DoomRL > Bug Reports

music won't play

(1/3) > >>

Brewtal Legend:
When I try to run doomrl 9.8.5 for windows on my dell latitude with windows 98 I get an error message when I start doomrl.bat or doomrl.exe.

" critical error: <tsound/0/0> registermusic(music/0 - intro.mid): etc/timidity/timidity.cfg: no such file or directory"

the game will run if I dissable the music, but I would like to hear the music when I play. I had the older version of doomrl on the same computer and it ran fine with the music playing. Does anyone else have this problem? Does anyone know how I can fix it?

Kornel Kisielewicz:
Do you have the DLL's in your directory? (SDL.dll and SDL_mixer.dll)

Brewtal Legend:
Yeah. all the dll's are in the same directory.

Brewtal Legend:
Do I need this "timidity.cfg" file? Where is it supposed to be? Where do I get it?

Kornel Kisielewicz:
Hmm, have you tried MP3 sounds? Do they work?

Also, I found something funny on a SDL_mixer page...

--- Quote ---On Windows, sound output will not work unless you have set the video mode : we need to associate DirectSound with a window handle. So you need to :

   1. initialize SDL with both SDL_INIT_VIDEO and SDL_INIT_AUDIO at the same time
   2. call SDL_SetVideoMode before SDL_OpenAudio.

--- End quote ---
And I DON'T set the video mode :|.

Anyway, this may be fixed by providing a Windows version that's linked to FMOD instead... But it SHOULD run with Mixer! timidity should be only needed on Linux system...

At least I don't have any timidity on my system. What soundcard do you have?
