Music

[SilverPhoenix34]

Hi everyone, I'm having trouble getting music to stop. In my script I've had music begin just fine, but when I give the order for it to stop, this comes up

File "game/script.rpy", line 247: expected end of line
stop music"dedsecmusic.oog"
^

Ren'Py Version: Ren'Py 7.3.5.606
Tue Nov 19 21:33:37 2019

Any advice?

You don't need the file name, audio in renpy works via channels.
Also, is your file .oog or .ogg

Thank you!

Just to clarify, one channel can only play one audio file at a time (except the special "audio" channel)

The documentation can explain it better than I can.

Sorry to bother you again, I'm getting this now.

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
File "game/script.rpy", line 258, in script
"Raptor" "Well, here we are."
File "renpy/common/00library.rpy", line 268, in say
who(what, interact=interact, *args, **kwargs)
IOError: Couldn't find file 'newmarket.ogg'.

Where did you place your file? You'll need to give renpy the full file path (relevant to the game folder)

So for example if you placed your music in a folder, you need to add the folder name to the path.

[SilverPhoenix34]

Okay, so what do I type in for that?

[Imperf3kt]

Well, if you placed it in a folder named "sound" then you simply add "sound/" to the start of the filename when playing the file. A full line would look like the following:

Code: Select all

    play music "sound/whatever.ogg"

But thats only if that is what your issue is. Without seeing more of your code, I can't really be sure. The traceback alludes to not being able to find the file, but thats all it tells you.


However, looking at your code again, it looks like you have two sets of "" in one line,

Code: Select all

    "Raptor" "Well, here we are."
    

I assume "Raptor" is a character name? You don't require the " around it and infact having that will cause issues.

Code: Select all

    Raptor "Well, here we are."
