block land can not load music files

[rotwhip3]

hey!

i just got block land again after years of not playing and i was about to start my first world, and guess what?

i clicked the start a game button, clicked start, and the weird yellow screen with the loading bar popped up, same as always.
it loaded all of the default addons just fine, but 3/4 of the way through loading the music files, it froze and block land stopped responding.

I'm on a mac if that means anything.

if you all could help that would be great!

Look whether one of your music files is over 500kB. Delete it.
If thats not the problem, go disable them one after each other until it works. Delete the last disabled file and reenable all other.

The game only freaks out about music files >1Mb, and those don't even load.


You could have too many datablocks, but that may not be it. Try running with only defaults and see if it still happens.

So the limit was raised, then its 1Mb but sometimes they dont done load, the game gets stuck loading. Also music files are 0 Datablocks

*dont dont

For posting music, the limit is 500Kb as a rule, but the game has a coded limit of 1Mb.

Music files create a datablock for each music file. I don't see how music would possibly work otherwise.

A music file creates... wait
I'm thinking about prints...
Sry, mind failure

???

prints still make datablocks, i think prints may actually make more than one.

[Blocki]

Either music or prints don't create datablocks, I actually can't find Kalph's post again to quote it.

Back on topic.
Make sure none of the music files your running have stereo sound.
I found when running a .OGG loop in Blockland that has a stereo sound it will get stuck on "loading music"

Also,
How long did you wait after it stopped responding?
Because my Blockland when starting a server stops responding for about 30 seconds - 1 minute.
Be patient.
If all else fails:

One last thing.
Its "Blockland" not "Block Land"

all my add ons are the default add ons, and yes i know its blockland but my computer says its misspelled.
and I've waited for about 10 min. max before giving up.

[Blocki]

You no delete a default addon. You no delete a default music file, you disable it...
