Renders don't show up in the gameRenders folder (Ubuntu 24.04 LTS x64)

[u0-a63]

Describe your bug here. Mind you, if you are modding, please try testing your bug in a clean version of the engine instead, this ensures the bug is actually caused by the engine itself. Also, if you're using an older version of JSE, please try the latest action build in the Actions tab or the latest release build. The issue has probably been fixed since that version. Oh yeah, and also be sure to check the pinned 'JS Engine: Known Issues' issue, to double check if your issue hasn't already been found!

When I use Rendering Mode, NOTHING appears in the renders folder. Yes, I do have the ffmpeg package installed. Do I have to do something else to get this to work?

it says "Is ffmpeg.exe in the same folder as the JS Engine exe?"

[u0-a63]

Yes, I know, but Ubuntu doesn't use .exe files!

[u0-a63]

Also, stupid thing to ask, but, can you fix the camera shaking when you run the game at 30FPS? Watch the video file I attached (the pixeldrain link) and you'll see what I mean. https://pixeldrain.com/u/empxj4qi

Bruh, blud doesn't know about Linux execution files 💀

[JordanSantiagoYT]

Yes, I know, but Ubuntu doesn't use .exe files!

my bad, i forgot to make the trace thing trace only "'ffmpeg not found!" instead of "ffmpeg.exe not found!"

did you put the ffmpeg file in the same location as JSEngine?

i am aware of this issue, but there's nothing i can do to fix it because the last time i tried there were issues with the camera following the players too slowly.

Even on Windows, there's a problem with Rendering Mode. There's no sound in the finished .mp4 file. Can you fix this?

Rendering Mode should be removed from game when you can literally use OBS for that. I don't care how much it will give a huge CPU usage and lag, just configure the settings and that's all

..you're supposed to use a video editor to edit it in

the point of rendering mode is to render charts without lag, and without having to wait a whole hour just to record 1 CHART (as is the case with this chart)

Doesn't matter. Buy a better CPU 😐. Work harder for money to buy it. I already got 60€ in my country since i worked harder for money. You just think this will change FNF forever, but no, it will no. Haxe server also hates rendering mode because it's useless thing i ever saw. You know Jordan, maybe i will not have the best CPU on my laptop, but i will still choose OBS for recording. Actually, you know what? I don't really care, i am just gonna leave you whatever you doing with your fork, i am porting new stuff from FNF 0.3+ to my modified Psych fork, so bye

Awesome, now how people will get a sound Jordan? You can code everything, right? If is true, then make a function to play audio too

the reason i don't do that is because it doesn't work as shown in this video

if you're willing to fix this code to make it so that it automatically adds the song audio, then be my guest

    var instPath = Paths.songPath(SONG.song, CoolUtil.difficultyString(), false);
    var voicesPath = Paths.songPath(SONG.song, CoolUtil.difficultyString(), true);

    var audioDelay:Float = !skipCountdown ? Conductor.crochet * 5 : 0;

            //Feel free to remove these traces, these just verify that they work
    trace (instPath);
    trace (SONG.needsVoices ? voicesPath : 'doesnt need voices');

    if (!SONG.needsVoices)
        process = new sys.io.Process('ffmpeg', [
            '-f', 'rawvideo',
            '-pix_fmt', 'rgba',
            '-s', lime.app.Application.current.window.width + 'x' + lime.app.Application.current.window.height,
            '-r', Std.string(targetFPS),
            '-i', '-',
            '-i', Std.string(instPath),
            '-filter_complex', '"[1:a]adelay=${audioDelay}|${audioDelay}[aout]"',
            '-map', '0:v', '-map', '"[aout]"',
            'assets/gameRenders/' + Paths.formatToSongPath(SONG.song) + '.mp4'
        ]);
    else
    //code for if the song needs voices

and this is for songPath

static public function songPath(song:String, ?difficulty:String = '', ?voices:Bool = false):Any
    {
        var instOrVoices:String = (voices ? 'Voices' : 'Inst');
        var formattedDifficulty:String = formatToSongPath(difficulty);
        if (difficulty.contains(' ')) difficulty = formattedDifficulty;
        #if html5
        return 'songs:assets/songs/${formatToSongPath(song)}/${instOrVoices}.$SOUND_EXT';
        #else
        if (difficulty != null)
        {
            var songKey:String = '${formatToSongPath(song)}/${instOrVoices}-$difficulty';
            if (FileSystem.exists(Paths.modFolders('songs/' + songKey + '.$SOUND_EXT')) || FileSystem.exists('assets/songs/' + songKey + '.$SOUND_EXT')) 
            {
                return songKey + '.$SOUND_EXT';
            }
        }
        var songKey:String = '${formatToSongPath(song)}/${instOrVoices}.$SOUND_EXT';
        if (FileSystem.exists('assets/songs/$songKey')) return 'assets/songs/$songKey';
        if (FileSystem.exists(Paths.modFolders('songs/' + songKey + '.$SOUND_EXT')))
            return Paths.modFolders('songs/' + songKey + '.$SOUND_EXT');

        else return null;
        #end
    }
