When it plays sounds it just stops playing them after a while.
Then sometimes it does this:

BERZERKER caused an invalid page fault in
module DBPROSOUNDDEBUG.DLL at 0167:025d275d.

Are you running the latest sound drivers for your system?

Gosh I don't know. The sound drivers work fine for DB v1.

But I found a work-around:

if sound playing(a) = 0 then stop sound a
play sound a


Adding the first line seems to reset the sound so no more sound not playing when it should. As for the crash, it seems to only occur when you say:

if sound exist({sound that doesn't exist}) then ...

..which I avoided altogether.

When playing a non-looping sound, you may need to add a zero on the end of Play Sound to force it to play correctly.

Play Sound <sound number>, 0

Programming anything is an art, and you can't rush art.
Unless your name is Bob Ross, then you can do it in thirty minutes.

ps. That's actually a really cool feature of DB pro. You can play a sound starting with whatever byte position you want --which could make for some neet effects.

Like lets say you have a bullet ricochet sound you can say

play sound a,rnd(range)

that way each time there's a ricochet the sound can be a little shorter or longer.

Between that and set sound speed you have a lot of creative flexibiliy in DB pro.

See there are reasons to stick around through all the real bugs.

Good tips... I've been playing around with the "set sound speed", but I had thought about the "playing the sound for a random ranges of positions" thing.

Thanks!
