T. Music In Public Beta 182?

2 replies · 869 views · Started 12 July 2003

Maybe I'm just doing something wrong, but I'm having trouble getting ZC to play the .it files I specify for dmaps in ZQuest. Here's the deal:

I go into ZQuest and choose the menu item Dmaps. I choose the dmap that I want and click "Load T. Music." I browse to the .it file I want (which plays perfectly well in Winamp), choose it, and note that it does correctly display the file name in the dmap information window. I click OK and then save and quit ZQuest.

I open ZC and select the save game for my quest. I play to the dmap to which I added T. Music (what does it stand for, anyway? Tracker music? Ticker music? Totally sweet music?), and it just plays the MIDI I had specified for that dmap.

I go back into ZQuest and go to edit the dmap again, and the T. Music file name is still there as if it was loaded properly. I set the MIDI to "(none)" and save and quit.

When I get back to the dmap in ZC, this time there's no music at all (which isn't really surprising).

So basically, what I want to know is whether or not I am doing everything correctly, and whether or not T. Music is even supported in 1.92 public beta 182.

A prompt reply from someone in the know would be most appreciated. Thank you.

The .it files aren't stored in the quest itself. They must be in the directory with the quest before they will play.

That might be the problem. :shrug:

Hooray! You rule! Oh. Oh my. I kiss you.

Okay, thanks. That did it.

EDIT: Well, now that it's working, I have another question regarding T. Music.

How come it sounds so choppy and crackly? It sounds like an old record. What's going on?
