Improve song previewing system #700

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I think it would be a nice to improve the song previewing system in FoFiX.
As opposed to it playing the song from the beginning (which is usually
filled with silence)when there is no preview.ogg, I think it would be nice
if the preview start time could be specified in the song.ini. An entry
could be added that looks something like "preview = 50" which would start
the song preview in the regular song at 50 seconds. 

I've also been making preview.ogg's for DLC songs that haven't been
decrypted yet using youtube videos as a reference. I've noticed that in
just about every song, the preview used in RB2 starts at somewhere in
between 0:45 seconds and 1:15, so if there wasn't an entry it could start
it at about 1 minute of the way through by default(unless the song is
shorter than about 1:30, than it could go halfway through the song). 

This could eliminate the need to make a whole new file as well as reduce
the download size. I also think more people would add a preview to their
songs because it would simplify the process.

The current audio engine only allows us to seek on ONE audio track.  The rest 
of the
tracks can only play from the beginning.

Therefore, this is currently not possible without audio engine changes. 

See issue 543, which must be resolved first.

Would it be possible for this to work with custom songs (single track)? That's 
all I
would really like it for.

Yes, good point - if this were coded now it could indeed work with single-track 
songs.

It would either just play the song track for multi-track songs, or we can add 
logic
to not seek on multi-track songs until issue 543 is resolved.

So, if one of the coders wants to pick this up, it looks like it would be 
useful to
some people...
