- Thanks, Blaise, but something is still going wrong... :<
-
- First of all, I didn't know there was a difference between a song and a mod.
- I thought they were one and the same, just that "mod" was a computer term
- for playable music (generically known as a song) as opposed to a sample.
- .
- (Well, by now you all know that I haven't the faintest idea what I'm talking
- about most of the time...but I'm TRYING! ;> )
-
- Anyway, I downloaded Med 3.21, loaded the non-MP-working mods, and resaved as
- Med modules (renaming them slightly first). The originals seemed to play
- correctly on MED, but the renamed & saved versions caused Multiplayer to
- guru. :<
-
- So, I have deleted all my renames (some were larger than the originals and
- some were smaller (?))
-
- Oh, the way I renamed them (as innocuously as possible): NOTIME.MED became
- NOTIME2.MED. I don't see how that could be a problem, but it might have been.
