- Added very basic Soundfont support to the internal TiMidity. Things missing:
filter, LFOs, modulation envelope, chorus, reverb, and modulators. May or
may not be compatible with TiMidity++'s soundfont extensions.
- Added support for quoted strings to the TiMidity config parser.
SVN r957 (trunk)
of all types on the same linedef. Also added a 'first side only' flag. This
is not usable from Hexen or Doom format maps though but in preparation of
the UDMF format discussed here:
http://www.doomworld.com/vb/source-ports/43145-udmf-v0-99-specification-draft-aka-textmap/
- Changed linedef's alpha property from a byte to fixed point after seeing that
255 wasn't handled to be fully opaque.
- fixed a GCC warning in fmodsound.cpp
SVN r954 (trunk)
there were no designated characters to strip at the end of it.
- Added support for Shoutcast/Icecast playlists.
- Added an error message when a playlist could not be opened.
- Added support for PLS format playlists, in addition to M3U.
- Changed FPlayList to use an array of FStrings.
- Fixed: Playlists required every song to be specified by an absolute path.
SVN r951 (trunk)
waveforms, and three of them are non-negative. This can cause a tendency
for the resulting output waveform to go into very high ranges depending on
the timbres used, and Heretic's exemplify this problem.
- Reduced the OPL volume level slightly.
- Fixed: The waveform view from snd_drawoutput was upside-down.
SVN r949 (trunk)
EMIDI specs: Track designations and exclusions should be ignored past
the initial beat, and EMIDI program change and volume events should be
ignored unless they were used in the initial beat.
SVN r944 (trunk)
could also be because the user selected PCM-Float output, but the driver
doesn't support it (even if it claims to *cough*Audigy XP drivers*cough*).
SVN r943 (trunk)
track off, any ticks that had only events on the disabled track would cause
the delay for that track to be thrown away, and the following notes on
enabled tracks would play too soon. This could be heard quite clearly in
xplasma.mid, where track 4 (FMGlass Drone 1) would interfere with the timing
of tracks 13 and 14 (EP1 Melody and EP1 Echo).
SVN r937 (trunk)
already playing on the channel, it should stop it with finish_note(), not
kill_note(). This can be clearly heard in the final cymbal crashes of
D_DM2TTL where TiMidity cuts them off because the final cymbals are played
with a velocity of 1 before the preceding cymbals have finished. (I wonder
if I should be setting the self_nonexclusive flag for GUS patches to
disable even this behavior, though, since gf1note.c doesn't turn off
duplicate notes.)
- Changed envelope handling to hopefully match the GUS player's. The most
egregious mistake TiMidity makes is to treat bit 6 as an envelope enable
bit. This is not what it does; every sample has an envelope. Rather, this
is a "no sampled release" flag. Also, despite fiddling with the
PATCH_SUSTAIN flag during instrument loading, TiMidity never actually
used it. Nor did it do anything at all with the PATCH_FAST_REL flag.
SVN r934 (trunk)
3D panning.
- The listener's velocity is now set at 0 for the sound engine. The player
moves so fast that you can hear the doppler shift just by running around,
otherwise.
- Changed the sound code so that all sounds that start playing on a single
tic actually start playing at the exact same sample position.
SVN r927 (trunk)
wave file.
- Changed the default channel velocity for MUS files from 64 to 100 to
better match apparent MIDI practice. (Would like to know what this is
supposed to be.)
- Changed the mus2midi channel assignments to match the internal player's.
- Fixed: apply_envelope_to_amp() should clamp the mix levels to 0.
SVN r926 (trunk)
timidity_voices cvar.
- Added stats lines for the OPL and Timidity MIDI devices.
- Completely changed the way TiMidity volume calculations are done. It
should now be extremely close to the output a real GUS would produce with
its official MIDI player (excepting where TiMidity normalizes sample
volumes). The new equations more closely match what is specified by the DLS
and SF2 specs (but not quite), so I presume it's also more musically
correct than what TiMidity (and TiMidity++) do.
SVN r925 (trunk)
before sending it to Channel::getReverbProperties().
- Fixed: The earthquake effect did not play its sound as an actual looping
sound. I'm a bit surprised this only recently started causing problems.
SVN r923 (trunk)
snd_reset would eventually run into the hard limit on the total number
of FMOD::System objects that can be created concurrently (currently 15).
