FF7 Music (outdated)

[ravencell]

I followed the guide to the absolute letter but it will not play the mp3's at all when i play. it stays at the midi's. Anyone have any suggestions?

As far as i remember i emptied the awe.lgp then recompiled it and added it back in and it seemed to fix my problems, all i had was the mp3's playing, and they were all in time.

That's what i have been doing too.
And it works.

Heres my solution i posted one site ago in this thread

I've got the same Problem.
The easiest solution to mute the MIDI is:
Open midi.lgp with Highwind and click "Remove all". Then click "save" (enabling the backup function).
then you'll have a midi.lgp that wont play midis and a backup with all the music if you need it and the game wont play music and FF7Music will (set General MIDI in FF7Config).

I experience a bit problem with FF7Music after fixing another. It's about resuming tracks, when I play the game and move from one scene to another, the track starts again - even if it's set to Selective or None. What the?

Same here...
Christian says it's a Vista problem!?

But, on XP, there are texture problems when using a GeForce 8800!

Help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Yes, there are texture problems, I've experienced them too, and there is NO solution for this at the moment, except of playing the game in Windows Vista.

Maybe we should email NVIDIA...
maybe driver-maker teck geeks could solve that for us!

(upcoming drivers are not supposed to erode previously-working stuff!)

It's about resuming tracks, when I play the game and move from one scene to another, the track starts again - even if it's set to Selective or None. What the?

Is anybody else experiencing this error?

I'm using the FF7 4-CD soundtrack, and when "resuming" is set to "selective", the music starts from the start each time the scene changes (using miracle.flame inclusions & exclusions). The only way I can set it not to repeat from the beginning when the scene changes, is to set "resuming to "always". But, it shouldn't act that way, isn't it?

Here's a portion of my ff7music.ini file:
Code: [Select]

[Setup]InputPlugin=in_mp3.dllOutputPlugin=out_wave.dllVolume=255Pan=0Profile=CDtracksPaths=mp3\ProfileList=CDtracksLoop=1Remember=2ResumeAfter=aseri2,bat,chu,chu2,fan2,AutoVol=0ResumeExclusions=aseri2,bat,chu,chu2,crwin,crlost,fanfare,fan2,CustomFadeIn=1CustomFadeOut=1MidiFadeIn=1MidiFadeOut=1ObeyStop=1LoopFudge=2000PassThru=1MidiDevice=0MuteMidi=0MaxMidi=0EmulateRamp=1StopDelay=1

Thanks for helping,

Fixed by choosing "always" rather than "selective".

edit: but people here are not using "always" and it's working for them... that's weird!

Ok I browsed all through this thread, and I have the problem of, FF7Music working fine, but I can't hear any of the sound effects..

I did Christians method, but the music restarts every time you go into a new screen. I notice people saying you can mute Midi's in the sound options on your computer, but I can't seem to find that on mine..stupid vista...I just hate vista more and more everyday, I wish they didn't include it with new computers...So..any one can tell me if I have to edit so registry stuff, or what..

Otherwise my FF7Music plays fine but I can't hear the sound effects. Then christian's method works but hearing the music restart every screen is annoying..


EDIT: Ok well I used the file that jmdphys supplied, and reading the previous post I tried setting the resume to "always" and it seems to work every now and then, sometimes it starts the song over when switching certain screens. But somethings it pauses for like less than a second and continues to song from where it was..so it's pretty good for now I guess..I just started a new game and just got Tifa, so I don't know how it will effect the music in the long run but it's good for now I guess...

I keep keep getting a message "Access Violation" when i try to configure ff7 music.  Does anyone know how to fix this?

I'm trying to use the PSF sound files, but no luck : (

Could someone possibly send me a ini or something already configured i cant get rid of this error...

 

[nerox2]

I got the program running wiht psfs but i cant figure out why some of the fmvs wont play any music and some will.  Also a few in game cut scenes are silent as well.  Anyone know how to fix this??

example = when the video of the first mako reactor exploding plays, there is no sound or music at all.

 

[device00]

Do a test by leaving blank "Emulate Ramps", "Delay stops" and "Maximize midi on song not found".
Select "Loop custom files" "Resuming = None" "Mute midi on custom playback" and "Obey stop".

On psf plugin configuration, select "Force all songs to play indefinitely"

With me this works, I had a problem like yours. I could hear the music but not the sound effects.

 

[Rudicron]

Also, in the configuration for the out_wave plugin, you'll want "Reset to original value on stop" checked, otherwise, when a piece fades out, your wave output volume will be stuck at zero.

2 years after my last post here, I've decided to try playing FF7 once again. I've got the Crisis Core OST and would REALLY like to play the game with Crisis Core mp3s in the background.

I followed the 1st post's instructions word by word, downloaded the latest version of FF7music, but still can't get it to work for me, even after these 2 years.. >_<;;

I still get MIDI music playing together with the mp3 music..

I'm using SoundMAX with XGLite, and have muted the 'SW Synth' in my WinXP Volume Control toolbar.

In the game menu, I went to Config, and Set the music volume to 0, but the MIDI music plays everytime I enter a new scene, e.g. go into a battle, enter a Mako reactor. I have to re-enter the game menu, then Config again, dab a little on the zero-ed music volume bar to switch off the MIDI music. As you know, this is impossible to do during a battle..

Help, anyone?

Go into the config in game and turn down the volume.

Well, I tried :

If I turned ALL the volumes to 0 in the config, I'd have NO sound effects.. right?

Only the music volume to 0. Works fine for me. :wink:

But somehow the soundtrack doesn´t play indefinitely, even if I follow the instructions.
Does someone know a way? :|

Abit of topic - has any one listened to the Crisis core sound track - there are a few reworked FF7 tracks in there which would go well with FF7 music...

I've got a problem. Although people who have had the same problem seem to have resolved it, I'm still stuck here trying to get FF7music to search for files. The file path is correct, I've added quotation marks and tried pressing the return key above and below the path. Anything I'm doing wrong?
