There's also the matter of when you disembark the tiny bronco, the midi stops. There are a lot, so I'll try to name them as I remember them...

EDIT: Unless they were all related and have been fixed...

Anything that is supposed to keep playing the same song but instead stops should be fixed.
 
To Use FF7 music you have to enable music_plugin = plugins/ff7music.fgp with the latest driver right?
 
I have a slight prob with FFVII music...

Whenever a certain music comes to its end..It pauses for a little while...A 3-2 secs.interval at that....Then starts playin again...Is there a solution for that? And also the gap also affects the Fanfare.mid because it plays delayed..

Well thats all Ive noticed with this music mod...All of my mp3s work...just the delayed stated above..Hope you can help me with this....


Keep it up! Everyone on Earth loves this Forum....whoever said "Old Dogs should lie(down)"?  :P

This is partly an MP3 thing, you won't experience looping issues with PSF music. Depending on the MP3 you're using, there may be a bit of blank space at the beginning or end of it also, which if you're feeling ambitious can be cut out using Audacity or other software.

Another thing to check is the settings on your input plugin. A smaller buffer means that it'll start playing sooner, but at the cost that you need a faster computer or it'll sound choppy and terrible.
 
Good Day Covarr!!

thanks for replyin anyway on with the question though:


So I need to adjust the buffer..umm...How do you do this?

Do you need to adjust every mp3 it uses or just the plugin itself?


Sorry if i'm askin so BAKA here ( pardon the Jap word ) coz I'm a noob when it comes to this..

Hope you'll be patient with me...
 
It depends. If they MP3s have spaces at the beginning or end, you need to manually edit the MP3. As for the buffer, that's a plugin setting you should be able to change from winamp or FF7Music.
 
Yes you adjust the buffer inside "inmp3" plugin (or whicherever input plugin you are using) by going to "configure".  Don't make the buffer too low. The quality and response you get will depend on a few factors, including your soundcard.  MP3's in Constant bitrate should be better than VBR (at least that is what I seem to read everywhere) and it is definately true of editing software.

If the buffer is low enough, the pause at the end and beginning of loop should not be noticible.  That is in theory anyway....I haven't tested looping MP3 properly, I use PSF :)
 
Well I'm using the In_mad.dll  plugin and I don't know where should I change the settings to make it lower. Its kinda confusing really...

If you can help me with this I'll be forever in your debt....

Thanks in advance!!!
 
Usually the default buffer isn't noticeable. I don't recall ever encountering a situation where it was > 1 second... for you to be experiencing 3-4 second delays, you might be better off cropping your mp3 files in audacity before you try to fux with the mp3 decoder settings... can you verify that the files don't have any silence at the beginning or end? Play one in a decent media player like winamp or something, set it to loop and turn crossfading off, and see if there's any silence. If so, then you should fix *that*. If not, then I'm not being helpful, haha.

Just a side note: are you using FinalFanTim's mp3's?

Yeah I'm using FinalFantims remastered ost.  And I played a bit in Winamp...It only has 1 second of delay or none at all.. And I also use some songs from other sources which suits my taste...But they don't seem to have that kind of delay. I didn't have to turn off crossfade coz its not even on in mine.

Newsflash though,,
I downloaded a Midi.lgp from this forum and it kinda helped in a way... And I changed the Fanfare.mp3 with another version of it..( it's kinda cool actually)
And tinkered with the buffer. ( I was practically sweating like a pig from don it..sheessh!)

Its now delayin 1-2 secs but that's an improvement. Some of the songs are kinda garbly. Especially my added mp3s...But The Remastered ones are OK..


Another Question though...

Are you also using FnalFanTims Remastered OST's? If so do you know what other songs are missing? Because When I load FFVII music I can only see 93 file counts of the songs...and when I use the PSFs Its says 97...What are the other songs that I missed?
 
The buffer options are in same place for mad.  They are found in configuration button and then on the Buffer tab.  I haven'yt really used buffer settings there but experiment with it :)

bedtime...for sure now. :P
 
I know for a fact that 90% of FFT's songs aren't yet looped properly (rather, I don't believe he's posted the looped versions yet), so I had to cut the silence out of all the tracks I got from him. They all loop seamlessly in winamp now.

As for the missing files, here's a guide I wrote up some time ago that should help you determine what you're missing:

Pay heed to this list and look for files that you don't have. Some are doubles, some are edited copies. You're gonna have to cut some of the mp3's to get the full list. If you're not sure where to cut, look for the original MIDI's online (they're easy to find) and play em.
 
Oh!..SOka!

Thanks for the list!...Anyway is audacity a free program? or ya have to purchase this?

Hmm..ya say your mp3's looped in winamp?..How do you do this? When I played mine it just ends and goes next to another song.....

I'm really BAKA huh?...I just really want to play this game as seamless as possible...I really appreciate the time and effort ya did..

Arigato Gozaimasu!
 
mondai inai!

There are three options in winamp: Shuffle, Loop, and Repeat. Turn Repeat on so that it'll play the same track over, then skip to the end of it, and see how much time there is between the song ending, and starting up again.

And yes, Audacity is a free program! And it's pretty easy to use, too.
 
I think it was Ficedula(?).... The guy behind LGP tools program. See Prog. information
 
yeah, ficedula, you can visit his webpage here though I don't think he posted the source code for FF7Music on it.
 
Does anybody know where could I get Midi ID's for "mogu= mogu.mp3" and Nointro=nointro.mp3? I can't seem to find them in the the .ini...

And is the profile tab has a fixed list of the midis?
  I really want to get all the MP3s of the songs and It seems Titeguy's list included them...But no matter how I insert the song it wouldn't show on the profile...

Plz. Help!!!!
