Can't Register Audio Channel [Solved]

[Angelee]

I'm using the "renpy.music.register_channel(name, mixer=None, loop=None, stop_on_mute=True, tight=False, file_prefix='', file_suffix='', buffer_queue=True)" function from the documentation. I figured that creating a separate audio channel will let me play two sound effects at the same time. But...I don't know where to put it. I put it in the scripts file and in the options file and they both gave me errors when I did that. It says that the "sound2" (which I named my channel) is not defined.

If someone could help me out I'd really appreciate it. (ಥ_ಥ)

I'm pretty sure you can put the declarations in any file since Renpy treats all individual files as one big file.
It should however be in an init block and a python block.

This is what I have in my code:

Code: Select all

init -1 python:
    renpy.music.register_channel("TockBG", mixer= "sfx", loop=True)
    renpy.music.register_channel("ChimeBG", mixer= "sfx", loop=False, tight=True) 
    renpy.music.register_channel("Alarm", mixer= "sfx", loop=False, tight=True)  

It works for me...so what exactly did you put in your code?

EDIT: Wait, I think I see the problem once I compare our scripts. Let me try something and I'll post the results.

EDIT: Yep, thanks a lot, trooper6! That did the trick. The problem was that I didn't put the channel name in quotes.

I put:

renpy.music.register_channel(sound2, mixer="sfx", loop=False, stop_on_mute=True, tight=True, buffer_queue=True)

instead of:

renpy.music.register_channel("sound2", mixer="sfx", loop=False, stop_on_mute=True, tight=True, buffer_queue=True)

Such a simple thing but I was scratching my head for hours! Maybe I'm not cut out for programming, lol. (─‿‿─)

Thanks again!

Put sound2 in quotes. Yeah, I know the documentation isn't super helpful at pointing out when things should be strings or not.

Haha, thanks! I figured it out a second ago. Now I feel so dumb.
