Music?

How do you play music in Vendetta? There is the option to adjust the music, but alas....no music.

Erm... I believe the command is

/playmusic "PATH_TO_OGG_VORBIS_FILE"

also

/playlist "PATH_TO_M3U_PLAYLIST_OF_OGG_VORBIS_FILES"


hope that helps!

Will it play MP3's too?
Aug 07, 2003 igrok link
No, MP3s are not as developer friendly. The devs. choose ogg vorbis because it is open source and usually sounds better than MP3 anyway.

NOTE:
The m3u (if one doesn't know) can be a plain text file with the full paths the the .ogg files, like:
c:\path\to\file1.ogg
c:\path\to\file2.ogg
etc...

Since BusMasteR forgot which forum he was in, let me reparse

Now lets all give Rogue a standing applaus for his intelligent "reparsing" for my post, shall we...

LOL!
You gotta tolerate that BusMasteR

Furthermore:
I ripped my favorite 35 songs from their indevidual CD's to .mp3 format. Bad move.

Does anyone know how I can mass-convert theese to OGG?

Actually, since I can't play my Slipknot in MP3 format, I had to learn how to fix it. 1st load up all the MP3's you wish to convert to OGG's into XMMS. Go in and change the output plugin to the diskwriter plugin. This will convert ALL the songs to WAV format. A note here: make sure you turn off repeat BEFORE you hit play. Hit the play button, and let them finish. Afterwards, move the WAV files into an isolated directory (NOT folders.....gawd I hate M$ for that! but thats another post). Go into a terminal, cd into the directory, then type in "oggenc *.wav". If you have oggenc and XMMS, it should work. Goto xmms.org for XMMS, as far as oggenc....I have no idea where to get it.

Why not just get a tiny program titled mp32ogg from there you just type

mp32ogg <name of song>.mp3

and it converts it, works wonders when combined with shell scripting.

Ah, why? He did a useful correction of your screwup. Your file paths are wrong for the linux forum.

Also note that I changed .ogg files to Ogg Vorbis files, mainly because a file doesn't need the .ogg extension to be Ogg Vorbis.
