Re: Custom Music In OpenTTD
Only .mid files can be played... After you get your set of mid files ready, change the last part (the .mid) to the openttd standard, and post them in one of the music directories (dunno which directory to be sure...)

Which is, in case you're unclear on this, neither ".mid" nor ".midi".Luukland wrote:the openttd standard
To get a good answer, ask a Smart Question. Similarly, if you want a bug fixed, write a Useful Bug Report. No TTDPatch crashlog? Then follow directions.

Re: Custom Music In OpenTTD
HInt: the system currently does not browse for files, even if they are named *.gm.
What I mean is that it expects to find gm_tt00.gm up to gm_tt21.gm AND ONLY THOSE.
So if you want to have one of your songs (midi that is) available: suggestion: save one of the original in a backup, rename your beloved song to the SAME NAME and EXTENSION en enjoy it.
That's it, no other way.

If you are not ready to work a bit for your ideas, it means they don't count much for you.

I thought there was a openTTD out there that had support for custom music in MIDI,MP3,WAV and i think even OGG (vorbis)

Re: Custom Music In OpenTTD
i know i've renamed MIDIs into *.gms and OTTD has read them. Make sure they're normal midis, i guess

Re: Custom Music In OpenTTD
There are different types of Midis and I believe OpenTTD (as well as any other TTD) can only read a certain type. I encountered this problem when trying to convert a .mid file into a guitar pro (program for notes etc.) file and it failed for no obvious reason (no tracks were displayed after the conversion). It works with most .mid files but the one I used was from "Die Fugger 2" which is a really old game by sunflowers and apparently the mid format was unsupported by guitar pro...
So my hint is this: try another .mid file from a different source and see if that makes a difference. If it doesn't, you're screwed, I guess

Re: Custom Music In OpenTTD
OpenTTD only reads the gm_ttXX.gm files, with XX from 00 to 21. Have you renamed your midis to one of these names?NekoMaster wrote:They are! And openTTD skips themLilman424 wrote:i know i've renamed MIDIs into *.gms and OTTD has read them. Make sure they're normal midis, i guess
Re: Custom Music In OpenTTD
Is it possible to make OTTD support MP3, .wma and .wav file types?
If it isn't then is there a program that can covert the file types?

Re: Custom Music In OpenTTD
Yes it's possible, but no it probably won't happen. Why not use your favorite music player in the background to play music?Ben1338 wrote:Is it possible to make OTTD support MP3, .wma and .wav file types?
Re: Custom Music In OpenTTD
Qu@rks - Perhaps try with Anvil Studio, it's a great midi editing/recording program and it's free. You might be able to fix the .mid's with it...Qu@rks wrote:There are different types of Midis and I believe OpenTTD (as well as any other TTD) can only read a certain type.

Re: Custom Music In OpenTTD
Would be a cool feature to have a midi importer or something in game.
Re: Custom Music In OpenTTD
No, because midis in general are not cool.
What would be cool is if the ingame player could issue commands to popular media players, so that you can control an external player from within the game. Problem is the definition of "popular media players". On Windows WM_APPCOMMAND would probably suffice, but don't know for other OSes...

But yeah would be cool for the game to be able to support flac or ogg format too. I'd make my own real swing soundtrack
Re: Custom Music In OpenTTD
I think that 'flash' is the most popular media player. All those people watching youtube and basically all other content that you can view within your webbrowser.FooBar wrote:Problem is the definition of "popular media players".
Anyhow, the problem is getting proper statistics AND whether your mean "popular popular" or "most used popular". The most popular vacuum cleaner would be one that doesn't need you working on it (e.g. a roomba), but the most used one is probably one where you need to manually push it around your house.
