ClassicGMR Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I have had this issue since 12.79. My arcade ambiance file used to play fine before that. I'm on 12.82 now, have updated automatically and manually just to be sure. No change. My ini file shows the right folder and there's nothing in the log that I see that would cause it to not play. Am I missing something?GameEx.inilog.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassicGMR Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 I attempted to edit my post but it won't save it...My folder is "c:\arcade" and my file is "arcade.mp3". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Speirs Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I cant see anything either right now. Do other sounds play in GameEx? Do MP3s play in windows media player? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaUMi Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 In your GameEx.ini there are the following lines:AmbienceFile=AmbianceFile=Both are empty. You can delete one of them, and put "C:\arcade\arcade.mp3" so that eventually you get:AmbienceFile="C:\arcade\arcade.mp3".Note that AmbienceFile requires the full directory including the file name and extension.

ClassicGMR Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 No dice. Tried it as AmbienceFile=C:\arcade\arcade.mp3 and AmbianceFile=C:\arcade\arcade.mp3. It still doesn't play. Tom - Yes the arcade.mp3 file used to work in 12.77 and below. It also still plays through Windows Media Player. I use Draco's Space Invaders theme and GameEx makes all the normal menu sounds and plays the startup sound as well which I have set to Sinistar's "Beware I Live!"

AlphaUMi Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Sorry for misleading the problem. My knowledge is pretty out of date... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJoneK Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I had this very same issue and the fix seems to work for me. Ambience played 3 out of 3 times. Before it would just play like 1 out of 4 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
