Okay, after some attempts at troubleshooting, I noticed that music did indeed play, but only in Britain. I had misnamed midi_britain2 to midi_britain.

Quote:[REGIONTYPE r_townBritain]
ON=@ENTER
SRC.MUSIC=midi_britain

ON=@CliPeriodic
SRC.MUSIC=midi_britain

Each time the CliPeriodic triggered, I received a sphere_backward_compatibility error as the midi def did not exist, but it did trigger 0 turfin,loop (the first file in my UO Client config, and a sort of default I suspect). After changing midi_britain to midi_britain2, no music plays at all.

For the sake of clarity, the REGIONTYPE in my region.scp for Britain reads:

Quote:[REGIONTYPE r_townBritain]
ON=@ENTER
SRC.MUSIC=midi_britain2

ON=@CliPeriodic
SRC.MUSIC=midi_britain2

The AREADEF of Britain in Map0 is:

Quote:[AREADEF a_townBritain]
EVENTS=r_default,r_default_rock,r_default_water,r_default_tree,r_default_grass,r_townBritain
NAME=Britain
GROUP=Britain
FLAGS=region_flag_nobuilding|region_flag_globalname|region_flag_guarded
P=1495,1629,10,0
RECT=1410,1517,1691,1778,0
RECT=1436,1494,1670,1517,0

RECT=1691,1532,1721,1595,0
RECT=1388,1697,1410,1766,0
TAG.GUARDOWNER=the city

I have likewise used this same method for each of the towns and some other areas where I want music. Additionally, music does not trigger for any of the previously existing REGIONTYPES (the ones not altered by me).

The music files of the client I am using are MP3. The midi defs in my sphere_def file are:

The function in backward compatibility is:

Anyone have any ideas as to where I am going wrong? Something to do with midis and MP3 perhaps?
