Play Music automatically and randomly at music startup

Postby CiXel on Wed Oct 04, 2006 9:54 pm

Here's a question I'm having a bit of a time with.

When I turn on XLobby which goes right into music, how can I have music start up automatically and start playing randomly? What might I be missing? do I have to choose a particular playlist to "Play" and then randomize it?

Maybe you could make a screen event for your startup screen. Make an event that adds all to playlist, does a playall and sets to random. You would have a duplicate screen for music without the screen event for once inside XL.

We do this in web design often. Page 1=menu with welcome. Page 2 is clone of menu w/o welcome. All links to menu within other pages refer to page 2, you never return to page 1 unless you reload.

Make since? I dont know if it will work in XL, but it should

Yeah, that was my inital thought. I had forgotten about the whole "Redirect opening page" idea.

I just have to look into how to make an "Add ALL to playlist" event once I get home.

Thanks for the top menu idea.
