If your files are at least included in the same folder as the environment, or are in a folder which is in the environment, you should be fine. You do need to have one of your preference boxes ticked, but it's like that by default, so I wouldn't worry about it.

I'm sorry, but you never mentioned anything about it not working.

Do you get any runtime errors? Does it compile? Is your sound on? Are your speakers installed (this one I do suggest you look into, don't just go "They've always been installed!" because mine uninstalled themselves once)?

    Entered(mob/mob)
        if(istype(mob)&&mob.client) mob << sound(music,1)

Interesting how that istype() will always return true, but won't do what you want. Not to mention that all you've done here really is changed Enter() to Entered() and checked to see if mob is a client. That's not gonna do much difference 'cept save a lot of CPU.

Not really. Aside from being logical, the code given fixes the bad usage of usr.

That istype() will only return true if the movable entering the turf is a mob. How is that "always return true" or "won't do what you want"?

Changing Enter() to Entered() was correct. Changing usr to the argument was correct. The difference in CPU usage is negligible.
