I read sariats tutorial on sounds but i found it to be a peice of shi- crap, because i put my code in, but it didnt tell me where i had to put my sound file, or if i had to import it or something. Can somebody tell me what I have to do?

well, this code will play a sound for you, any sound, just pick one!

mob/verb/playsound(S as sound)
usr << sound(S,1)

you can define is by either
S = 'sounds.wav'
or
usr << sound('sounds.wav',1)

Normally, files that your game will use should be in the same directory as all the other stuff.. if it doesn't show up in the project in DM, it doesn't know what file you're pointing it at..

the sound file has to be in the same folder as the world source file (ie. yourworld.dme)

An example:\

sound file path:
C:\Program Files\Byond\Bin\YourGame\YourSound.wav

code:
mob
Login()
src << sound('YourSound.wav',0)


Dream Maker always refers to files in the Base direction(C:\Program Files\Byond\Bin\YourGame)

unless you use files in other folders or something.
