Game = Virus??

So I exported my game to .exe just to test the music out (it is still very basic, just a menu really). When I ran the file nothing happened. Then I got a popup from Norton saying that it had blocked a "High Risk Program" and that my computer was now safe (it deleted the file I believe).

..should that worry me?

There is certainly nothing wrong with CC or the exported .exe files so it's more than likely Norton being twitchy, or a false positive.

If you are at all concerned, upload the file HERE which will scan it with all the current AV software.

OK that is what I was thinking but I just wanted to check.

On the note of testing the music, mine will not work. I have it in the music subfolder, and my event is: "On start of layout" "XAudio2: play music AppPath & Music\EpicScale.mp3"

But the music won't play when I run it or compile it out to an .exe. Any suggestions? I know I am doing something wrong but the sourceforge video link is bad. I didn't see anything in the tutorials section, but if there is something a link would be awesome,

Try AppPath & "\Music\EpicScale.mp3"

Appath automatically adds the slash.

Atleast on my computer.

Try AppPath & "\Music\EpicScale.mp3"

Jayjay and Urled are correct.

-> XAudio2: Play music AppPath & "Music\EpicScale.mp3" (including the quotes)

or

-> XAudio2: Play music AppPath & "\Music\EpicScale.mp3" (including the quotes)

I think the first backslash is optional(Urled) and you might need a trigger once event depending on how you trigger it. (i havent used mp3 files myself).

Nothing worked.

Here is my .cap: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/37944002/GODWIPCLASSIC.cap

Oopsy daisy! The link you clicked appears to not exist in our interbanks.

Rest assured, this has been noted. An angry email has been dispatched to our web developer.

You should have included the whole folder as a zip.

Are you sure the file is an mp3 (not just a wmv or something with mp3 as an extension?)

Because i see no reason why it should work.

It works great when I tried.

You can try and set a text objects text to AppPath & "Music\EpicScale.mp3"

and see if the filename matches the files path in the folder adress bar.

OK so no luck. It is an MP3 and I made my events look exactly as yours did. I also fixed the link, not sure why it wasn't working.

Try again in a new cap file. If this doesn't work, then it may be a problem with XAudio2 on your computer. Try the other audio plugin Audiere Sound here.

Whoo it works!!! Thanks for the share Jayjay, I think that XAudio2 is unfriendly to my computer. Thanks again for sharing!

Hm? If the X in Xaudio stands for direct x then that might be the problem. Alot of people had problems with the direct audio extension in mmf as well.

Yeah I could see that making sense. The only thing I gotta figure out now is to make it not start over when i go back to the main menu. I just want the song on a constant global loop.

Try making your sound object global (rather than including it on every layout) and only start playing it on the first layout/if its not already playing.
