.VGM Music format

[Xaser]

I don't find ZDoom very bloated at all, to be honest, considering how something as "simple" as iTunes is over 50 megs now. @_@

I know that "filesize == more features!" isn't exactly accurate, but as the project grows, it's only natural for the .exe to grow as well. All in the name of progress, it seems...

[bagheadspidey]

Oh, very well. I can throw in the whole kit and kaboodle if it pleases you lot.

Does the whole kit and kaboodle include sid tunes by any chance? *crosses fingers*

[StrikerMan780]

sid = A Format Extension, like .SID? , or is that an abbreviation for another system?

Supported systems are:

Code: Select all

AY 	 ZX Spectrum/Amstrad CPC
GBS 	Nintendo Game Boy

He is undoubtably talking about this. Unfortunately I don't see it in your list of supported systems.

Ahhh... I see now. The Commodore 64.

[bagheadspidey]

Of course! =)

libsidplay2 is GPL, so no, that won't happen.

Great Giana Sisters

I was introduced to that game through a shareware distributor that was offering it as "Supor Mario Brothers" because all the graphics had been hacked to look Mario-like. The text had been hacked too, so there was no mention of the Giana Sisters anywhere.

[StrikerMan780]

Sweeeet. Now is there a way to choose which track of an NSF File to play? If not, maybe something should be added to SNDINFO, or Mapinfo/LocalSetMusic/SetMusic, a value for Track Number.

Like

Code: Select all

map MAP01 "Retro Land"
{
   sky1 = "sky1", 0.0
   music = "D_NSFSNG", 5 // 5th Track 
   levelnum = 2
   next = "MAP02"
   cluster = 8
}

Code: Select all

SetMusic("D_NSFSNG", 0, 6) // 6th Track

or, the sndinfo method

Code: Select all

// $nsftrack <lumpname> <newname> <tracknumber>
$nsftrack D_NSFSNG NSFSONG4 4

Then in MapInfo/etc:

Code: Select all

map MAP01 "Retro Land"
{
   sky1 = "sky1", 0.0
   music = "NSFSONG4"
   levelnum = 2
   next = "MAP02"
   cluster = 8
}

This is the same as specifying a starting order number for modules: In MAPINFO, append a colon plus the subsong number to the song name (e.g. "D_NSFSNG:5"). For ACS, use the second parameter of [wiki]SetMusic[/wiki]. For the changemus console command, include it as another argument after the song name.

Now my lemmings mod can sound authentic without having to increase the filesize ten fold

This is cool *Grabs the latest SVN*

And the most obvious ripoff in video game history... has somehow come full circle.

[Cutmanmike]

I found it funny how they managed to make a sequel, which was made in SEUCK. I actually bought it for a while, and then I was like waiiiiit a minute.

[StrikerMan780]

MAPINFO, append a colon plus the subsong number to the song name (e.g. "D_NSFSNG:5").

Which, Doesn't work at all. Needs fixing.

ACS, I hadn't tried yet.

EDIT: Tried in ACS, doesn't work there either.

[bagheadspidey]

There.

Ah well, it was worth a shot. I wonder if anyone can get in touch with those guys and talk them into doing an lgpl release?

Heh, I had that hacked version too. It wasn't really that much different than the real version, actually... I think all the powerups besides the "mushroom" and all the enemies were intact...
