(sorry if it isnt a bug or posted before, didnt find anything with search)

gives an error, "* /play: cannot play to this window (line 2, aliases.ini)" it does work when using

is this supposed to be this way or.. ? since the lines are read as commands, it shouldnt need a window to play to.

Are you running this from an event, alias, what?

Eamonn.

from an event

Odd that its from an event but your filename is called aliases.ini, but nevertheless more than likely this is happening because its taking the 'Status Window' as the /play window, and the status window isnt allow to be /played to.

Eamonn.

it is an alias called from an event

Try /play -cs <file>
I don't really think it would be a bug as such as /play is intended for 'playing' files to windows|nicks. (That is just MHO though )
