I added a sound file to my program thats a mp3 and the program compiles but at the beginning of run time I get a box with this message "could not add sound file groar1.mp3-Not a RIFF file at line 18" and when I click ok the program program terminates

line 18, LoadSound ( 2, "groar1.mp3" ) "line 18 is inside the DO loop"

*EDIT if I use groar1.mp3 as music it will play but I get the message if I try to use it as a sound

I can tell you that commands getbuttonpressed and getbuttonstate are not working with gamepads... I tryed 2 different ones "checked the settings and calibrated, but can only get X&Y from usb game pads..

they use the same Windows driver, 2Axes 11Keys game pad

IIRC sound files mist be a .wav format so an mp3 won't work.

I'm afraid I can't help with that one as I don't have a gamepad. Good luck!

game pad problem is comeing from the IDE itself or the windows driver for the game pads... I'm useing the most common driver and it has ben working fine... I'm hopeing AppGameKit will fully support it in the future...

I have a nes usb controller that I love useing... buttons A&B map to 1&2 but select&start map to 9&10... the directional pad inputs work!

A&B may be working... I think its my code thats bad...

se1# = GetButtonPressed(1)
if se1# > 0.5 then PlaySound(1, 100, 0 )

can anyone see anything wrong with this?

*EDIT
changed getbuttonpredded to GetButtonState
and now code runs, but when Button a is pressed I get this messege "failed to creat sound instance at line 52"

my sound editing software has may different wave encoder options format/attributes

what should they be for agk?

Make sure the WAV is not compressed. You need PCM 8 or 16 bit, mono or stereo.

Not sure why you are doing it like this as I am not even sure the joystick buttons support analogue input.
Try this:-

The first code would be best as it prevents the music from getting restarted while you hold the button down. Of course you could always add "and getsoundplaying(1)=0" to the end of the condition part to prevent you from restarting every click.

DVader is correct. GetButtonPressed() returns either zero or one as an integer value.

Basic will sort of work with what you do, and not complain, but your usage is not quite right.
