RM2K3 SOUND GLITCH

If you're using midi music, it might also be the background music in the area that's the problem. It's rare but some midi files aren't created quite correctly and if they get to the end of the song, RM2K3 fails to loop them properly. Usually the result is that the music stops at the end of the song, and sometimes your game crashes. But I think that other bugs also sometimes arise from the same type of problem, depending on the exact problem with the song's encoding.

If this is indeed the case, the solution is to replace the background music in that area. You can either convert the midi to an mp3 or simply replace it with a different midi file.

The problem can be quite difficult to detect unless you're specifically looking for it, since normal media players have no problem with the midi file, and even the RPG Maker 2003 editor can play it correctly - only in the game itself is there any problem.

I say it's rare, but I've encountered this problem twice personally, with two different songs, so it might just be rare that people find it. It's very rare for most background music to play all the way through unless the player leaves the computer while it's playing. Of the hundreds of people who played my game, only two reported the problem, and I never encountered it during the dozens of times I playtested it myself.

What version of RM2k3 do you have?

Or, to be more exact: What version of RPG_RT.exe does your project use? (Rightclick on RPG_RT.exe, click Properties, Version)

Hm...

Try the following:
1) Back up you project
2) Download Force Harmony from my homepage
3) Install it - this way you will lose MP3 support
4) To get MP3 support back (together with some other features, like MP3 loop points, effects for sounds, etc.), download Disharmony and install it

After that, the RPG Maker's sound system has been replaced with Disharmony. In most cases, this solves any sound problems.

This is an extremely vague problem. It could be a problem with rm2k3, but are you sure it's not your computer? If other people have your game, have they experienced this? If you have a spare computer or laptop, try your game on there. If not, I would suggest sending your game to a few testers to see if they also experience this.
