Default Re: battlesounds question

Check sounds.ini at the end. There is space for up to 10 tracks. Blank ones will not play, but it will play tracks 1-10 in sequence, ignoring blanks then restart at 1. Only battlesounds 1 and 2 are on the play list ATM.

Don't use too large files (they take up lots of memory), but the DirectShow interface should handle any legit music file you have - WAV and MP3 have been tried.

The only problem with MP3 (and why we have replaced all with WAV) is that some users install third-party applications that override the default Microsoft DirectShow MP3 Codecs with their own, and that seems to sometimes mess with the DirectShow sound MP3 playback. WAV files do not have the Codec compatibility problem.

Cheers
Andy
