Hi curry,
I'm on a Mac at the moment but if you are testing in the IDE, under
Rev's General preferences there is a check box for "Load QuickTime on
startUp" and a tool tip that suggests setting dontUseQT will fail if
Rev does loads QT on startup. Perhaps this preference is turned on?
No, this pref was off when I wanted to test without QT. And unless
I made
a mistake in testing, the specific QT behaviors I mentioned persisted
although QT was disabled, until I actually uninstalled QT. I am
aware of
the differences in behavior because I've used .mid and sound files
in some
games, so I noticed right away when the QT behaviors persisted.
Obviously, the disadvantage is not being able to test for QT and
non-QT
user scenarios unless there is an easier way than un/installation. I'm
hoping to find an easier way to switch. I think I made no mistake, but
when I install QT again (it's uninstalled right now) I'll retest
with a
very simple stack just to make sure, since I was using a complex
stack--a
nearly finished game--before.
A player without QuickTime on Windows will definitivley NOT play any
midi file!
You could use the (very bad to not) documented "maciSendString" command
on windows to play sounds, videos and midis on windows.
In RevOnline Signe Marie Sanne (username "sms") has two example stacks
that make use of "mciSendString".
Check them out, they might get you started:
-> mciMpegVideo
-> PlayWavMCI
