How to do multiple things in Minecraft

[Talckrer]

Hi,

 

I'm a bit new to modding and I'm trying to play Music mp3 externally(using a different API). I click an item ingame, the song starts to play nicely, but the Minecraft stops responding. I think using threads is the thing I need, but I don't know if it works with Minecraft like that.

 

Thanks,

I'm actually trying to make a folder in the /mods directory, where you can put any music you want and it creates a music disc ingame for every track. I have used .oggs and Minecrafts own sound system(it works), but it reads only from inside the mod zip(assets folder) and I like mp3s more.

 

But if there's a way to play .oggs elsewhere than assets folder, I would be greatful for that.

 

I'm using the libary down below for playing mp3s(works):

And here's my code for using the Player class in the library:

 

package Core.client.sounds;

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.util.ArrayList;

import javazoom.jl.decoder.JavaLayerException;
import javazoom.jl.player.Player;
import net.minecraft.client.Minecraft;
import Core.ModBFU.BlocksForUse;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.FMLCommonHandler;
import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.Side;

public class Sounds implements Runnable{

static ArrayList fileNames = new ArrayList();

public static ArrayList getList(){
	return fileNames;
}

public static String getNameAt(int index){
	return (String)fileNames.get(index);
}

public static void addName(String name){
	fileNames.add(name);
}

public static Player player;

public void playRecord(int index, double x, double y, double z){
	if (FMLCommonHandler.instance().getEffectiveSide() == Side.CLIENT && Minecraft.getMinecraft().gameSettings.soundVolume != 0.0F){
		try{
			String Path = BlocksForUse.newPath;
			File file = new File(Path + Path.charAt(2)/* the '\' character*/ + "Music" + Path.charAt(2) + getNameAt(index));
			if (file.exists()){
				try {
					InputStream stream = (InputStream)new FileInputStream(file);//the mp3 file
					javazoom.jl.player.Player player = new Player(stream);
					this.player = player;
					System.out.println("Made new player with file: " + file.getName());
					run();
				} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
					e.printStackTrace();
				} catch (JavaLayerException e) {
					e.printStackTrace();
				}

			}
		}finally{

		}
	}
}

@Override
public void run() {
	try {
		player.play();
	} catch (JavaLayerException e) {
		e.printStackTrace();
	}
}


}

 

Thanks in advance,
