Topic: Unofficial Help and Q&A / Need Help with Problem: Midi not playing.

Update: I've narrowed the problem a bit. The only tracks that will play are the
three I loaded right when I first started the file. Anything that I have loaded
since then will not play, no matter what it is, no matter whether it's a midi or
a wav sound effect.
Did I accidentally change a setting somewhere? Please help. This is driving me
nuts!

Topic: Unofficial Help and Q&A / Need Help with Problem: Midi not playing.

I'm trying to incorporate midi music tracks into my game and they refuse to
play.
I downloaded the music from vgmusic.com. I can import it into gamemaker and it
plays fine when I just open the window for it and press play. However, when I
run the game itself the music doesn't play. The game freezes for about a second
and then there is silence.
I use the code "sound_loop(Music)" to start playing (also tried the D&D). And
when I use the code "if sound_isplaying(Music)" it reports that the music is
actually playing, but I don't hear anything .WAV sound effects work fine using
the same code. So do piano-only midis. I've never had a problem with using midi
music before. I've even used some of the same midi files in previous projects.
Anyone have any suggestions as to what might be going on?
Thanks.

Topic: General Chat / Compile error

You posted me to ask about this. Here's how I did it with Zelda:RtH. It works
automatically, up and down, side to side or teleporting, any size room. I didn't
use any collision objects for it.
Make sure you don't have a view_object[0] set ("view_object[0] = noone" to
deactivate) . I used the code below. Put it in the "end step" of you "player"
object.
ViewX = floor(x/ViewW)
ViewY = floor(y/ViewH)
view_xview[0] = ViewX*ViewW
view_yview[0] = ViewY*ViewH
(ViewW as 320 and ViewH was 224. These were the width and height of my screens;
yours us 208x208. These were constants, but you could just use numbers if you
like)

Topic: General Chat / Promoting New Zelda Game

I just uploaded a new epic Zelda game. The engine is a clone of the original
NES, with BS Zelda graphics, and the world is all new.
The game has a huge world (I mean frickin huge, like 40 unique areas + dungeons
and caves) with lots of secrets and about a hundred different types of enemies,
seven complete dungeons with bosses and mini-bosses, dozens of items including
all the classics plus new ones like a remote-control boomerang. It's also got
six magic wands with different abilities and six magic rings that change you
into different elemental and animal forms. It's also got the raft and a
free-roaming ocean area. It has an epic storyline, complete maps for every area
and dungeon, and it takes hours to complete (even for me).
I'm stoked about it going out onto Yoyo and am asking/pleading some people to
review it for me. I offer nothing in return except a great gaming experience and
infinite, undying gratitude (and who doesn't want infinite, undying gratitude?).
