* OPL: specify the core to use for playing this song
* FluidSynth: specify a soundfont that should be used for playing the song.
* WildMidi: specify a config file that should be used for playing the song.
* Timidity++: specify an executable that should be used for playing the song. At least under Windows this allows using Timidity++ with different configs if the executable and each single config are placed in different directories.
* GUS: currently not operational, but should later also specify the config. This will need some work, because right now this is initialized only when the sound system is initialized.
* all other: no function.
These options should mainly be for end users who want to fine-tune how to play the music.
but only supports three pan positions and not the full 127 MIDI pan positions.
- Added opl_core cvar to select emulator core. 0 is MAME and 1 is DOSBox.
- Added DOSBox's LGPL OPL core, distantly related to one adlibemu.c written by Ken Silverman
(not to be confused with the ancient MAME-derived and GPL-licensed core also found in DOSBox).
I believe this corresponds to their "compat" emulator, but I'm not sure.
SVN r3946 (trunk)
Full stereo panning for the MIDI player. (The raw OPL players are unaffected.) To get the
mono output back, you can set opl_stereo to false.
- Changed SoftSynthMIDIDevice::OpenStream() to allocate the same number of samples for stereo
and mono streams.
SVN r3929 (trunk)
surprised if this doesn't build in Linux right now. The CMakeLists.txt
were checked with MinGW and NMake, but how they fair under Linux is an
unknown to me at this time.
- Converted most sprintf (and all wsprintf) calls to either mysnprintf or
FStrings, depending on the situation.
- Changed the strings in the wbstartstruct to be FStrings.
- Changed myvsnprintf() to output nothing if count is greater than INT_MAX.
This is so that I can use a series of mysnprintf() calls and advance the
pointer for each one. Once the pointer goes beyond the end of the buffer,
the count will go negative, but since it's an unsigned type it will be
seen as excessively huge instead. This should not be a problem, as there's
no reason for ZDoom to be using text buffers larger than 2 GB anywhere.
- Ripped out the disabled bit from FGameConfigFile::MigrateOldConfig().
- Changed CalcMapName() to return an FString instead of a pointer to a static
buffer.
- Changed startmap in d_main.cpp into an FString.
- Changed CheckWarpTransMap() to take an FString& as the first argument.
- Changed d_mapname in g_level.cpp into an FString.
- Changed DoSubstitution() in ct_chat.cpp to place the substitutions in an
FString.
- Fixed: The MAPINFO parser wrote into the string buffer to construct a map
name when given a Hexen map number. This was fine with the old scanner
code, but only a happy coincidence prevents it from crashing with the new
code
- Added the 'B' conversion specifier to StringFormat::VWorker() for printing
binary numbers.
- Added CMake support for building with MinGW, MSYS, and NMake. Linux support
is probably broken until I get around to booting into Linux again. Niceties
provided over the existing Makefiles they're replacing:
* All command-line builds can use the same build system, rather than having
a separate one for MinGW and another for Linux.
* Microsoft's NMake tool is supported as a target.
* Progress meters.
* Parallel makes work from a fresh checkout without needing to be primed
first with a single-threaded make.
* Porting to other architectures should be simplified, whenever that day
comes.
- Replaced the makewad tool with zipdir. This handles the dependency tracking
itself instead of generating an external makefile to do it, since I couldn't
figure out how to generate a makefile with an external tool and include it
with a CMake-generated makefile. Where makewad used a master list of files
to generate the package file, zipdir just zips the entire contents of one or
more directories.
- Added the gdtoa package from netlib's fp library so that ZDoom's printf-style
formatting can be entirely independant of the CRT.
SVN r1082 (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)
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)
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.
