[UT] RMusicPlayer beta - music player for UT.

[Raven]

Done few changes to native part. Now music stops automatically if you're trying to play new one and didn't stop previous. Expect update this evening .

[Buff Skeleton]

Trying out the new version; I updated the gameinfo code and all, but I'm still getting the crashes if I haven't started a game from a normal save. This crash also happens if I start a new game from UT and trigger music before saving:

Code: Select all

General protection fault!

History: UObject::ProcessEvent <- (RMusic_Player Entry.RMusic_Player0, Function RMusicPlayer.RMusic_Player.BeginPlay) <- ULevel::SpawnActor <- (RMusic_Player) <- UObject::ProcessEvent <- (Trigger EXU2-BI01-Stupid.Trigger16, Function Engine.Trigger.Touch) <- TouchTo <- AActor::BeginTouch <- ULevel::MoveActor <- APawn::physWalking <- APawn::performPhysics <- AActor::Tick <- TickAllActors <- ULevel::Tick <- (NetMode=0) <- TickLevel <- UGameEngine::Tick <- UpdateWorld <- MainLoop

Oh, and now I'm even getting this when I load from a regular save. Weird.

[Raven]

I don't know what this error mean

EDIT:
OK, I've done quicksave/quickload and save/load and nothing happens... well music starts as usual, but nothing except that.

EDIT 2:
Every single change will be in first post!

EDIT 3:
Waff, in SDK you have RMusic_SingleGameInfo2 (only save support) try using this one.

PS. I've released new version (fixed triggering on dedicated server)

[Buff Skeleton]

OK, I'll try that and report back with results (I downloaded the new version first, too).

[Edit1] Using the RMusic_SingleGameInfo2 code. No crashing when I trigger music from a new game, a normal load, or a quickload!

However, if I start a map where music is not playing, trigger the music, and then restart, the music keeps playing, even if I load an entirely different map. I can get around this by having a silent MusicController set to PlayOnStart, but wasn't there a way to make the music stop when loading or restarting a map? I remember this issue from the old RvMp3Player code.

Oh, SOMETIMES the music stops when I load a different save or restart the map, but usually it keeps playing.

Also--this is really minor, but--perhaps later on you could add a display of what the volume is above the volume control bar, so that you know if you are at 0.63 or 0.75 or whatever. Just might make it easier for OCD people like me to get their slider just where they want it.

[Raven]

OK, It's few changes in gameplay code, will check it out. And no problem, will change menu to display current volume. I'll update everything tonight.

EDIT:

I've made few changes in RMusic_SingleGameInfo2 and RMusic_Controller. Now gametype detects if you've loaded a save and stops music if something is playing.

[Buff Skeleton]

Everything seems to work perfectly offline now. I'll keep testing later today, and I'll test the dedicated / listen server stuff again.

Thanks for your hard work, Raven.

[Raven]

Np. There's one thing I'll fix on dedicated/listen server (it doesn't affect stability, but will look nicer ). But on dedicated/listen servers you should just use pure gameplay, without any RMusicPlayer implementations (since RMusic_Player will detect levelchange).

[Buff Skeleton]

So remove any code from my CoopGameInfo before testing? Will do.

[Raven]

RMusicPlayer updated. In menu you can see current volume (0-100).

EDIT:
Are there any bugs/crashes ??

I found that DSP may need to load whole audio file into memory. I can add it as an option.

[Buff Skeleton]

Been a while and I still haven't tested coop yet, but I have experienced no bugs or crashes.

[Frieza]

Would this work for online Deathmatch maps?

[Buff Skeleton]

I don't see why it wouldn't. Raven said that the gametype code is only necessary for controlling save/loads now; the rest is controlled client-side.

[zYnthetic]

It has before. Admittedly this is the one way I tested it myself.

[Raven]

It should work without any problems.

[ElectricIce]

so how far is it from finish? xD
