Background Music not Working Correctly???
« on: August 25, 2009, 01:39:20 pm »
When I put wave files into the background music it will work for the first time.  Its a simply 2 files that makes up the space invaders march.  If I close Mala and then reopen it, the music will not play.  The files are still there but I cannot even play them from the menu screen.  I have to delete them and then add them again in order for it to work.  Any thoughts???

 :dunno

Thanks

Are you using the beta?  If not, you probably want to use it because its more stable than older versions for me.

When I exit the music files are still there but they won't play when I restart Mala.  I tryed a mp3 file and it does the samething.  I have to go into the menu every time and hit play to start the music back up.  I want it to start by itself when mala is loaded.  Am I missing something????

What version of Mala are you using?  Are you using the beta?

I figured it out!!!

I had to go into the mala configuration file and change the "last song" and "last song position" to a 1 under the background music section.   Now the background music starts again after I have closed it out and restarted it.  Thanks for all the help
