| Alright, I want to use some midi files I found off the internet for my game I'm making (is that leagal?) . I know Midi files can be a pain in the butt. I dont really wanna pay 30$ for a converter into mp3 or wav. backroundmusic2 = PlayMusic ( file$ + "themusic.mid" ) If backroundmusic2 = 0 Then RuntimeError "music didnt load" EndIf (Sorry i know know how to get those pretty blue boxes around the code) The music never loads. Does anyone know where to get a free midi converter or possibly how to get blitz to load the music? |

| Your syntax is correct, so the problem must lie elsewhere, such as incorrect file path, file name, or corrupt file. Apparantly you haven't checked out: http://www.mp3recorder.biz/ |

| is playing a midi file a new type of thing that i would need to update b3d for? i'd bet $100 that the file path/name is right becuase i've checked it a trillion times. The file isnt corrupt becuase i can play it in Windows media player. i have checked out many midi to mp3/wav converter but they all cost money. money i dont have :( |

| mp3recorder is a free trial! I've used it to convert my own .midi files. Move 'themusic.mid' to the same folder as your blitz executable. Then try your code (obviously without the "file$+" part) and see what results you get. Midi files are not a pain in the butt. I want to use some midi files I found off the internet for my game I'm making (is that leagal?) . Usually, NO. Read my Copyright FAQ in my signature for more info. (Sorry i know know how to get those pretty blue boxes around the code) You could read [ faq 2 ]: What are the forum codes? |

| Well im thinking that its actully blitz itslef that's got the problem. I've tried like 8 different midi files and none of them ever work. I still cant figure why they won't play. I've tried making the code into a exe, debug on, debug off, and everything in between. It just doesnt work. |

| Send me a .midi file and I will try it. Blitz is fine. Midi files work fine for me. |
| ||
| Ok I sent 2 mid files to your email, check it out when you get a chance. I have looked in the forum achives and it seems im not the only one who has had this problem |
| ||
| Works fine for me. Note that I have version 1.87 of Blitz3D. |
| ||
| Well i have Version 1.91 and it seems never to work. I suppose the question why will remain un-answered for a while, unless somebody else can give a reason why. |
| ||
| Do you have any trouble playing other kinds of files (.wav, .mp3, .ogg)? |
| ||
| no i only have problems with mid files |
