I'm having problems with a simple music cog.
2004-04-02, 3:24 PM #1
Code: 
# Simple cog to loop a bit of music ingame
# 03/2004 gbk
Symbols
Message Startup
Sound Music
End
Code
Startup:
Playsoundglobal(Music, 1, 0, 0x1);
Stop;
End


Well, as you can see, it's as simple as it gets (it's multiplayer btw). I seem to have a slight problem though. While the music I'm using play's fine in regualar Jedi Knight, I can't be sure if it can can be heard by the other players as well as the host. If there's some simple way to synch it for universal, continuous play in mp, I'd be much obliged.

Another slight issue, is the music doesn't seem to play at all with other mods. I tried out the level with SSR 4000 Pro, and there was none to be heard whatsoever. If there is a way someone knows how to correct these marginal errors, I'd be much obliged if they took a moment to modify the code.

Thanks! [http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif]

Here's an idea. Before symbols, add flags=0x240, then change PlaySoundGlobal to PlaySoundLocal.

As for your mod issue, I don't know...

Local? But that would have the opposite effect wouldn't it? Either that or whoever wrote that bit of cog was dyslexic. I'm sorry that just doesn't make sense to me - perhaps you could explain Edward. Thanks.

As for any reason why the music didn't work with the mod, anyone got any ideas? It's occurred to me that maybe it had something to do with the fact SSR 4000 Pro comes with music, that can be played via a hotkey. I guess I could check the level with a mod not containing music?

Yep. It turns out SSR 4000's music may have had something to do with it, 'cuz the music played fine with SBX 3.0

Well, I guess it's not a major issue, now I would just appreciate it if Edward could explain to me what I'm supposed to do and how it works. Forgive my newbieishness (intersting word).

OK... Now, you're making a level where you place a music COG. Now, the COG isn't attached to any player, and so 0x240 would be local, to all players. I'm sure of this. I've done it before... Look for my level called Pipe Lines, and look for a COG called modding.cog. That COG is local, and it works on all players. I know, I've tried it.

Edward is right. It makes no sense to synchronize music for all players. Or are you planning to create some kind of dance game, where you have to do the right moves according to the music?

Is spacing and stuff okay?

Heh, spacing in cog is irrelevent. JK ignores whitespace. In fact, you could put the whole cog on one line and JK wouldnt care...

Not intirely true. The symbols still need new lines because they don't have ;.
