Get Funky ASCII ART with Colors and Playing music in the background for introduction animation

Message

Hackoo · #1 Post by **Hackoo** » 14 Sep 2022 02:00

I made this Hybrid Script [Batch/Powershell] with the help from other sources on the Net that can make some animation introduction with ASCII ART with Colors, but some users who test it on their computer say to me that the music doesn't play ?? I don't know why, perhpas security issues ?
My OS is Windows 10 (64bits) French Edition : GetFunky_ASCII_ART_Colors.bat

Code: Select all

<# : batch script section , Don't Delete This Line.
@rem # The previous line does nothing in Batch, but begins a multiline comment block in PowerShell. This allows a single script to be executed by both interpreters.
@echo off

What should i modify to this script to let the music play correctly ?
Thank you !

I tried ...

Code: Select all

Powershell -version 2 -executionpolicy bypass -Command ...

...in order to figure out if the code is backward compatible. Since this is the case I also guess security settings could be the culprit. You should ask the users what kind of error message they get.

Troubleshoot is difficult. Check the stupid issue first. Make sure, speak ok, mediaplayer install, administrator authority, version, patch, antivirus, .....
Anyway, I want to say your coding is good and interesting. However, for me, I will only use dos cmd only to avoid powershell or any uncontrol issue. Draw ASCII art with color, play music, all can be done by dos cmd only. No need powershell.
