Question regarding themes

RJDPosted on 07/13/03 at 09:44:12

For some reason I'm having trouble getting themes to play. I'm aware that it doesn't detect Winamp and that there is a new engine to play MP3's. And that's just the thing, it doesn't work for me.

When I try to Play Theme in the database, it doesn't play, I tried running a test card and it just freezes at the entrances. Anyway to fix this?

And if it matters, I'm using Windows XP.

In that case, I'd recommend deactivating the new engine in Options | Audio Options and having it detect WinAmp 3 (which of course needs to be installed).

If you don't mind a bit more work on your part, I'd recommend installing the latest version of the Windows Media Player as you DO need at least WinMP 6 so that Windows knows the MP3 format.

Ah thanks for the help. After disabling the old engine I forgot to have it look for Winamp. Thanks again.

Seem to have some trouble, but I'm gonna try some different things first.

Before you try anything else, please make sure you have the right version of the Windows Media Player installed. It needs to be 6 or higher, otherwise Windows doesn't know how to handle MP3s natively.

Seems the problem was when I tried to do random matches. I had enjoyed doing random cards from time to time, but I guess it's no big deal for now.

For random matches to work properly, please make sure you either have well over 6 wrestlers hired or none at all.
