Title: I Want My MP3!!!
Author: Tido Kenobi


John Williams is an amazing composer. I think we can all agree that the Star Wars soundtrack resides in a special place in our hearts. I also think that if I hear it one more time, I’ll have a hemorrhage. If you disagree and enjoy playing JK3 to a never-ending cycle of SW songs, then save yourself the time of reading this article and go write some random comments in people’s profiles or whatever else you do here. For the rest of you who want to be able to enjoy your controversial mp3 collection while you play, read on.

I feel for all of you who have tried to find a way to make a CFG play mp3s just like I did. A whole lot of time wasted away. Some of you are using killtrackers to play your mp3s, but are finding yourself in conflict with the rules on those scripts. If only there was a way to bind to your keyboard a play, pause, next, and previous button that would play a nice selection of your mp3s and run it in the background without taxing your system. Well start licking my boots because I found a way.

First off, if you don’t already have it, go download Winamp – a very small and streamlined mp3 player that you will love. It’s free and the file size is around 2 megabytes. I’m not going to cover how to use all of Winamp because it’s easy to understand and everything you need to know is on that site – no need to reinvent the wheel.

Winamp has a really neat feature about it called Global Hotkeys. This allows you to set keys or combination of keys to control the player from anywhere with just your keyboard – even in JK3. In Winamp, look in the very top-left corner and you will see a symbol that looks like a slanted infinity sign. Click that and then select Options -> Preferences (or while Winamp is selected, press Ctrl+P). In Winamp Preferences look under General Preferences for Global Hotkeys. Make sure that the ‘enabled’ box is checked. You are now ready to start setting your keys. Figure1, Figure2

To set your Play button, select it from the list of functions. Then click in the textbox at the bottom labeled Hotkey. Now hit the button or combination of buttons (example: Ctrl+uparrow) you want the function to be assigned to. You should see the button(s) appear in the textbox. Next push the ‘Set’ button to apply the setting. Go through what commands you want and assign the keys. After you close the Preferences window, the keys should start working. I highly recommend using a combination of keys (I use Ctrl + my arrow keys) because otherwise when trying to do something else, you will start sending a ton of commands to Winamp. Figure3

That’s really it. It’s a very simple thing to do, and it’s great to be able to listen to other things without jumping in and out of JK3. A few other tips would be to set your Winamp volume to 25% because you want the music to be background music and not overpower important sounds of the game. I also want to warn you against playing really sad or mellow songs as you will lose all desire to defeat your opponent, deactivate your saber, and wish that /amhug was enabled. Keep Rawking!

I just thought I should let you know that I updated my video card drivers and ever since I've had trouble with JK3 working right, which is one reason why I haven't been around all weekend. If I can't get it to work today I'm probably just gonna get rid of these new drivers and go back to the way it was before. See ya soon :)

Nice of you to drop by. One thing I hate to see is for a post to go unanswered for three months. :)

I'm here now, and I plan to stay as long as I can. Maybe we will meet some day, then you can pwn me with a saber. :)

Hello Tido.
I had a great time on classes before, and thanks for the movement training.
Im thinking about doing a guest class (with approval of JAK+) for CTF.

It will be something like 'Basic tips, tricks and routes for CTF'

Anyway
Hope to play with you/against you some more on the servers!

I now realize my friend that I went through the list on my profile and personally thanked everyone, when in fact there were people here that didn't get thanks from me, silly silly me.

Todd,

My friend, in such a short span you've become the epitome of what this Academy represents and I'm proud to see you at this point of our JA career with me. I like your thinking, I like the way you duel, you're always thinking, always looking for a new way, a new cranny, some nitchy to take a swing at and make a win out of, and I, LOVE, IT! Our training during our final days was essential for the both of us. I'll never forget our training together. I feel if the old trials were still around, we would have done extremely well going over EVERYTHING we went over. Together we arrive at Knight, and now it's our turn to sculpt these fellow friends into a force to be reckoned with elsewhere, no pun intended. We will talk later and discuss some things related to classes and other things, just you and I, but for now, thank you my friend, it's an honor....it really is....
