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

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

Advanced usage (gametype/console integration)

This are just two simple samples. More can be found in zip file.

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)
        {
                //we have to find out we're in save or not
                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 save controller is found, we have to restore music
                if(RMusic_Controller != none) RMusic_Controller.EVENT_Player();
		else
		{
			//we found RMusic_Save, so RMusic_Controller is used, but wasn't activated. We have to stop the music if playing
			RMusic_Player = class'RMusic_Component'.static.Find_RMusicPlayerByPPawn(NewPlayer,none,true);
			if( RMusic_Player != none)
			{
				if( RMusic_Player.RMusic_IsPlaying() ) RMusic_Player.RMusic_Stop();
			}
		}
        }
}

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)
		{
			if(PP.GetEntryLevel() != none)
			{
				foreach PP.GetEntryLevel().AllActors(class'RMusic_Player', RMusic_Player) break;
 
				if (RMusic_Player != none && RMusic_Player.RMusic_IsPlaying()) RMusic_Player.RMusic_Stop();
			}
		}	
	}
	Super.DrawLevelAction(C);
}
