I believe the reason the game shut down is because the game only supports 2 types of media file the wave and Ogg audio files so when the game gets to this point it's trying to run a file that it does not understand and shuts down.
2nd if you want to have ship meet I found that the best way is use the target_throttle command this will direct your ships to the target ship here is an example below.
<event id_arme="34987cf9-2e10-41b8-9c0f-d26aabbca9e4">
<if_exists name="Celestra" />
<if_variable name="Libran" comparator="NOT" value="1.0" />
<add_ai type="TARGET_THROTTLE" targetName="Libran" value1="0.4" name="Celestra" />
<set_variable name="Libran" value="1.0" />
</event>
3rd variable
= is normally the variable that is currently set
!= means not set but is normally followed by set_variable command
Hope this helps

Thank you! I'm evidently still learning how this all works and knowing what is wrong definitely helps. Thanks
I did what you said and everything is fixed, except the sound file still doesn't play. If it helps I downloaded the sound off of youtube and then changed the extention to ogg. Could that affect it?
There are 2 types of .ogg file one is a video and the other is a audio and to the best of my knowledge the audio is the only one that can be used. What program are you using to convert the file the one I am using is audacity a free program that has allot of functions so many that I still have figure them all out (lol). This is also the recommended program by Mike one of the leading script writers here. I provided a link to it here
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
Dwayne is right - you don't just need to change the extension you actually need to convert the audio file to an ogg. Use Audacity, make sure the file in the right location, and your problem should be solved.
