I totally forgot about volume-control window :). Will add it today.

EDIT:

UWindow used for volume control has been added :). Just click onRMusicPlayer :: Volume Control in mod menu.

EDIT 2:

Forgot to say. Debug mode is on (bIncludeDebugInfo = true), so every change (like volume change) is inside log. I'll turn it off in full version.

It's RMusicPlayer, new package, new code. It uses FMODEX in opposition to RvMp3Player which uses FMOD 3. Code should be compatible with RvMP3. Just to make sure I've removed native function numeration.

BTW I've found a bug with level switching, It's now active :).

I'm definitely going to switch to this once its bugs are ironed out, though, since it is basically the same thing, but better.

And I didn't end up getting a chance to test it yesterday, but I just wanted to be sure: this still will work with galaxy, right? It just uses FMOD but doesn't require you to use FMOD as your sound driver in UT... right?

It just uses FMODEX to play music. It's independent of your sound driver in UT.

This seems to be working much better, but since it still crashes dedicated servers, I can't test it online until UA is around next. Here's what server.log says when I try to connect to my own dedicated server (it works for any map that isn't using the RMusicPlayer or RvMp3Player):

Code: Select all

Critical: appError called:
Critical: Assertion failed: ((UGameEngine*)(XLevel->Engine))->GEntry [File:C:\UTDev\Engine\Src\UnPawn.cpp] [Line: 370]

Offline I get a few things:

Code: Select all

ScriptWarning: RMp3Player Entry.RMp3Player0 (Function RvMp3Player.RMp3Player.Tick:0032) Accessed None
ScriptWarning: RMp3Player Entry.RMp3Player0 (Function RvMp3Player.RMp3Player.Tick:003A) Accessed None

ScriptWarning: RMp3Player Entry.RMp3Player0 (Function RvMp3Player.RMp3Player.Tick:004A) Accessed None


And this after I loaded another level:

Code: Select all

Init: RMusic_Player :: RMusic_Stop :: Sound released
ScriptWarning: EXU2Game EXU2-BI02-HugeHam.EXU2Game2 (Function EXU2BI.EXU2Game.PostLogin:00BB) Accessed None


It seems much more robust than before so far, though! I will test some listen server stuff soon, probably today if UA is around.

i havent seen the code myself or even downloaded this yet, but ill base my assuptions on the "getentry" portion of the error

this looks like a similar error the old mp3player had if i remember correctly


the entry level does not exist on dedicated servers, you should check the netmode and double check that getentrylevel isnt none before attempting to do anything with it
theres my two cents....

and cheers for making a badass alternative to umx (im especially liking the support for fading this time round as well as the additional supported formats)

edit:

really small nitpick but do you think you could make the independant volume also scale by the normal music volume slider, i just find it annoying having to adjust the volume independantly all the time, if it scaled with its own volume and the music volume you could easily tune both umx and the mp3/other music to be equal levels of loudness :P

in simpler terms, volume = rmusicplayervolume * utmusicvolume;

just a thought

We are still having weird issues with listen servers. As the host, music plays fine for me when triggered, but not for the client. When the client rejoins the server while music is playing, music stops. The client still doesn't hear anything. Restarting the level just does the same stuff. There's nothing in the logs to indicate a problem, either.

UA: Ok, will check everything, but new compilation seems to work much better on dedicated servers. All bugs was in gametypes. New (fixed) gametypes are at wiki: http://wiki.beyondunreal.com/UE1:RMusic ... support.29 I think that only SP requires additional coding in game info, because of that save support. I've tested player on pure DM map and it works without any problems, so maybe you can switch to pure coopgame2.
I can make an option in ini, to use current volume or UT volume. The problem is, that each time volume is changed FMOD function has to be called, so I can put this in tick.

Waffnuffly: try using new gametype, or return to coopgame2. Will try to hunt down that bug.

Code: Select all

ScriptWarning: RMp3Player Entry.RMp3Player0 (Function RvMp3Player.RMp3Player.Tick:0032) Accessed None
ScriptWarning: RMp3Player Entry.RMp3Player0 (Function RvMp3Player.RMp3Player.Tick:003A) Accessed None
ScriptWarning: RMp3Player Entry.RMp3Player0 (Function RvMp3Player.RMp3Player.Tick:0042) Accessed None
ScriptWarning: RMp3Player Entry.RMp3Player0 (Function RvMp3Player.RMp3Player.Tick:004A) Accessed None

It's about RvMp3Player, not RMusicPlayer :).

yeah i just looked in waffs gameinfo (coopgame2 subclass) and it has 'NewPlayer.GetEntryLevel()' in postlogin, im guessing this would be a cause of such an error on a dedicated server

anyway, keep up the good work :0

Tnx, doing my best ;). After that listen/dedicated server problem, I'll try to fix DSP plugin support and additional codecs since those things doesn't work right now.

After looking into FMODEX examples I think I'll add special actor to control DSP plugins.

EDIT:
I've found and fixed fading/crossfading bug (in old version it stops at 53%). Still no luck on DSP plugins.

EDIT:

RMusicPlayer updated. Changelog:
- changed definition of function RMusic_Play. Now it looks like this:

Code: Select all

native simulated final function bool RMusic_Play(string File, bool Loop);

- changed definition of function RMusic_Stop (removed parameter). Now it looks like this:

Code: Select all

native simulated final function RMusic_Stop();

- fixed fading/crossfading bug
- added configuration menu in Advanced Properties (thus menu itself isent used yet)

Please update every class which uses functions RMusicPlay/RMusicStop and remove last parameter (bool).

Please DO NOT USE RMusic_DSPController, it's still in development.

UA fixed the dedicated server crash, but not the listen server silence issue.

Haven't tested the new version yet, but I am just now getting some save/load issues like before. Loading a quicksave, in this case.

- If you have music playing, die, and load a save where music was not playing, the music you had playing doesn't stop.

I had a couple weird volume control issues, but I'll try the new version first before I report those in case they have been fixed.

Next
