Hi, this fading of the midi as create sound, NEEDS a new command to make it
NOT fade.
with all this fading its really messing up my background music in my world.
nothing works to fix this problem, (yes nothing) :-(

the following ideas others have told me to try DO NOT fix this problem

1. adding the same midi all over the world, reason when you loose site of
the farthest object its on, the midi will restart even though it never
finished.

2. "create noise midi url" will not work, because then it will play all the
way through and if you come near a another midi it will not start till the
1st one finishes.

3. having a bot control all the midi's, why should I bog down my connection
with a bot with the AW browser should be doing all this?

4. why dose "create sound midi url" play all midi's in your site range 1 by
1 tell they all play even though your not in there area? you can be sitting
in 1 spot and you would hear all of them even though your right next to the
closest midi object?

easy solution: put "This world is 2.2 optimized, please do not use 3.1" in
your welcome message...

That don't help me any, I use 3.1, I am never going back to 2.2 LOL
All we need is a new simple midi commands to pick if we want it to fade or
not.

AW creators "hint" "hint" :-)
create sound midi url fx=fade
create sound midi url fx=nofade

Talks and more: http://www.activeworlds.com/roland/roland.html )

It would be better if it was an option in the settings menu. Then there
wouldn't be that extra code in your action box hogging more cell space than
required. :-)

Well, when 3.2 comes out, you can use a midi that keeps moving with you
(whatever its called)

the derek, create noise will play the mid yes but not the way I want it to.
you see, with create noise you will hear it with no fading but when you come
in contact with another midi it will not play till the 1st one you hit
finishes.
I have my world set up kinda like how games are set up, you have diff
background music for each area.
Ex. I got a certain midi playing only inside buildings, and certain midi
only playing outside the buildings.
That's why create noise will not work.
I need create sound with no fading just like it was in 2.2

Hey Goober King, here's another bone to pick with AWCI =P

Countless people have complained about the new midi fading feature and AWCI
hasn't done anything to reverse what they changed.

Oh and, uh, here's a temporary solution. If you have a lot of objects
named, say create name music, just do create sound ____.mid name=music, and
your midi will play on all those objects...
