I can't get the music to work #39

Closed fcolecumberri closed 1 year ago

fcolecumberri commented 1 year ago

Environment

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. Download Rance III from haniwa.technology (this also happens with other games)
  2. mkdir BGM inserted the .mp3 in the BGM directory
  3. find BGM > playlist.txt
  4. xsystem35 and play the game.

Expected behavior

Music.

Actual behavior

No music.

Additional context

When the xsystem35 starts, it prints cdrom: Loaded playlist from playlist.txt

The game reproduces sounds (like attacks).

Rance III's music is MIDI, contained in RANCE3MA.ALD. You don't need to prepare a BGM directory. Instead, to get MIDI working on Linux you need to install a soundfont and set the SDL_SOUNDFONTS environment variable. For example:

$ export SDL_SOUNDFONTS=/usr/share/soundfonts/FluidR3_GM.sf2
$ cd rance3
$ xsystem35

Thanks it worked.

Just as a small detail for future people coming here, for some reason the fluid soundfonts does not sound well, the soundfont-generaluser sounded better.
