Music not working in M1 Mac Air

[eduardodesigner]

First of all, thanks for this amazing project!

I'm currently running OpenJKDF2 on an M1 Macbook Air with macOS Monterey 12.1.

Everything works (levels, cutscenes, controller config) except for the music.

I'm using the MUSIC folder and ogg files from the gog release. I also tried my own (converted from flacs ripped from the original cds) but nothing seems to work.

Hmm, have you double-checked that Setup > Sound doesn't have the music volume set all the way down? It could be a bug with my default settings, need to double check.

One thing to note as well, Level 1 doesn't fade in the music until after leaving the cantina. GOG's MCI compatibility shim is bugged and always plays full blast.

I double checked, but I never edited any of the sound options. I tested other levels with the debug option, to make sure that it wasn't a level 1 thing. Is it possible that it might be related to something in macOS security settings?

[shinyquagsire23]

I don't think it should be a security thing, if all the other sounds are working?

If you're comfortable in a terminal, try running

./OpenJKDF2_universal.app/Contents/MacOS/openjkdf2-64

and seeing if it prints out any error messages with regard to stdMci/OGG stuff, maybe. At the moment that's the only way to get debug output on macOS, still need to add a proper logger.

I guess the other thing to check is ~/.local/share/openjkdf2/MUSIC to make sure it installed all the files correctly.

Oh you'll need to actually enter a level for it to print anything with regard to music, I don't cache any of the music files on startup

[eduardodesigner]

I don't have any track with this name, does that mean that the tracks should be renamed to track1, track2, track3... in order to work?

[shinyquagsire23]

Oh hmmm, it might mean that you mixed CD assets with GOG assets somehow? One thing I noticed with the GOG and Steam releases is that they edited all the scripts to change the track numbers (I think Disk 1 and 2 have different tracks, so track 1 is different between the two halves of the game). But you could also try copying the GOG track numbers to the CD track numbers.

[eduardodesigner]

Yes, I think that was the issue. I used tracks from the gog edition, but the rest of my assets are all from the original cd release. Maybe that should be explained in the readme for people using the cd?

[shinyquagsire23]

Yeah, one thing that's on my bucket list is actually adding an OGG dumper for the CDs on install, so at least part of that would involve some extra code to detect which CD tracks to play. I can add a README note for now though.

[eduardodesigner]

Thank you! And again, congratulations on this project!

v0.2.11 should now support using GOG soundtrack assets w/ CD game asssets
