Trouble with ambient music [Solved]

So I'm trying to add custom ambient, but I have been having issues where only some of the tracks play

Did you normalize those tracks in your sound editor before export?

Also I had a look at some of my custom .mus files and compared them with yours. Why don't you try setting the priority of all of the music to 1.0?
ScriptInit looks fine and your .reqs are fine.

Marth8880 · Post by **Marth8880** » Sat Feb 28, 2015 6:02 pm

Your .mus file should generally only have one start track, one middle track, one end track, and the victory/defeat tracks. What SoundStream() in the .mus file is calling is the SoundStream() property names from the .snd file, not the individual segments.

So my .mus file now looks like this

    MinPlaybackTime(20.0);

}

    FadeOutTime(1.0);

    MinPlaybackTime(20.0);

    MinInactiveTime(5.0);

    SoundStream("pub_end");

}

Music()

{

    Name("imp_end");

    Priority(0.0);

    FadeInTime(1.0);

    FadeOutTime(1.0);

    MinPlaybackTime(20.0);

    MinInactiveTime(5.0);

    SoundStream("imp_end");

}

Music()

{

    Name("victory");

    Priority(1.0);

    FadeInTime(0.0);

    FadeOutTime(1.0);

    MinPlaybackTime(20.0);

    MinInactiveTime(5.0);

    SoundStream("victory");

}

Music()

{

    Name("defeat");

    Priority(1.0);

    FadeInTime(0.1);

    FadeOutTime(1.0);

    MinPlaybackTime(20.0);

    MinInactiveTime(5.0);

    SoundStream("defeat");

}

[/code]

ald_middle now works, however ald_start still does not work.

Marth8880 · Post by **Marth8880** » Sun Mar 01, 2015 5:41 pm

Like jedimoose said, you're gonna want to change the Priority of the start, middle and end Music() properties to 1.0 and change the Priority of the victory and defeat Music() properties to something greater than 1.0 - I believe the vanilla music files use a value of 9.0.

Also, unless you're using any of the stock hero music for any of your heroes or something, you're gonna wanna remove this line from your LUA:

Code: Select all

OpenAudioStream("sound\\global.lvl",  "cw_music")

ZoomV · Post by **ZoomV** » Sun Mar 01, 2015 9:54 pm

Ah that fixed it. However its really quiet, is there a parameter to amplify the tracks?

Marth8880 · Post by **Marth8880** » Sun Mar 01, 2015 10:29 pm

Well, like jedimoose said as well, have you normalized all of your music tracks in Audacity?

ZoomV · Post by **ZoomV** » Sun Mar 01, 2015 11:09 pm

What do you mean when you say "normalize?"

that fixed it. However I had a issue crop up since setting priority to 1.
When playing as republic it plays ald_start when it should and switches to ald_middle when it should, but it never plays pub_end, instead it plays ald_middle all the way to the end where it correctly plays victory.

When playing as the empire, it goes straight to playing imp_end, and plays that all the way to the victory/defeat.

Everything else is as it is in the OP.

I tried staggering the priorities so that ald_start is 1.0, ald_middle is 2.0, pub_end/imp_end is 3.0 and victory/defeat is 9.0, but that was no change.

This:

Code: Select all

SetAmbientMusic(REP, 1.0, "ald_start",  0,1)
    SetAmbientMusic(REP, 0.8, "ald_middle", 1,1)
    SetAmbientMusic(REP, 0.2, "pub_end",    2,1)
    SetAmbientMusic(IMP, 1.0, "ald_start",  1,1)
    SetAmbientMusic(IMP, 0.8, "ald_middle", 1,1)
    SetAmbientMusic(IMP, 0.2, "imp_end",    0,1)

Should look more like this:

Code: Select all

SetAmbientMusic(REP, 1.0, "ald_start",  0,1)
    SetAmbientMusic(REP, 0.8, "ald_middle", 1,1)
    SetAmbientMusic(REP, 0.3, "pub_end",    2,1)
