But I noticed some people used a method of putting their sound files that were not MIDI in other folders, whereas they probably referenced them within the game somehow. Do you have to use a method of some sort to play a sound from a file included within the GM folder or something? Or does it simply come down to making small MP3's/Wav's if it must be used? -------------------- If you like my webcomic (Or, if your just being nice XD), please vote for my webcomic at "Top Web Comics" at this link: http://topwebcomics.com/?searchterm=Super+Smash+Bros%2c Thanks!

you can use a .dll to externally load them. This requires Gamemaker registered though

as a bonus you DON'T need a dll to do this!

I'm pretty sure to use a .dll you need PRO too.

As a special bonus GM is really easy to buy/pirate so it doesn't really matter.
