Playing sample from file doesn't work

[chrilley]

So I built an exe of a game I just started on for Peblo's TDC contest. I barely even have a game, just an application that plays a sound. Or at least, is supposed to.

I have a condition that's simply:

Press Fire 1
- Play sample from file at specific channel;
path: Apppath$+"snd/test.ogg"; channel: 1

While this DOES work when running from MMF2, it doesn't as a built .exe file.

Help me out people.

Does the folder that the .exe is in contain snd/test.ogg?

[chrilley]

Yes, it's in the same folder as the .mfa source.

When you reference sounds by file, MMF2 doesn't include the filters needed to play them when it's built as an EXE - find the Sound Filters in your application properties and set them manually.

Yey it worked! Thanks!

From build 248 it automatically includes all filters when you exclusively play sounds from an external file. I recommend people upgrade to the latest build.