- Added proper error checks to the FMOD initialization process.
SVN r921 (trunk)
- Set note velocity back to using a linear sounding volume curve, although
it's now used to scale channel volume and expression, so recompute_amp()
is still only doing one volume curve lookup.
- Fixed: TimidityMIDIDevice caused a crash at the end of a non-looping song.
SVN r920 (trunk)
- Changed: When loading Zips all patches in the patches/ directory should
be loaded, not only those used by a texture in TEXTUREx.
- Disabled timidity_mastervolume for the internal Timidity again because
with the altered volume calculation it is no longer needed and the default
volume is on the same level as OPL and FMOD.
SVN r909 (trunk)
FMOD_INIT_ENABLE_PROFILE. Renamed the corresponding cvar to snd_profile.
- Removed the normalize parameter from SoundStream::Play().
- Disabled the chorus and reverb effects added to SDL_mixer's Timidity,
because they were probably never tested well, either. Thanks to the bug
in vc_alloc(), they were never even activated.
- Restored the exact frequency range search that was missing from SDL_mixer's
verion of select_sample().
- Fixed: vc_alloc(), kill_others(), and note_on() treated Voice::status as a
bit mask, when it's not. These were changes made to SDL_mixer's Timidity.
- Restored the original Timidity volume equation. The other louder one was
put in when I didn't realize all channels were mono and many notes sounded
too quiet because they never completed their attack phase.
- Fixed: FileReader::Gets() acted as if fgets() always read the maximum
number of characters.
- Fixed: FileReader::Open() did not set FilePos and StartPos to 0.
SVN r908 (trunk)
because it has the same sound volume issues as the external one.
- Replaced use of stdio in Timidity with FileReader and added the option to read
from the lump directory. If the main config file is inside the lump directory
it will assume that everything else is as well. If it is a real file it will be
assumed that the rest is real files as well.
- Fixed: None of the error returns in Timidity::read_config_file closed the file being read.
SVN r906 (trunk)
- Fixed: MinGW doesn't have _get_pgmptr(), so it couldn't compile i_main.cpp.
- Fixed: MOD_WAVETABLE and MOD_SWSYNTH are not defined by w32api, so MinGW
failed compiling the new MIDI code.
- Fixed: LocalSndInfo and LocalSndSeq in S_Start() need to be const char
pointers, since "" is a constant.
- Fixed: parsecontext.h was missing a newline at the end of the file.
SVN r904 (trunk)
particular, this meant that every channel was almost certainly in mono mode,
which can sound pretty bad if the song isn't meant to be played that way.
- Added bank numbers to the MIDI precaching for Timidity, since I guess I do
need to care about banks, if even the Duke MIDIs use various banks.
- Fixed: snd_midiprecache only exists in Win32 builds, so gameconfigfile.cpp
shouldn't unconditionally link against it.
- Fixed: pre_resample() was still disabled, and it left two samples at the end
of the new wave data uninitialized.
SVN r903 (trunk)
channel when restarting the song, rather than emitting a single note off
event which only has a 1 in 127 chance of being for a note that's playing
on that channel. Then I decided it would probably be a good idea to reset
all the controllers as well.
- Increasing the size of the internal Timidity stream buffer from 1/14 sec
(copied from the OPL player) improved its sound dramatically, so apparently
Timidity has issues with short stream buffers. It's now at 1/2 sec in
length. However, there seems to be something weird going on with
corazonazul_ff6boss.mid near the beginning where it stops and immediately
restarts a guitar on the exact same note.
- Added a new sound debugging cvar: snd_drawoutput, which can show various
oscilloscopes and spectrums.
- Internal TiMidity now plays music.
- Changed the progdir global variable into an FString.
SVN r900 (trunk)
can be played as OPL can also be dumped.
- Removed the opl_enable cvar, since OPL playback is now selectable as just
another MIDI device.
- Added support for DRO playback and dual-chip RAW playback.
- Removed MUS support from OPLMUSSong, since using the OPLMIDIDevice with
MUSSong2 works just as well. There are still lots of leftover bits in
the class that should probably be removed at some point, too.
- Added dual-chip dumping support for the RAW format.
- Added DosBox Raw OPL (.DRO) dumping support. For whatever reason,
in_adlib calculates the song length for this format wrong, even though
the exact length is stored right in the header. (But in_adlib seems buggy
in general; too bad it's the only Windows version of Adplug that seems to
exist.)
