I tried instaling DesigneD4 2.0 Final by Immortal, and it installs fine and everthing appears, but everytime I click on any modules, I get the above error message.
Any ideas?
Sounds like a sound driver issue.
If you have no audio card disable sounds in the theme popup.
The error is when the panels slide open and play the
audio mp3 files.
Wierd you dont have a codec to play mp3...
But, Winamp works fine in the default austerity theme. I've never had any sound problems in the past =/ And MP3s play in DesigneD4, just that constant error message is displayed.
Sounds more like the mp3 driver for Windows wasn't installed. Here is the M$ link as to how to check on it and install it.

I reinstalled all the default sound drivers, but the problem persists. I was wondering, how could it be a driver issue, if the sound works correctly? Any other ideas? I thought that it might be because I disabled Windows sound notifications, but I've enabled all the sounds again, and it is still the same error.
EDIT: Turning sound off in the theme popup still produces the error.
Applications like Winamp don't use the M$ MCI codec. They use their own mp3 codec, at least that is how I understand it.
Recommend anything else I can try? Pretty weird that other themes have no similar errors. The error occurs when panels slide open and play a sound like Immortal said, but I've tried the Ghost theme and it plays its own sounds fine.
Now Litestep locks up when I open a new playlist. But it plays the current playlist. Hm..
could be the difference between using WAV and MP3 files.
As for the playlist thing. LS will lock up until winamp loads the full playlist. You can fix this by loading your winamp control module threaded.
Thanks for the help.
Immortal, would you mind if I encode them into Wavs?
I used pro tools to encode them to mp3 for a small file size
and never heard anyone have this issue.
That theme has been out for while now also.
If you want to encode them to wav go ahead
I don't mind what you do to the theme at all.
Really would like to know the answer tho...
Try and encode them to a different format of mp3
and post what format you choose if you can.
Thanks
Edit:
I reconverted them for you in different format.

Try these out...
Thanks. Ill edit this post after I try it out.
EDIT: I uninstalled Litestep, then done fresh installation of your theme (replaced the mp3s in the sounds folder with your reconverted ones), but the error still appeared.
Ive also updated to LiteStep Beta Build (63)RC3, but still the same.
:] Maybe im just the anomaly.
RaVaG3r do a !playsound bang to a file like wav or another mp3.
I am curious if this an Xlabel issue.
One other thing you can try...
The Bang's in the script.rc are not quoted Ex: "quoted"
!PlaySound $SoundDir$sound_in.mp3
Search the Script.rc for !Playsound and quote them!
Ex:
!PlaySound "$SoundDir$sound_in.mp3"
I am not sure why I didn't do that anyway it breaks my principle rule of qouting variables.
Your machine must be picky to not having "" on vars.
That's the last thing I can think of for you...
That really could be it if he set his LS Profile folder to his Windows Profile Folder. I could really see it complaining about trying to play c:\Documents as an audio file.
Mostl likely it, I think. Here's one line I found:
*Script exec !IfEq Sound "1" !PlaySound $SoundDir$sound_in.mp3
All seem to be done this way, w/o quotes.
W00t. I quoted the variables and now it works fine. Thanks a lot for all the help =D Only the start bar still produces the error.
EDIT: I also edited Bar.rc, which had two instances of the unquoted !Playsound, so I edited them both similar to this:
Base_btn_upOnLeftClick !Execute [!ShowMenu] [!PlaySound "$SoundDir$menu.mp3"]
I experimented, but theres another problem.
What I did was quote all the !Playsound instances in Script.rc. Then the bar didnt work, so I quoted the menu.mp3 !Playsound in Bar.rc, which didnt solve the problem. However, removing the [ and ] around [!PlaySound "$SoundDir$menu.mp3"] solved it. Now, when I click on the start bar, it loads Menu.mp3 into the current playlist, so my music stops.
And, even though I dont get the error message. I don't hear sound_in or sound_out, for example like in *Script bang !ShowAmp.
Oh, and I installed Litestep into the root C:\ drive.
Try it this way, where:
*Script exec !IfEq Sound "1" !PlaySound $SoundDir$sound_in.mp3
is converted to:
*Script exec !IfEval ( "%{Sound}" = "1" ) {!PlaySound "$SoundDir$sound_in.mp3"}
Can't hurt, and in older versions of MZscript, I had all kinda of weird things happen w/ !ifEq.
I changed everything to
*Script exec !IfEval ( "%{Sound}" = "1" ) {!PlaySound "$SoundDir$sound_in.mp3"}
but, I still get the error.
Grr... Maybe I should just delete every !Playsound, then I could still use the theme?
Whats the error say? I thought you had a problem with it replacing your playlist.
That was with !ifEq, but with !ifEval, I get the error.
I guess it shall remain a mystery. I'll use Reluna. Thanks for the help anyway guys.
