Stopping The Music

Nil_IQ

<div class="IPBDescription">Noooo! Teh music, teh music!</div> O.k, having recently learned how to put my own MP3's into NS and how to change track with "nexttrack", I have found that I can't turn the music back OFF again. (for example, when I'm trying to hear a skulk.... my choice of music is quite loud <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> )

Does anyone know the command to stop music? And not cl_musicenable 0, since that can't be bound to a key afaik. Something like "stoptrack" or something....

And are there any other mp3 player commands I should know about?

Um... there's no good reason why you can't bind cl_musicenable 0. At a guess, a reason for it not working is because it gets checked only when a track starts.

No, cl_musicenable 0 DOES work, but I can't bind it to a key. It says "syntax bind x <command>" or something. I don't think it likes the "0".

Huhh try to do the bind with " " marks like this:

bind "x" "cl_musicenable 0"

not

bind cl_musicenable 0

If this doent work, try to do an alias

Example:

put this in a autoexec.cfg in /ns (create it with notepad if you dont have one)

alias "stopmusic" "cl_musicenable 0"

then bind a key to "stopmusic":

bind x stopmusic

should work, if it doesnt well sorry its late and im tired <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

alias might work, I think the bind syntax is screwed up.

should be..

bind g "cl_musicenable 0"

=P

if you dont wanna get the music all screwy just bind buttons to theese:

(basic cd style player controls)

bind [stop] cl_musicvolume 0
bind [resume] cl_musicvolume [volume]
bind [play/nexttrack] nexttrack

just remember that the play button doesn't work after youve pressed the stop button, the stop buton rewinds the track and [volume] is any number you want

ps im working on a volume script that lets you bind buttons to "louder" "quieter" "stop" and "play" look for that sometime in the future

If you dont like the intergrater player, try use winamp 2.9, it uses less sys res than amp.3

btw: i never listen to music while playing <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif'><!--endemo-->

I'd run it minimized also, with all the windows closed. Or you could use a blank skin or something.
Still, most modern PCs should be able to run WinAmp and NS no prob.