- Rewrote the OPL dumper to work with MIDI as well as MUS.
SVN r872 (trunk)
Missimp.mid sounds a lot better now, though still a little off.
- Fixed: MIDI files that had ticks with nothing but meta-events did not play
properly. (fixes sonic3_finalboss.mid)
SVN r868 (trunk)
advanced sound options menu. Removed opl_enable from the menu.
- Added OPL synth as MIDI device -3. Since this is based on the MUS player
code, it only supports those events and controllers supported by MUS.
Some of Duke's MIDIs sound awful, but I think that may be more because
it's using different instruments... There's a thread in the MIDI streamer
class that could be taken out for Linux, since it doesn't need to deal
with the Windows Multimedia API, but for now, this is still Windows-only.
SVN r864 (trunk)
floats, so I can write its output directly to the stream buffer. In
addition, this lets me bring the OPL volume level much closer to the
standard MIDI volume.
SVN r863 (trunk)
into a general MIDI player.
- Fixed: Passing false for a stream callback did not stop the stream.
- Removed opl_frequency, since the only time the emulation sounds good is
when it plays at the exact frequency of a real chip.
- Music no longer plays at all when snd_musicvolume is 0.
- Bumped up snd_sfxvolume and snd_musicvolume default values.
SVN r862 (trunk)
that the drivers will treat a BackBufferCount of 0 as a request for
double buffering.
- Fixed: Unsetting a cvar did not remove it from the list of tab
completions.
- Added "" as a synonym for "nullimage" in SBARINFO.
- Fixed: MAKESAVESIG's stringifier in version.h did not work as expected.
It stringified the passed macro name, not the value of the macro.
- Moved DCajunMaster off the DObject hierarchy.
- Changed DCajunMaster::getspawned into a TArray of FStrings. It was
mysteriously being left pointing to uninitialized memory during the
final GC at exit and crashing.
- Fixed: The code that removed hexdd.wad from the list of IWADs when
hexen.wad was not present did not work.
SVN r861 (trunk)
from doing prebuffering of the song. This was causing the Linux version to
hang while waiting for input from the pipe, since Timidity hadn't been
started yet. I tried using a select call in the FillStream() method, but it
always seems to return the pipe as having nothing available. Unfortunately,
the game still falls all over itself if Timidity isn't available. Instead
of execvp failing nicely, X errors kill the game. I don't know why it's
doing that. My advice for Linux music: Skip Timidity++ and get a DLS patch
set (/WINDOWS/system32/drivers/gm.dls is probably the most common by far)
and set the snd_midipatchset cvar to point to it. It's faster and also
sounds a whole lot better than the crappy freepats Ubuntu wants to install
with Timidity++.
- GCC fixes.
SVN r858 (trunk)
the song's relative volume takes effect.
- Removed the arbitrary 1024 bytes limit when the file being played is a MIDI
file. I had a D_DM2TTL that's only 990 bytes.
- Restructured I_RegisterSong so that $mididevice works again and also supports
selecting FMOD.
SVN r857 (trunk)
- Removed movie volume from the sound menu and renamed some of the other
options to give the MIDI device name more room to display itself.
- Moved the midi device selection into the main sound menu.
- Added FMOD as MIDI device -1, to replace the MIDI mapper. This is still the
default device. By default, it uses exactly the same DLS instruments as the
Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth. If you have another set DLS level 1 patch set
you want to use, set the snd_midipatchfile cvar to specify where it should
load the instruments from.
- Changed the ProduceMIDI function to store its output into a TArray<BYTE>.
An overloaded version wraps around it to continue to supply file-writing
support for external Timidity++ usage.
- Added an FMOD credits banner to comply with their non-commercial license.
- Reimplemented the snd_buffersize cvar for the FMOD Ex sound system. Rather
than a time in ms, this is now the length in samples of the DSP buffer.
Also added the snd_buffercount cvar to offer complete control over the
call to FMOD::System::setDSPBufferSize(). Note that with any snd_samplerate
below about 44kHz, you will need to set snd_buffersize to avoid long
latencies.
- Reimplemented the snd_output cvar for the FMOD Ex sound system.
- Changed snd_samplerate default to 0. This now means to use the default
sample rate.
