Making a lot of progress here thanks to all your help.
2 more problems though...
1) Sound effects work fine but music doesn't play on the on line version of my game. How do I deal with this, or is it just not possible to incorporate my own music? Is it more likely a problem with vitalize or my web server?
2) Internet Explorer works fine, but firefox constricts the screen in such a way that the game is not playable. Any ideas?
Again a BIG thnx for all your help!
For your nonplaying music do you mean MIDI or something else?
If your calling external sound files I would look into that as to MMF there is no difference between a sound effect and a sound used as a background music. I have seen some computers that got the synth turned off thus MIDI can't be heard
Firefox no idea.
If you give a URL to your page maybe that would help us to see whats going on.
Thnx Jeff,
I incorporated some mp3 music in the only currently active game (snakes) I've uploaded so far. Sound effects work fine but not the music.
hmmm - as I'm writing this I'm realizing that I never individually uploaded each mp3, thinking that it was all part of the ccn game file - bet thats the problem, eh?
http://lrdesign.weebly.com/index.html is my site - very new yet....
hmmmm...
well, I uploaded a midi file (the music file which is on the first level of my game), and no dice....
dont know what i'm doing wrong....
If your using external MP3 files I am pretty sure the problem is how your calling them as it gets a bit tricky when your making a vitalize application.
How are you playing your MIDI file? If your using the internal sound engine you don't have to upload it.
What I would suggest you do
Convert your MP3 to OGG (dbpowerapp can do it) and have them internal to your game. I would also check your software synth volume in windows to make sure it not turned off (for your midi problem)
well - just to finish off this thread.....
I bagged the mp3s for the internet version of the game, using MIDIs instead. I believe I erred when building the ccn file, and ENSURED that all midis were included in the file where i made the build this time.
All is working great now - except for the firefox program
thnx again Jeff!
I looked at your page source and I see the problem
Near the end of the embed statement
"WIDTH=700HEIGHT=500></EMBED>
Put a space in that
"WIDTH=700 HEIGHT=500></EMBED>
Should fix it.
WOW - Talk about being able to pay attention to detail! Don't think I ever would have spotted that! Changed it and it workd GREAT now! Geez, I feel like I at least owe you a beer or something! lol
thnx again Jeff!
