No support for music? #59

Closed smeep0 closed 5 years ago

smeep0 commented 5 years ago

Despite having copied the music folder to the baseq2 folder of vkQuake 2, no music plays despite selecting the option for music.

Original Quake 2 only supported CD music. I haven't implemented ogg/mp3/other playback and it's unlikely I will dedicate my time to do it since I want to focus on the Vulkan aspect in this project. I will leave this issue open for now, maybe someone will be willing to submit a PR. I will close it if there's no activity for a longer period of time.

+1, desperate for FLAC support.

I think at this point the best thing I can do is to suggest using other source ports - Yamagi Quake 2 is probably the best one out there, they fixed tons of original game bugs (which are most likely still present in vkQuake2) and have music support out of the box.

Understood, just wanted to make it known that there was interest in either furthering vkQuake2 beyond the addition of the Vulkan driver or implementing support for the Vulkan driver in one of the other ports.

I'll look into this.

@kondrak , could a good starting place be the code for the unofficial 3.24 patch which has OGG support included? Available here: http://www.markshan.com/knightmare/downloads.htm

kondrak commented 5 years ago

Support for OGG/FLAC/MP3/WAV is now available on master branch and will land in upcoming 1.3 release - check it out!

Thanks kondrak! Will try it when I get back!

Really appreciate this, kondrak!