- Made snd_output, snd_output_format, snd_speakermode, snd_resampler, and
snd_hrtf available through the menu.
- Split the HRTF effect selection into its own cvar: snd_hrtf.
- Removed 96000 Hz option from the menu. It's still available through the
cvar, if desired.
- Fixed: If Windows sound init failed, retry with DirectSound. (Apparently,
WASAPI doesn't work with more than two speakers and PCM-Float output at the
same time.)
- Fixed: Area sounds only played from the front speakers once you got within
the 2D panning area.
SVN r854 (trunk)
xlat_parser.y because both files had the same time stamp after an update,
and Lemon only rewrites the header file if it's changed.
- Added $volume SNDINFO command. This is multiplied with the volume the sound
is played at to arrive at the final volume (before distance attenuation).
- Added the CHAN_AREA flag to disable 3D panning within the min distance of a
sound. Sector sound sequences (except doors) use this flag.
- Added the CHAN_LOOP flag to replace the S_Looped* sound functions.
- Restored the sound limiting.
SVN r849 (trunk)
contain enough music to fill the initial output buffers.
- Removed the read barrier around ADehackedPickup::RealPickup. If the real
pickup is picked up, it may very well destroy itself before the dehacked
wrapper's stubs that use it are called.
- Reverted revision 840. For a file we don't want end users to be touching,
making DEHSUPP plain text sends out mixed messages: "Don't mess with this.
Oh, by the way, it's plain text now to make it easier for you to edit."
Is there some reason other than a desire to do away with binary lumps to
make the distributed lump text?
- Added a new speakermode for Stereo + HRTF: "Headphones". This is the only
way to get the HRTF low pass filter effect now.
- Fixed: No more than one sector could make noise at once.
- Trying out sound without varying priorities again.
- Fixed: Need to use setSpeakerMix to let 2D sounds (aka streamed music) use
their full volume range.
SVN r842 (trunk)
subject to channel overriding.
- Re-added priority selection based on sound usage.
- Reduced the number of virtual channels to match the number of real
channels.
- Added customizable rolloff, including Doom's standard linear gain rolloff.
SNDINFO commands are:
$rolloff <sound> <min distance> <max distance> -- linear gain (like Doom)
$rolloff <sound> linear <min distance> <max distance> -- linear volume
$rolloff <sound> log <min distance> <rolloff factor> -- logarithmic
$rolloff <sound> custom <min distance> <max distance> -- use SNDCURVE lump
Anything closer than min distance is full volume and anything further than
max distance is inaudible. Logarithmic rolloff does not have a maximum
distance; it has a scalar that controls how quickly the volume drops off
instead.
SVN r834 (trunk)
- Fixed: Heretic linetype translations included the wrong file.
- Removed all 2D sound positioning code from s_sound.cpp. Everything uses
FMOD's 3D engine now.
- Removed all the channel selection code from s_sound.cpp. FMOD has code to
handle this sort of thing, so let's use it.
- Replaced S_StopSoundID() with S_CheckSingular(). There is no longer a limit
on the number of copies of a particular sound that can be playing at once,
aside from Strife's special singular sounds. (Sorry, Heretic and Hexen.)
Consequently, the SNDINFO $limit command is now ignored.
- Removed ATTN_SURROUND, since FMOD Ex doesn't exactly support it, and it
only worked as intended on stereo speakers anyway.
- Cleaned out ancient crud from i_sound.cpp.
SVN r826 (trunk)
- Added a cheap pitch shifting for underwater environments that should be fairly
close to Duke's. It sounds okay for some sounds, but others like the BFG, where
the timing of the sound actually matters, don't sound good. I shall have to
replace it with a real pitch shifter DSP unit.
SVN r819 (trunk)
list, it should just be ignored during the propagation stage.
- After sleeping on it and realizing what was really going in, I generalized
the inventory fix from the 13th: The actor is flagged by Destroy(), then it
is later inserted into the thinker list by DThinker::SerializeAll(). So
rather than unlinking the skipped player from their inventory, just make
sure any flagged thinkers aren't inserted into a list.
- Fixed: FCanvasTextureInfo::Viewpoint needed a read barrier, and the whole
list should serve as a root.
- Reimplemented SPC playback as a custom codec for FMOD.
- Removed spc_frequency, because snes_spc only supports the SPC's native
frequency of 32000 Hz.
