Music problem

Dragon · Post by **Dragon** » 05 Jan 2007 15:31

Hi al,
first of al i want to thank you for this great game
I've played it ages ago and i stil think this is one of the best games in history.

My problem,
Transport tycoon doesn't play any music, exept the effects. I've searched the forums about this, but i can't find anything. I've opened the openttd.cfg and changed the music playing from false into true, but everytime i open openttd it changes back into false. I've also opened the jukebox in openttd but i can press play forever but it won't start playing. The music files do play in windows media player, so that is'nt the problem.

My OS is windows xp
and i'm running openttd r7123M (quark)
but my music dind'nt worked on any openttd version i've played, every time the same problem

It's to bad i can't listen to the music, but if i can't, i can't and it won't effect this great game.

[sorry if my grammar is'nt complete correct, grammar has never bin my best thing in school, even in dutch]

where did you copy the gm dir?

Dragon · Post by **Dragon** » 05 Jan 2007 16:36

it is in the \openttd directory

The odd thing is that openttd recognises the files. If i press the 'set playlist'-button it gives me a list of the music files that are in that directory. It just doesn't want to go on play

When you press 'play' does the music-gui actually play or does it do nothing? The 'set programme' window gives no information whether you have the files or not.

Please run openttd with the "-d driver=10" flag (or "-d 3") in general, or try the other music driver (they're listed with "-h").

it does nothing when i hit play
and where can i find the "-d driver=10",
i dont no anything about coding or programming, sorry. The only thing i've ever coded where extremely simple basic programmes on the commedore 64

You don't find it. You type it. On the command-line, when you're starting OpenTTD. Or in the Target box of the shortcut's properties.

I did wat u asked darkvater, but wat am i supposed to see/do then?
when i use "-d driver=10" openttd sais it succesfully loaded my music driver, but nothing further happens really

Darkvater · Post by **Darkvater** » 06 Jan 2007 23:40

well can you post here what the debug window says?

Dragon · Post by **Dragon** » 07 Jan 2007 19:09

sorry,

with -d driver=10 it says:

dbg: Loading drivers...
dbg: Successfully probed sound driver "win32"
dbg: Successfully probed music driver "dmusic"
dgb: Successfully probed video driver "win32"

and with -d 3 i don't get anything interresting

hope this helps

btw, thanks for the reply's and youre time

You can try "openttd -m win32" and see if that helps

Dragon · Post by **Dragon** » 08 Jan 2007 15:54

Nothing happens, all i got is the help screen with "openttd -m win32"
and "-m win32" doesn't work either

If you don't get any additional debugging messages (at level 0), then it means that DirectMusic is working.

Are you sure that ingame you have pressed the 'play' button for the music and that your volume is not muted?

Dragon · Post by **Dragon** » 08 Jan 2007 21:02

I've pressed play for a thousend times, but nothing happens,
i also don't see something playing, if i remember correctly, you saw the current song name and number in TTO.
and about the volume, windows volume is skyhigh and openttd.cfg says:

[music]
playlist = 0
music_vol = 100
effect_vol = 80
custom_1 = 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
custom_2 = 1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
playing = false
shuffle = true
extmidi = timidity

besides, effects work perfectly fine, that's what i find so strange

Darkvater · Post by **Darkvater** » 08 Jan 2007 23:45

it says "playing=false"; this should be true...

But otherwise I have no idea about your problem, and I think we are missing something pretty obvious that's wrong with either your system or your setup.

Dragon · Post by **Dragon** » 09 Jan 2007 10:51

I know, i've already tried to alter it manually, but as soon as Openttd starts, it changes back to 'false'. But anyway thanks for youre time. I can always run the music on Media Player on the background

Synchro · Post by **Synchro** » 16 Feb 2007 19:02

I have the same problem.
I run on Win XP SP2, sound blacter Live! value and music don't plays while the sondfx are on. ttd open 0.4.8

I've tried all the solution you give but they did not work.

How can i solve this problem?

Darkvater · Post by **Darkvater** » 16 Feb 2007 19:19

Get a compiler and debug openttd. Because the music should really work and I have no other guess as to why it doesn't.

Copy data/gm
copy the gm folder in ttdx main folder, then it work..
