them aliases randomise my mp3's, but some wont play for a reason that is unknown to me, i need to in there put a line that stops it from msging the chanel if the mp3 cant play, can anyone help

or even better can somoene tell me why it wont play the mp3's

I had the exact same problem. It's this bit.

That script randomizes mp? files in your mp3 directory so it could try and play an mpg file or mpeg. Change the question mark to the number 3.
Like this.


It worked for me.

ok done that but some wont play, such as this one * /splay: unable to play 'C:\Program Files\mIRC\Sounds\wierd al - Truck Drivin' Song.mp3'
? ? ?

is there two consecutive spaces in the filename?

nope

Try typing /splay C:\Program Files\mIRC\Sounds\wierd al - Truck Drivin' Song.mp3 in your mIRC if it plays then there is an error in the code somewhere, if it still don't play there must be something wrong with the song. Maybe try re-downloading it?

hmmm it wont play, but it used to, b 4 i went more complicated with my mp3 script it worked fine

well if /splay didnt work then it isnt the script. It is the filename or mp3. Open Winamp or WMP and play the song there. If it works then look at the file name and see if it has more then two spaces in between each word, if so make it once space.

One way to find out is use a fresh mIRC with nothing in it, and try playing it through there?

(Or just do what Naki suggested)

ok, they work with WMP have no more than one space, and i even went back and removed all the spaces from that file name and it still ownt play them for some reason

Did it work in a fresh mIRC?

Try putting the filename in quotes.

/splay "c:\.....\file - name.mp3"

tried that still the same,
also i found another problem, i installed a fesh mirc and i get this: * /splay: invalid parameters (line 19, mp3.mrc.txt)
line 19 is this bit
alias devilsmp3 {
set %r1 $findfile(%mp3dir,*.mp3,0)
set %r2 $rand(1,%r1)
set %mp31 $findfile(%mp3dir,*.mp3,%r2)
set %mp32 $nopath(%mp31) | set %mp32 $remove(%mp32,.mp3)
splay %mp31
}

Try

ok, it is still the same, except now it is line 18 but still the splay bit
but what i cant work out is why it works on the one and not the other

and line 18 is ..?

splay %mp3

As it works on the fresh mIRC, why don't you transfer all your work from the old one to the new one? Atleast then you'll know it all works etc.

it doesnt work on the fresh one that is the one that wont work
