It's a damn shame that using PLAY MP3 to play in the background and PLAY SOUND for FX in the foreground seems to be incompatible:
Error in line xx: Sound output in use


@matherp, any advice ?

@PeteCotton, for the "Welcome Tape" is there any chance you could redo the logo with the name "Guardian" or some other non (c) infringing title of your choice?

Best wishes,

Tom


@Tom, thanks... Yeah If the soundtrack is only on the titlescreen most people only would hear the first bars and play the game and get the same 4 bars of the beginning... and i hoped that the score could be played in the background... that would be neat. But I guess because mp3 will eat up a lot of cpu power it's not possible ? Maybe @matherp could tell if it's possible... otherwise mp3 playback is not really usefull if it eats so much cpupower that you can't play other sounds...


I'm pretty sure it's because of the way I'm doing files. I believe we can do a MOD file with tunes and sound effects together - but that's all a black art to me.
