All the other MIDIs in my game work, but for some reason the 2 that I added don't. I checked the filename and the directory twice, and they are saved right, but they don't work.
I recently moved my game directory to another AGs file, but I don;t know if thats it.
If there something I am overlooking, pelase tell eme.

Stupid me. Of course :) I'm just used to it doing it automattically.

Edit: No, it diddn't work. BTW, it's not like the current music keeps on playing, everything stops, as if the MIDI was blank.

Again, then it might be a MIDI which AGS engine can't play properly. That's because, unfortunetly, an extension doesn't specify the format completely(entirely), so a certain MIDI might have features that are unsupported by engine midi player and it either report an error or just skip it and you hear nothing.

I use MIDI's in The Dungeon and they work fine, do you have the latest free AGS version??? And are you files named MUSIC1, MUSIC2, etc. (It is neccesarry to capitalize MUSIC) Otherwise, I don't know what's wrong!!!??!?!

I learned a valuble lesson in AGS today: DOn't mess around with the file directories.

I upgraded AGS in the middle of my game production, and I thought that by copying all the files to a new folder would serve me better, but I lost track of them all, and I saved my MIDI's into the new folder, where they wouldn't work. It was simply a matter of me not thinking :)
