does anyone have bg1npcMUSIC version 3 ?

[Azazello]

Or even better, just the playsong1.baf/playsong2.baf scripts?

[cmorgan]

only v4 here, I am afraid - I thought I had a legacy copy for backup, but apparently I don't

[Azazello]

I usually keep 3 revisions of mods, just for this reason.

 

Come on, someone must a copy! The original developers at least.

[cmorgan]

I searched the workrooms, and couldn't find reference, but that may be because I am lousy at searching; there does not seem to be any scratch work space or references in the regular BG1 NPC workroom after the decidsion to split it oiff as a separate mod for download size reasons.

 

Open call to Jastey, Domi, Kulyok, Andyr, anybody???

 

(I have every version of BG1 NPC from v11 forward rared, but for some reason didn't incorporate other mods in my backups. I am changing that behavior right now. It is a few MB on a CD - and can save lots of trouble later. I really, really hope someone has all of Dudleyville archived, too, for the eventual sad day when the site is taken offline...)

[Kulyok]

I usually don't install Music Pack at all, sorry.

 

Perhaps editing scripts by hand is an option?

[Azazello]

I don't have Dudleyville files but do have some older versions and some old mods. If anyone needs a list...

 

Here's my interest about v3: I was looking at the TP2 for v3 and v4, and noticed that the highlighted section was totally removed from v4:

I'm about to restart the megainstall again (discovered I had made some potentially drastic mistakes in previous install), and could not remember if music had actually played while I was in BG1.

 

Is the bolded section completely unneeded, or did I just find a big error?

[cmorgan]

I think it is completey unneded - BG1 NPC Project now incorporates the calls to the sounds directly via Dialogue.

 

 

Hold on - I'll be back with the code reference>>>

 

an example - Kivan's added talk about Kobolds, in the mines, initiated from BCS -

/* Kagain LVL 1 */
IF %BGT_VAR%
AreaCheck("%NashkelMines_L1%")
Global("X#KagainKobold","GLOBAL",0)
Global("X#KagainDink","GLOBAL",1)
InParty(Myself)
!StateCheck(Myself,CD_STATE_NOTVALID)
InMyArea(Player1)
!StateCheck(Player1,CD_STATE_NOTVALID)
CombatCounter(0)
!See([ENEMY])
THEN
RESPONSE #100
SetGlobal("X#KagainKobold","GLOBAL",1)
END

/* Initiate Kagain LVL 1 */
IF %BGT_VAR%
Global("X#KagainKobold","GLOBAL",1)
InParty(Myself)
!StateCheck(Myself,CD_STATE_NOTVALID)
InMyArea(Player1)
!StateCheck(Player1,CD_STATE_NOTVALID)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
PlaySong(0)  <<<<supposed to play a "blank" song, the incompatability w/BGT
PlaySound("kagain99") <<<<<<references the sound
StartDialogueNoSet(Player1)
END

 

 

On my EasyTutu install, there is still a bug to report here, as the song to play is supposed to be "blank" but the backround sound track continues to play.

 

(By the way, I belive that the Music portion is listed as completely incompatible with BGT - BGT fills up the whole songlist, and there are all sorts of warnings about this - but if I am correct about this, it may actually be ok to use it. It does mean you would need to turn the volume of the regular music down to 0, or you would get both happening ath the same time, like I do on Tutu when I have both installed)

Hey, Azzazello - give me 'til the end of the weekend, and I will have some more minor edits up so you can have the best BG1 NPC Project experience yet. It will be at the internal site I sent you ages ago - if you need a refresher, let me know!

[Thauron]

On my EasyTutu install, there is still a bug to report here, as the song to play is supposed to be "blank" but the backround sound track continues to play.

 

(By the way, I belive that the Music portion is listed as completely incompatible with BGT - BGT fills up the whole songlist, and there are all sorts of warnings about this - but if I am correct about this, it may actually be ok to use it. It does mean you would need to turn the volume of the regular music down to 0, or you would get both happening ath the same time, like I do on Tutu when I have both installed)

 

I don't think there is any incompatibility between BGT music and BG1NPC I think. BG1NPC calls songs from script, not through the songlist, doesn't it?

 

However, I do can report the bug you mention here in BGT as well - background music does not shut up when BG1NPC music plays.

[Azazello]

cmorgan: just remember I - and others - do not use BG1NPCv12. BG1NPC-for-BGT-v11+patch11.2. So the music-v3 TP2 might be needed for that combination.

 

Also, does this combo incorporates sounds via Dialogue files?

[cmorgan]

There, you have got a good point - and I have to say, I have no clue!

 

@Thauron - that means we have a trouble on both sides of the street - yes, the sounds are called from script as a sound rather than a songlist entry, but the code listed is supposed to edit the songlist to include a "BLANK" entry, so that the engine will PlaySong(0) - and therefore not make any sound, allowing the PlaySound to play without any materials.

 

Guys, you may want to recheck on the searches - I really did see several plaes where folks specifically indicated this music package was directly incompatible with BGT - I just don't remember where. If I had thought it was possible, I would have put it on he list. I am doing so now, because you folks are telling me that it might just work, and it is working the same on both BGT and Tutu - I am pretty darned sure they put out v4 because v3 was not working in all cases.

 

Azzazello, the way to check is to look in the BAF and D files in the BG1NPC-BGT v11 and see if there are PlaySong(0) and PlaySound(myNPC99) or PlaySound(myNPCROM).

 

imoen99.wav

etc.

[Azazello]

Thanks. I did check some, and Play commands are there, so I guess that how it works. Sorry for red alert.

 

I'll try a game tonight and see how it works out.

 

The v3 TP2 I posted above was a possible workaround which worked for me and Elrona. Here's the link.
