Oh, wonderful! FF7Music woes

[KojiroTakenashi]

Out_DS for output

In_MP3 for input, used only to see if it's working.

General MIDI set in FF7Config

Music Directories set

Using Ficelib 1.10

Ok, what gives?

I always use out_wave, because the out_ds was not working for me...

...is there not a newer FiceLib than that one?

 

[KojiroTakenashi]

Yeah, but if you look on Fice's site, it says it won't work with anything higher.

I tried out_wave too, so I doubt that's the problem.

...however, you /can/ use the latest FiceLib ***IF*** you use the latest FF7Music DLL .... the URL escapes me at the moment (partly because this is Monday night [or Tuesday morning], never a good time to request details from me). Try the very latest DLL (you may have to search these forums for a link).

 

[KojiroTakenashi]

It solved absolutely nothing, but it's nice to know that when it works, it will work better.

 

[ficedula]

Heh

Maybe you're just screwing up royally on the config process, Kojiro. One tiny space in the config file can screw everything up.

Screw it, send me your ff7music.ini at [email protected]

 

[Rubicant]

Good lord! You really did screw up majorly on your config file. Your volume was set to like 35..the max is 255! No wonder you weren't hearing anything. I'm sending you a cut-down version to you via e-mail right about now. It should work just fine.

 

[KojiroTakenashi]

WAVE volume has to be set low. If it's not, then you know what happens?

BOOM!

I'm running a custom-rigged sound system. Rather than bother with constantly setting different volume knobs up and down, I leave them at one point and use the WaveOut slider on my volume control.

I AM hearing things. It's not FF7Music, it's the regular MIDI.

I'll try the config, though.

Edit: Nope. Still doesn't work.

Then since I don't know anything the directories or anything on your computer, you are on your own. It really only takes common computer sense to get this to work. Just do a TON of experimentation. That's what I ended up doing. And it really doesn't help to have long-ass filenames, either. I'd try using different plugins as well, but it sounds like you have good ones already. Just experiment.
