LeftMouseDownAction not Playing "somewavefile.wav"

[Mor3bane]

Not dure why, but this (code below) is not working.

Frustrating

Code: Select all

[Top7]
Meter=Image
ImageName=#@#button.png
SolidColor=0,0,0,1
ImageTint=#Scanner#
X=941
Y=73
H=40
W=40
ToolTipText=
ToolTipType=1
LeftMouseDownAction=Play "#@#\viewscreenslow.wav"

What's wrong here, please?

Code: Select all

LeftMouseDownAction=Play "#@#\viewscreenslow.wav"

change to

Code: Select all

LeftMouseUpAction=Play "#@#\viewscreenslow.wav"

for a start so you can drag the skin. Other than that as long as the wav file is in the root of the @Resources folder it will work. It did when I tested it.

Change to LeftMouseUpAction=Play "#@#viewscreenslow.wav".

#@# includes tail-end slash itself.

Change to LeftMouseUpAction=Play "#@#viewscreenslow.wav".

#@# includes tail-end slash itself.

Your clarification is correct, however Rainmeter simply ignores the "\" if it's still there.

[mak_kawa]

Ah... I missed, sorry.

Change to LeftMouseUpAction=Play "#@#viewscreenslow.wav".

#@# includes tail-end slash itself.

It seems there's nothing wrong with your code. I don't have the viewscreenslow.wav file, but if I replace it with an existent file, your meter is working well. So, maybe there's something with the viewscreenslow.wav file itself. Could you please post it, to can check?

I should be able to attach a .wav file shouldn't I?

Well, the file must be doofed if so, since it will not attach with a message saying "invalid extension".

I made a high quality wav with a neeto stereo effect, so I made it mono and it still wont work.

I am thinking the version of Wavpad 7.xx I am using produces files that Rainmeter 4.0 can't use.

The file plays in windows 10, however.

Not this is the reason why it's not attached. Not any file type can be attached, probably .wav can't be. Usually in such cases, the file should be packed (eg as a zip). Then this packed file can be uploaded.

ok, I am going to deserve an award - unfortunately the award will have a less than prestigious title...

The volume for Rainmeter was at zero.
