About

RMusicPlayer is new version of RvMp3Player. The code has been completly rewritten, this time using FMODEX. Features:

• Mod support (you can subclass RMusic_Player to define new music directory)
• Save support in SP games
• Supports many audio files (flac, mp2, mp3, ogg, wma, wav)
• Crossfades/fades in/fades out music

Current bugs (will be fixed):

• DSP plugins - everything loads fine, but I can't hear difference :)
• You can't have more then one DSP plugin
• Additional codecs doesn't work

ToDo:

• Add complete readme about RMusic_Player native function, non-native functions and variables
• Fix DSP plugin architecture
• Fix loading additional codecs

Class tree

+- Actor_(UT)
   +- RMusic_Component - holds everything toghether and implements some basic functions
       +- RMusic_Controller - controls RMusic_Player
       +- RMusic_Player - plays music. This class is spawned either by RMusic_Controller or game type/console.
       +- RMusic_Save - spawned by RMusic_Controller. Stores information about last used RMusic_Controller

Usage

In ActorBrowser find Actor->RMusic_Component->RMusic_Controller, place it on map and configure it.

Gametype integration (with save support)

Subclass of SinglePlayer2 (SinglePlayer2 is part of OldSkool by UsAaR33)

class RMusic_SingleGameInfo extends SinglePlayer2;
 
event PostLogin( playerpawn NewPlayer )
{
	local RMusic_Controller RMusic_Controller;
	local RMusic_Save RMusic_Save;
	local RMusic_Player RMusic_Player;
 
        Super.PostLogin(NewPlayer);
 
	if(Level.NetMode != NM_DedicatedServer && Level.NetMode != NM_ListenServer)
	{
		//we have to find music player in Entry level
		foreach NewPlayer.GetEntryLevel().AllActors(class'RMusic_Player',RMusic_Player)
		{
			//then we stops currently played song
			RMusic_Player.RMusic_Stop(false);
			//and eventually add info about player/current level
			if( RMusic_Player.bAuthoritative )
			{
				RMusic_Player.RMusic_LocalPlayer = NewPlayer;
				RMusic_Player.RMusic_OldLevel = NewPlayer.Level;
			}
		}
		//we have to found save part
		foreach AllActors(class'RMusic_Save', RMusic_Save)
		{
			//we have to check if we have saved controller
			if(RMusic_Save.SavedController != none)
			{
				RMusic_Controller=RMusic_Save.SavedController;
				break;
			}
		}
		//if saved controller is found, we have to restore music
		if(RMusic_Controller != none) RMusic_Controller.EVENT_Player();
	}
}

Gametype integration (without save support)

Subclass of coopgame2 (coopgame2 is part of OldSkool by UsAaR33)

class RMusic_CoopGameInfo extends coopgame2;
 
event PostLogin( playerpawn NewPlayer )
{
	local RMusic_Controller RMusic_Controller;
	local RMusic_Save RMusic_Save;
	local RMusic_Player RMusic_Player;
 
	Super.PostLogin(NewPlayer);
 
	if(Level.NetMode != NM_DedicatedServer && Level.NetMode != NM_ListenServer)
	{
		//we have to find music player in Entry level
		foreach NewPlayer.GetEntryLevel().AllActors(class'RMusic_Player',RMusic_Player)
		{
			//then we stops currently played song
			RMusic_Player.RMusic_Stop(false);
			//and eventually add info about player/current level
			if( RMusic_Player.bAuthoritative )
			{
				RMusic_Player.RMusic_LocalPlayer = NewPlayer;
				RMusic_Player.RMusic_OldLevel = NewPlayer.Level;
			}
		}
	}
}

Console integration

Subclass of UTConsole

class RMusic_Console extends UTConsole;
 
function DrawLevelAction( canvas C )
{
	local RMusic_Player RMusic_Player;
	local PlayerPawn PP;
 
	if ( Viewport.Actor.Level.LevelAction == LEVACT_Loading ) // Loading Screen
	{
		PP = Root.GetPlayerOwner();
		if(PP != none)
		{
			foreach PP.GetEntryLevel().AllActors(class'RMusic_Player', RMusic_Player) break;
 
			if (RMusic_Player != none) RMusic_Player.RMusic_Stop(false);
		}	
	}
	Super.DrawLevelAction(C);
}
