I tried adding music to my game and it compiled but i cant hear it in the game.... Am i doing something wrong? Here is the code.



mob
Login()
icon='people.dmi'
loc=locate(8,6,1)
usr<<sound('Air.mid',1)

Do you have sound enabled on the Pager?
Do you have Air.mid in the correct directory?

I'd give him a rte if it wasn't in the correct directory.

Not everybody's going to guess what you mean when you stick a random acronym in that isn't even capitalized. :P But anyway, it'd give him a compile-time error in that case. :P
The problem could be that that Login() override is never called because he has multiple ones that don't call ..(), or it might be that 'Air.mid' is an invalid sound file or is not supported by BYOND (or it otherwise has trouble playing it). He should put a debug output line to check if the proc runs, and if it does then he should try a different file and see how it goes.

How do I put a debug output line in my code.

A debug output line is just some random text you ouput to the world. You put it in a proc that you want to make sure runs correctly.

proc/Hello_World()
    world<<"Hello [src]!" //if the proc was never called, that text string would never appear

mob/Login()
    ..()
    Hello_World()
