Can't load the music 'music/*.mid'

[amstan]

Describe the bug With a successfully installed wargus 3.0.0 (+ game data), none of the music plays. Despite the midis being unpacked properly (and playable with musescore).

I also tried to dump a TimGM6mb.sf2 in data.Wargus/music like someone said, didn't make a difference.

Command line

To Reproduce

1. Install wargus
2. Install game data
3. ls ~/.stratagus/data.Wargus/music

   'Human Battle 1.mid'  'Human Battle 3.mid'  'Human Battle 5.mid'  'Human Defeat.mid'   "I'm a Medieval Man.mid"  'Orc Battle 1.mid'  'Orc Battle 3.mid'  'Orc Battle 5.mid'  'Orc Defeat.mid'
   'Human Battle 2.mid'  'Human Battle 4.mid'  'Human Briefing.mid'  'Human Victory.mid'  'Main Menu.mid'           'Orc Battle 2.mid'  'Orc Battle 4.mid'  'Orc Briefing.mid'  'Orc Victory.mid'

4. Start wargus

Expected behavior Music plays

What actually happens No music playing:

Hi, it seems your SDL2 installation cannot play midi files (it says in your output: "Supported music decoders: CMD WAVE FLAC OGG OPUS MPG123 MODPLUG MOD MP3")

I think you need to have timidity installed, but not sure.

[timfel]

Just checked, the debian package declares this as dependency: timgm6mb-soundfont | musescore-soundfont-gm. I'm pretty sure just either of those packages enabled MIDI play for me. You didn't say which distro you're on?

Hi! I'm having same issue with 3.3.1 version compiled from AUR in Archlinux. I setup old fluidsynth config file with a soundfont file and set environment variable SDL_SOUNDFONTS=/usr/share/soundfonts/FluidR3_GM.sf2 for new timidity but no luck.

If you have the same output as the original poster with Supported music decoders not containing MIDI, then I don't know, sorry. On Ubuntu it seems to work simply when timgm6mb-soundfont is installed. Note that the environment variable SDL_SOUNDFONTS is only supported with pretty new SDL_mixer versions, I don't know what AUR has, but Ubuntu's version is way older and iirc it does not support custom soundfonts at all, it only looks in the hardcoded path that the timgm6mb-soundfont package installs to.

This is the package content of timgm6mb-soundfont on Ubuntu. I'm pretty sure you need to have those exact paths for the cfg and the soundfont for SDL_mixer versions older than 2.6 to allow playing midi

/etc/timidity/timgm6mb.cfg
/usr/share/doc/timgm6mb-soundfont/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/share/doc/timgm6mb-soundfont/copyright
/usr/share/sounds/sf2/TimGM6mb.sf2

There's always the option of converting the midi files manually to ogg and setting wargus.music_extension = ".ogg" in data.wargus/scripts/wc2-config.lua

Hi again! I have the solution in front of my eyes, launch in the same line: SDL_SOUNDFONTS=/usr/share/soundfonts/FluidR3_GM.sf2 wargus (or war1gus) But now I have another problem. When I start a map the sound goes choppy and need disable music and re-enable for everything goes well again.

I think than sdl_mixer is using all sound drivers except pulseaudio. I have found this but not solution by the moment. Any ideas about what can be?
