How do I add a music room to my game's menu?

[JapanManiaz]

And unfortunately, I now have a new issue T_T is there a way to place more than one column of tracks in the music room? Because mine kinda runs off the page at this rate...

If you still have a problem with that (which seems unlikely) and don't mind a really messy coding, here's what I do:

Code: Select all

# Music Gallery
#
init python:
    # Step 1. Create a MusicRoom instance.
    mr = MusicRoom(fadeout=1.0)    
    # Step 2. Add music files.
    mr.add("Track1.ogg")
    mr.add("Track2.ogg")
    mr.add("Track3.ogg")
    mr.add("Track4.ogg")
    
screen music_room:
    tag menu
    use navigation
    frame background None :
            ypos 10
            xpos 10
            $ ui.grid(cols=2, rows=2, padding=2, transpose=True)    #Change Column and Row number as needed. The numbers of tracks must match the available grid opening or an 'Exception: Grid not completely full' error will come up. The easiest way to solve this is to make up some empty buttons to fill in the spaces.

        # The buttons that play each track.
            textbutton "Track 1" action mr.Play("Track1.ogg")
            textbutton "Track 2" action mr.Play("Track2.ogg")
            textbutton "Track 3" action mr.Play("Track3.ogg")
            textbutton "Track 4" action mr.Play("Track4.ogg")

#Adjust the position of the previous/next/stop buttons
    frame:
        xpos 270
        ypos 410
        has hbox:
            xalign 0.5
            yalign 0.5
       
        # Buttons that let us advance tracks with a bonus stop button.
        textbutton "|<<" action mr.Previous()
        textbutton "X" action mr.Stop()
        textbutton ">>|" action mr.Next()

It took me some fiddling to come up with this (I prefer having more than one page, but I don't know how to do that). This was really messed up, but I'll be happy if it could help somebody.

I don't know if I'm misunderstanding the function, but I found that ToggleSingleTrack() wouldn't also toggle the button it was attached to. It was always selected. ToggleLoop() meanwhile did that just fine.

To get around this, I ended up doing this instead. (Note that the selected state = single_track being *false*.)

Code: Select all

action If(music_test.single_track, music_test.SetSingleTrack(False), music_test.SetSingleTrack(True))

Not sure if this would be the correct placement of this thread, but seen the question asked before in here.I am new to this.I am a fan of barcode game of visual basic .net.Now i want to have music in my game.How do I get sound/music into my game? Is there a menu or editor within AGS that I can use to add music/sound files into, or what?Any suggestion will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The music room works perfectly fine and I'm thankful for the code.

Just one question: how could I make it so that when you select a song it changes the background image of the music room?
