LFN Message

[PsychicHeart]

nothing funny to say so i'll cut to the proverbial chase.
when i script music1.mp3 to play on room load 304, when i go to test it a message comes up saying: cannot play music1.mp3, because it is an LFN file. What's an LFN file, and how can i fix up this problem??

LFN - Long File Name, as opposed to the "8.3" name spec. defined by DOS.

music1.mp3 should be a correct name, but check your explorer's setting, that whether some crap option like "hide known file extensions" was checked (which IS, under default setting of window$), because if that option was checked, and you still see the file's name as "music1.mp3", it's possibly actually named "music1.mp3.mp3" instead.

Where should i go to do this, Control panel?

It's should be under something like:
Tool --> Folder Options... --> Viewing
in an explorer window.
Note that since I'm not using an English window$, the names of above items might not be exact.

No Folder Options or Viewing, i'm looking through, think i've nearly got it.

Ah, wait, Problem Solved.
I changed music0.mp3 to simply music0 and it works perfectly.

You've definately got them hidden then.

Go into a folder. Click tools. Click Folder options. Go to the tab that has all the checkboxes. Find the hide known file extentions (or w/e) and uncheck it. Click ok. Be awestruck.
