Orchestrion - [279] Against the Wind - Does Not Loop #7

Hi there! Forgive me if this isn't intentional, but I'm noticing that this song in particular does not loop when it's selected to play. I'm unable to replicate this issue for any other song, nor was one of my friends.

Thanks for the report!

At the moment, the loop behavior is up to the game (the plugin only ever tells it to play once, and usually the game will loop it itself), but there are some songs that seem to have been built kind of strangely.

I haven't looked at this track in particular yet, but I know there are others that don't loop because "usually" (if you ran into the music in game normally) there will be multiple internal tracks that it plays in sequence, that build out to one full song. Some of the morning-to-daytime transition songs do this, as well as one of the versions of Answers, etc.

That said, there is some information regarding loop timings in the game, but I haven't decoded how it all works yet. It's on my list of things I'd like to get working for an eventual playlist feature.

Thank you for the detailed explanation! That makes a lot of sense actually; When I said I was unable to replicate this issue with other songs, what I didn't realize was that most of the songs I had been playing were boss themes, which aren't subject to the sequencing seen in zones with transitions.

Good luck with working on the playlist feature!
