Midi problem

#1 Post by Ashark »

I am having a problem with the midi. When I try to set a 4 kb midi to play in my game, it would not play but when I set a mp3 or a 14 kb midi, it plays fine. This seems to concern the size of the midi. Since the one I am trying to play is a simple song that only takes 4 kb, the game doesn't seem to be able to play it. I have put the code into the demo game included with Ren'Py but it still didn't work. Is there a way to fix this problem or do I have to do something like increase the filesize of the midi somehow?

I just tried out a 494 byte midi, and it played fine.

Can you email me the midi file, so I can take a look at it, to see if there's some sort of issue with the file itself?

Also you may want to add the lines:

Code: Select all

init:
    $ config.debug = True
    $ config.debug_sound = True
These lines enable alot of error reporting. By default, Ren'Py suppresses errors involving music, on the ground that it's better to have a game without music then a game that crashes whenever music tries to play. So remember to remove them before releasing your game.
