In a multiplayer game, if peace time is set, after peace time is over the music stops, and only starts up again after the game is over. I do have my own custom music on top of the existing that plays well(I convert each one to mp2), but still, it shouldn't matter. Even deselecting and reselecting the music option does nothing after peace time, swapping tracks, about the only thing I didn't attempt to get it going again was the shuffle option, which was off. I'll try it again later, or if someone else has this problem, that would fore go my need to retest it.

@Krom: I committed a test map "Delivery balance". Place orders for weapons and armour then let it run. When they used all 1000 coal I had: 402 swords, but only 96 armour. The weapon/armour smithies are right next to each other, so you cannot complain that they are too far away. The problem is that iron is only produced at a rate to supply 1 or maybe 1.5 building(s), and that guy uses the iron as soon as the serfs give it to him, so most of the time he gets it all.
Now you could tell me to build another iron mine and iron smelter, but that's no practical in a lot of situations. For example, there might only be one place for iron on the map, you might need to focus your labourers on something else, you might need to share the mines with your allies, etc. etc. Maybe I just want a small number of iron weapons to be made (from one mine) to support my leather/wooden troops. There are many reasons why you might only have one iron mine, and I always find it's hard to get an even mix of weapons/armour.
I do not think the player should have to manage this himself, you should be able to order 999 crossbows and 999 armour and expect to get 50% of each. (in my opinion) The only other option that really works is to order 10 at a time from each building, then order another 10 when all the orders have been completed. But this is an excessive amount of management when I'm probably busy fighting.
I think this shows there is a problem, I'm just not sure how we can fix it...

I tested this map in KaM TPR, and similarly almost all of the iron went to the weapon smithy, no armour was made at all. (64 swords; 4 armour) So the Remake is already as good as (or slightly better than) KaM. Maybe it doesn't need fixing in that case... (I thought this was not a problem in TPR)

Very strange... The music is supposed to fade out when peacetime ends and the "peacetime is over" sound effect plays for a few seconds, then it should fade back in once that sound stops. It works fine for me, I can't reproduce your problem
Were you playing with the sound effect volume at zero? I tried it like that and the sound music still resumed after the sound had finished (even though it was at zero volume) I've now made music fading not occur when the sound effect volume is at zero because that's a bit confusing. (I guess some people want to turn the sound effects off) Have you deleted your Sounds folder or changed any of the WAV files in there? That could cause an issue.
My only other idea is that the file format you used confused the music library and it failed to resume properly. But that sounds very unlikely.

Thanks for reporting this issue.

P.S. In the original situation you reported with peacetime, when does the music come back? After the victory/defeat sound effect? When you returned to the menu? (you said "after the game is over", I just wanted to check what you meant by that)

@Garnu_Thorn: So you are saying you destroyed the tower (while it was half visible) then when you walked there it appeared again? That sounds completely impossible given the way it's coded. Did you know there are 3 towers in the final base in mission 7? Are you sure it wasn't just the 3rd tower you noticed, rather than a reappeared 2nd one?

Well, here, I'll make a map to simulate the effect. And no, that wasn't the third tower. On the whole map, I destroyed six towers, one of them due to "respawning" from a glitch.

Thank you, please send it to me when you've made it. (or you could send a save of mission 7 before the bug occurs)
