Re: Media Player Sound Replacement - Rezeyu - 11-08-2007
Eh, I tried using it, and when you hit the decimal to bring up the list, everything you used is there, but every .command gives me RTE 5.
I had to add WMP as a component to use it.
I Googled to find a solution, but it seems alot of Vista users can't use it properly.
Re: Media Player Sound Replacement - Robin - 11-08-2007
Ouch. God Vista is annoying. Making me have to go... legally buy it... just to debug my code >
Re: Media Player Sound Replacement - Rezeyu - 11-08-2007
I just added the component, and use frmMirage.WindowsMediaPlayer.URL = filename it plays automatically, and works the same as yours, allowing normal media player to keep playing.

There's really nothing wrong with Vista. I use it and I've yet to find any big issue with it and Mirage. Course, I don't use this either though. But I'm sure it's a VERY simple work around.
Re: Media Player Sound Replacement - Rezeyu - 11-08-2007
I like Vista.
There's just a few moments where it's like.. @#%^@!
Like that I can't host, and I don't know why.
Re: Media Player Sound Replacement - Matt - 11-08-2007
I haven't tried to host, but even if I can, wouldn't mean you could. I run Vista Ultimate. I'm sure you have Home Basic or Home Premium.
Re: Media Player Sound Replacement - Rezeyu - 12-08-2007
Home premmy.
It even says my post 80 is blocked, when I know it isn't. Also I'm unable to use Nbtstat or any other DOS/port related stuff.
I can't even ping outside my network.
Re: Media Player Sound Replacement - Matt - 12-08-2007
Maybe it's your modem..
My brother can't host shit either cause of his modem. It has everything blocked. It's gay.
Re: Media Player Sound Replacement - Rezeyu - 12-08-2007
I hosted fine on XP, the second I switched to Vista it died.
/On topic!
In any case, what's the equivalent to like.. Unload Form for a component?
When I close the Client, it leaves a WMP instance running.
I stopped it in gameloop, but it stays regardless.

Re: Media Player Sound Replacement - jiros - 28-09-2007
I tried it a few hours ago - damn that's a long time indeed i'm a necro-thanker
Re: Media Player Sound Replacement - Matt2 - 02-12-2007
Here we are!
I'm back, again, lolz!
Who wants to so totally get this to work on Vista? xD
I don't run a Vista machine, so, I'm sure another Vista developer has found out a fix for it.
Someone share the fix? xD
Re: Media Player Sound Replacement - Rezeyu - 02-12-2007
I used the code from the site, not the download you had Dave.
I know I had to change some things around though, and I had to use parts of your tutorial.
Also, it works fine on my Vista, there was never any error.
EDIT: I misread your post. XD
Re: Media Player Sound Replacement - Rezeyu - 02-12-2007
Yeah, I clicked in the wrong thread by accident like you said. XD
Either way, it works fine in Vista, except the problem I had, which was probably my fault.
Re: Media Player Sound Replacement - GIAKEN - 26-01-2008
This is so much easier than DirectMusic and DirectSound...
Re: Media Player Sound Replacement - Robin - 27-01-2008
Yes. Yes it is.
Re: Media Player Sound Replacement - Xlithan - 05-10-2008
Sorry to bump an old topic but I have a question on this.
I've added it, everything works great except when you save the map, it doesn't play the music.
I'm guessing it's because of this line:
Quote:PlayMusic SaveMap.Music & ".mid"
What if the file is an MP3? I'm using both .mid and .mp3 file extensions, so I need to check both. Should I just add 2 lines?
Quote:PlayMusic SaveMap.Music & ".mid"
PlayMusic SaveMap.Music & ".mp3"
Re: Media Player Sound Replacement - Xlithan - 05-10-2008
It seems that if you try to play the same file that played previously, it doesn't work. So if you selected Music18.mp3 in the properties, played it, then saved the map, it wouldn't play that file on the map until a different file was played first, either by changing maps with a different music file or whatever.
Re: Media Player Sound Replacement - GIAKEN - 05-10-2008
WMP isn't good at all...use DirectMusic7 and DirectSound7.
Re: Media Player Sound Replacement - Robin - 05-10-2008
Don't use this unless you're as retarded as I was when I added it xD
Re: Media Player Sound Replacement - Labmonkey - 07-10-2008
That sounds like an invitation.
sorry, couldn't help it. Ill stop.
