using midi files

[Kev The Galaxybender]

I keep reading about plug ins and such and I can't figure out what i need to use midi files.

I have the EVE screenpack and I can't figure out for nothing how to use midi's. Can someone help please.

You need a midi plugin.

[Kev The Galaxybender]

where can I find one? And how do I activate it?

[nick09]

Try this one:
http://www.dlldump.com/download-dll-files_new.php/dllfiles/I/in_midi.dll/-/download.html

you add it in the plugin area of your mugen.cfg.

[Kev The Galaxybender]

ok, exactly where do I add it and how, this is what i have and it's not playing..........

  ;List Winamp-compatible plugins here.
  ;Specify the filename of the plugin and the list of file types to
  ;use the plugin for. One plugin per line.
  ;Example: plugin = plugins/my_plugin.dll, mp3, mp2, mpg
  ;
  ;If music is not looping with a particular plugin, you can try an
  ;optional first argument looptype=1 (seek to zero; may stutter)
  ;or looptype=1 (reload plugin; slow).
  ;Example: plugin = looptype=1, plugins/my_plugin.dll, mp3, mp2, mpg
plugin = looptype=2, plugins/DJ-VAN.dll, mp3, mp2, mpg
plugin = looptype=2, plugins/in_midi.dll, midi

the bottom line is what I added, is this where I should be making changes? If so, it didn't work

I'm having a crappy time getting stuff to work for Mugen today

no good

[shinra358]

midis are bad choices to begin with... and the midi dll that comes with mugen should be good enough...

thats ok, some midi's are very good though. And converting them to .wav or .mp3 makes them sound different

also, where is the midi.dll that comes with mugen? I don't know where it is

[shinra358]

yeah it make them sound ULTRA loud

[Tundra]

one of the best plugins

I don't understand at all? Where do i look to find the plug in? Please help. There are a few midi's I want to use so bad

When i got mugen, all the plugins where inside the plugins folder. i dont know if over time they took em out or not. but if not, some members just gave out links to find new ones.

I tried them and they didn't work

[shinra358]

do any other song files work? u didnt put your sound buffering in windows to 0 did you?

[Kev The Galaxybender]

only mp3's work. where do I go to adjust sound buffering?

[shinra358]

well by default, its up. so now need to mess with it.

if its not:

-the plugin in the folder

-proper indication in the mugen.cfg

then i dont know what to tell you. you said you did everything right to indicate it and no good results....then i dont know what the prob is. becuz what was stated works for us. i dont know about ur situation. do you have vista or something?
