something else instead of D? I looked in the SW.cfg file and there's a value at the bottom that says CDDevice = -1. I tried changing it to a few different numbers but it did nothing. Is there a command line parameter I could add to SW.exe's shortcut maybe? Something like /cdmusic E: or something to that effect. (BTW cdmusic E: doesn't work unfortunately :lol: )
Thanks in advance

well
I don't think so.. jfsw hasn't been updated for quite a long time, plus, these forums are
pretty quiet due to inactivity in jonof's ports.
you can always come to our chatroom, which is reachable through my website's

Can you change the CD drive letter jfSW plays music from?
Try changing that CDDevice value in the config file to 4. A is 0, B is 1, etc.

Nah, changing the number next to CDDevice doesn't do anything no matter what you put there. Put something other than a number though and after the program is run it gets set back to 0 in the cfg.
A few people have mentined there will be .ogg or even .mp3 support in the future. Would this include playing the original tracks from the hard drive if you rip them from the cd to the program folder for instance? I have mp3 versions of the soundtrack anyway, would it be possible in the future if you named the files track1, track2 and so on, that the game would know which song to play for each level? Like Blood has an ini file where you can easily change the cd track or midi song for each individual level.
